I Would Like to See You Again
Yearning Echoes: Rekindling Memories with Johnny Cash
Lyrics
I was sittin' here thinkin' about old times
I am reflecting on past experiences.
Some old times, some old friends
Recalling moments and friends from the past.
When suddenly it crossed my mind
A sudden desire arises to reconnect.
That I would like to see you a-gain
Expressing the wish to meet again.
It's funny how an old flame comes back
Noting the unexpected return of an old romantic interest.
Come on back, make you blue
The reappearance brings sadness or nostalgia.
But I just saw a picture of a railroad track
Seeing a photo triggers memories of a railroad track and a shack.
And some old shack, and me and you
Recalling a specific place and time shared with the person.
The years have come and gone
Reflecting on the passage of time and life events.
And a whole lot has happened since then
Highlighting significant changes since the past.
But tonight babe your memory's awfully strong on my mind
Despite time passing, the memories of the person are strong.
And I would like to see you again
Reiterating the desire to meet again due to strong memories.
Remember how we used to walk and talk
Recalling shared moments of walking, talking, and hand-holding.
Walk and talk, holdin' hands
Emphasizing the physical and emotional connection.
We said we loved each other I recall
Remembering declarations of love and future plans.
We made a lot of future plans
Reflecting on the aspirations made together.
I guess I'd better straighten out my mind
Recognizing the need to clear one's thoughts.
Straighten it out, and go to bed
Deciding to go to bed and attempt to move on.
And pray that I don't dream about old times
Hoping not to dream about past times.
Some old times, gone and dead
Acknowledging that those times are gone and in the past.
The years have come and gone
Reiterating the impact of time and life events.
And a whole lot has happened since then
Emphasizing the changes experienced since then.
But tonight babe your memory's awfully strong on my mind
Despite the years, strong memories of the person persist.
And I would like to see you again
Expressing the ongoing desire to reconnect.
