In My Life
Cherished Moments and Everlasting Love: In My Life by Bill Frisell
Lyrics
There are places I'll remember
Reflecting on memorable places from the past
All my life, though some have changed
Throughout my entire life, acknowledging changes in some of those places
Some forever, not for better
Recognizing that some places remain the same, not necessarily for the better
Some have gone and some remain
Noting the departure of some from these places while others persist
All these places had their moments
Recalling significant moments in each of these places
With lovers and friends, I still can recall
Remembering moments shared with both lovers and friends
Some are dead and some are living
Acknowledging the varied fates of individuals, some alive and some deceased
In my life, I've loved them all
Expressing love for all these people and experiences
But of all these friends and lovers
Comparing friends and lovers, highlighting a special person
There is no one compares with you
Emphasizing the unique significance of one person above all others
And these memories lose their meaning
Noting that memories can lose their significance over time
When I think of love as something new
Contemplating love as if it were a new and unfamiliar experience
Though I know I'll never lose affection
Affirming a lasting affection for people and things of the past
For people and things that went before
Committing to not lose affection for those from the past
I know I'll often stop and think about them
Anticipating moments of reflection about the past
In my life, I'll love you more
Reiterating love for the special person mentioned earlier
Though I know I'll never lose affection
Repeating the commitment to maintain affection for the past
For people and things that went before
Reaffirming the enduring love for people and things that came before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
Reiterating the expectation of stopping to think about the past
In my life, I'll love you more
Reaffirming the enduring love for a particular person in the speaker's life
