I'll Remember April
Embracing Memories: Boz Scaggs' Poetic Reflection on Love in 'I'll Remember April'
Lyrics
This lovely day will lengthen into evening
This beautiful day will gradually transition into evening.
We'll sigh goodbye to all we've ever had
We'll bid farewell to everything we've ever experienced.
Alone where we have walked together
Alone in the places where we used to walk together.
I'll remember April and be glad
I will recall the memories of April and find joy in them.
I'll be content you loved me once in April
I will find satisfaction in the fact that you loved me during April.
Your lips were warm and love and spring were new
Your kisses were filled with warmth, and our love blossomed in the springtime.
But I'm not afraid of autumn and her sorrow
Despite the inevitable autumn and its sorrows, I am not afraid.
For I'll remember April and you
Because I will cherish the memories of April and of you.
The fire will dwindle into glowing ashes
The passion and intensity will fade away, leaving only glowing embers.
For flames and love live such a little while
Both flames and love have a short lifespan.
I won't forget but I won't be lonely
I won't forget, but I won't be consumed by loneliness.
I'll remember April and smile
I'll recall the moments of April with a smile on my face.
I'll be content you loved me once in April
Once again, finding contentment in the knowledge that you loved me in April.
Your lips were warm and love and spring were new
Your affectionate kisses and the freshness of spring marked that time.
But I'm not afraid of autumn and her sorrow
Autumn and its inevitable sadness won't intimidate me.
For I'll remember April and you
Because the memories of April and you will remain with me.
The fire will dwindle into glowing ashes
The fire of passion will diminish, leaving behind glowing ashes.
For flames and love live such a little while
Both fiery passion and love have a fleeting existence.
I won't forget but I won't be lonely
I won't erase the memories, but I won't succumb to loneliness.
I'll remember April and smile
I'll reminisce about April with a smile, appreciating the positive moments.
