They Can't Take That Away from Me
Unforgettable Memories: They Can't Take That Away
Lyrics
Our romance won't end on a sorrowful note,
Expressing that the romantic relationship will not end sadly.
Though by tomorrow you're gone;
Even though the person will be gone by tomorrow.
The song is ended, but as the songwriter wrote,
Acknowledging the end of the song but emphasizing the lasting melody.
The melody lingers on.
The impact of the melody continues beyond the song's conclusion.
They may take you from me, I'll miss your fond caress.
Anticipating separation and the yearning for the person's touch.
But though they take you from me, I'll still possess.
Claiming emotional possession despite physical separation.
The way you wear your hat
Highlighting unique characteristics and experiences that can't be taken away.
The way your sip your tea
-The memory of all that
-No, no, they can't take that away from me
-The way your smile just beams
Emphasizing personal, imperfect, yet cherished qualities and memories.
The way you sing off key
-The way you haunt my dreams
-No, no, they can't take that away from me
-We may never, never meet again
Acknowledging the uncertainty of meeting again but cherishing memories.
On the bumpy road to love
-Still, I'll always, always keep the memory of
-The way you hold your knife
Detailing specific actions and moments that have left a lasting impact.
The way we danced till three
-The way you changed my life
-No, no, they can't take that away from me
-No, they can't take that away from me
Reaffirming the permanence of the memories.
W e may never, never meet again
Reiterating the possibility of not meeting again but holding onto memories.
On the bumpy road to love
-Still, I'll always, always keep the memory of
-The way you hold your knife
Repeating the emphasis on specific actions and their significance.
The way we danced till three
-The way you changed my life
-No, no, they can't take that away from me
-No, they can't take that away from me
Final affirmation that certain aspects can't be taken away.
Can't take that away
Concluding with a strong assertion that these memories are enduring and cannot be taken away.
Can't take that away from me
