Once I Was Loved
Embracing Memories of Love: Melody Gardot's 'Once I Was Loved' Reflection
Lyrics
I don't remember
I have no recollection
When I was young
Referring to the time of youth
I don't recall the day when I first saw the sun
No memory of the first sight of the sun
But what I am certain
Confident about something
What is enough
What is sufficient
Is just to remember that once, once I was loved
Reflecting on the past when love was present
I still surrender
Still yielding to unknown challenges
To troubles unknown
Acknowledging personal troubles
No use pretending all the troubles ain't my own
No use in pretending troubles don't belong
But what I am certain
Confident about something (similar to line 4)
What is enough
What is sufficient (similar to line 5)
Is just to remember that once, once I was loved
Reflecting on the past love (similar to line 6)
After the years gone by
Time has passed
What amounts to the years in a life
Considering the duration of life
What have we come to
Questioning the state of being as life nears its end
When we reach our final days?
Reflection on life's conclusion
If we can surrender, then that is enough
If one can yield, it's enough
Just to remember that once, once we were loved
Reflecting on a shared past when love was present
Once we were beautiful, once we were loved
Recalling a time of beauty and love
If we can surrender
If surrender is possible
Then that is enough
If surrender is achieved, it's enough
Just to remember that once, once we were loved
Reflecting on a shared past when love was present (similar to line 21)
