In My Life
Cherished Moments and Everlasting Love: In My Life by Lena Horne
Lyrics
There are places I'll remember
Reflecting on significant places in the past that hold memories.
All my life, though some have changed
Throughout my entire life, some experiences have transformed.
Some forever, not for better
Some enduring, but not necessarily improved.
Some have gone and some remain
People have come and gone, but some still remain.
All these places had their moments
Recalling moments in each of these places.
With lovers and friends, I still can recall
Memories with both lovers and friends are still vivid.
Some are dead and some are living
Some remembered are deceased, while others are alive.
In my life, I've loved them all
Expressing love for all these experiences and relationships.
But of all these friends and lovers
Comparing all friends and lovers, none match your significance.
There is no one compares with you
Highlighting the unparalleled importance of a specific person.
And these memories lose their meaning
Recognition that memories can change in meaning over time.
When I think of love as something new
New love makes past memories of love seem different.
Though I know I'll never lose affection
Acknowledging a lasting affection for the past.
For people and things that went before
Maintaining affection for people and things from the past.
I know I'll often stop and think about them
Anticipating moments of reflection on the past.
In my life, I'll love you more
Reaffirming love for the specific person mentioned.
Though I know I'll never lose affection
Reiteration of enduring affection for the past.
For people and things that went before
Continued love for people and things from bygone times.
I know I'll often stop and think about them
Expectation of pausing to reminisce about the past.
In my life, I'll love you more
Reaffirming an enduring love for the specific person.
