I'll Remember You Lyrics

It's daybreak, and you are asleep,
I can hear you breathe now,
Your breath is deep

But before I go,
I'll look at you one last time,
I can hear a heart beat, is it yours or is it mine?

I look at your lips, I know how soft they can be,
Did they know what they wanted, the times they kissed me,

And your hands, that I've held in mine,
Now they're reposing on the pillow,
Will they ever miss me sometime?

I'll remember you, you will be there in my heart,
I'll remember you, but that is all that I can do,
But I'll remember

Your eyes, that always make me shiver,
Now they're closed, they just sometimes twitch a little,
And your body, I could hold for an hour,
It sent me to heaven, with its heat and power,

I'll remember you, you will be there in my heart,
I'll remember you, but that is all that I can do,
But I'll remember

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

For me this is a song about letting go of someone you don't want to let go - knowing that leaving is the right thing to do, but at the same time realising just how much you care for that person and how incredibly hard it is to walk away. And about the sheer pain of the moment - still basking in the nearness of the other one ("I can hear a heart beat, is it yours or is it mine?") while at the same time asking yourself dreaded questions about what will follow ("will he miss me?"). And what makes it almost unbearable: realising that you won't be able to forget anything, all those things that made you shiver: his lips, his hands, his eyes, his whole being will always be on your mind.

I remember.
