Lyrics
That yellow dress you wore
Reflecting on a specific moment: the yellow dress worn on a past occasion
When we went dancing Sunday nights
Recalling Sunday nights spent dancing together
That smile you give me
Noting the smile received during movie nights when lights dimmed
In the movies when they dimmed the lights
Highlighting attempts to erase the memory but failing
I've tried in vain to wash the memory from my brain
Expressing difficulty in forgetting a significant memory
I can't forget you
Reiterating the inability to forget someone
And that's what love will do
Stating that such enduring memories are a result of love
That's what love will do
Repeating the idea that love leaves lasting impressions
The spins we took together
Recalling shared moments, possibly adventures on a motorbike
On my beat-up motorbike
Specific reference to shared experiences on a beat-up motorbike
The look your pa would give me
Mentioning the disapproving look received from the partner's father
When we got back late at night
Referring to the consequences of returning home late
I've tried in vain to wash the memory from my brain
Reiterating the difficulty in forgetting these memories
I can't forget you
Emphasizing the indelible nature of the memories
And that's what love will do
Reaffirming that enduring memories are a manifestation of love
That's what love will do
Repeating the theme that love leaves a lasting impact
I never see you except now and then
Expressing infrequent encounters with the person
But when I see you
Describing the rekindling of emotions upon seeing the person again
The longing starts all over again (over again)
Highlighting the recurrence of emotional longing
Put out the candle
Symbolizing the end of a romantic connection
And tomorrow it burns bright again
Emphasizing the inevitability of memories resurfacing
But when I lost you
Expressing the irreparable loss of the person
It could never be put right again
Stating that the loss cannot be rectified
What can I do?
Expressing helplessness in the face of memories
My memory won't let go of you
Describing the persistent nature of memories
I can't forget you
Reiterating the inability to forget
And that's what love will do
Affirming that enduring memories are a consequence of love
That's what love will do
Repeating the idea that love leaves an indelible mark
I've tried in vain to wash the memory from my brain
Reiterating the difficulty in erasing memories
I can't forget you
Emphasizing the persistent nature of the memories
And that's what love will do
Reaffirming that enduring memories are a result of love
That's what love will do
Repeating the theme that love leaves a lasting impact
That yellow dress you wore
Recalling the yellow dress worn during Sunday night dancing
When we went dancing Sunday nights
Reiterating the importance of the specific attire in memory
That smile you give me
Recalling the captivating smile during movie nights
In the movies when they dimmed the lights
Highlighting the impact of the dimmed lights on the memory
I've tried in vain to wash the memory from my brain
Reiterating the difficulty in forgetting the memories
I can't forget you
Emphasizing the enduring nature of the memories
And that's what love will do
Stating that enduring memories are a result of love
That's what love will do
Repeating the idea that love leaves an indelible mark
That's what love will do
Concluding with the assertion that love's impact is lasting
