Something to Remember
Echoes of Longing: Gerry Beckley's Yearning Melody
Lyrics
Everybody wants a piece of me
Expressing the universal desire for attention and recognition.
There's not enough to go around you'll see
Highlighting the scarcity of resources or attention, suggesting competition.
Still, it's one and one and one makes three
Emphasizing the individuality in relationships, where one and one together create a unique dynamic.
You should know

You should know

There is nobody who could take your place
Stating the irreplaceability of someone in the speaker's life.
Though I've searched the whole human race
Despite searching extensively, the desired connection has not been established.
Still, it hasn't brought us face to face
Expressing the yearning for a face-to-face encounter that has not yet occurred.
I don't know
Reiterating uncertainty or lack of understanding regarding the situation.
I don't know

Every night when I go to bed

When the night is over

All I'll keeping is a photograph
Retaining a photograph as a keepsake, possibly symbolizing a memory or a relationship.
The one you told me I should tear in half
Contradicting the suggestion to tear the photograph, implying a reluctance to let go.
Hardly fitting as our epitaph
Questioning the appropriateness of the photograph as a lasting symbol of the relationship.
Wouldn't you
Seeking confirmation or agreement regarding the appropriateness of the photograph.
Say that's true
Asking for acknowledgment or affirmation that the statement is accurate.
Every night when I go to bed

I hear your voice whisper in my head (I)

Give me something to remember

I can't go on
Expressing a sense of inability to continue in the current state or situation.
There's no one else

It takes so long
