Sweet Norma Jean
Sweet Norma Jean: A Melodic Journey Through Lifelong Love
Lyrics
Sometimes memories are all that we have
Sometimes memories are the only things we possess
To remember the good time and the bad
Recalling both positive and negative experiences
So I’ll tell you our stories again and again
Sharing our stories repeatedly
‘Cause this is all I know to help you not forget
Using memories to prevent forgetting
Sweet Norma Jean, Sweet Norma Jean
Referring to a person named Norma Jean affectionately
I’ll be singin’ happy trails to you until we meet again
Expressing good wishes until the next meeting
Sweet Norma Jean, sweet Norma Jean
Continuing the sentiment of well-wishing
You have my heart now, keep it with you
Committing one's heart to Norma Jean
You know my name, please keep it with you.
Requesting Norma Jean to remember the speaker's name
We’ve got pictures together, of our kids all grown up
Having shared memories of children growing up
And they all have families of their own
Children have families of their own now
I’ll paint for you their faces again and again
Creating a visual image of the grown-up children
And I’ll try hard to not get too upset.
Struggling to avoid becoming too emotional
Sweet Norma Jean, Sweet Norma Jean
Repeating the well-wishing sentiment to Norma Jean
I’ll be singin’ happy trails to you until we meet again
Continuing to express good wishes for the future
Sweet Norma Jean, sweet Norma Jean
Reiterating commitment and affection
You have my heart now, keep it with you
Reaffirming the giving of one's heart to Norma Jean
You know my name, please keep it with you.
Emphasizing the importance of remembering the name
The scary part is when you don’t know who you are
Highlighting the unsettling aspect of forgetting one's identity
Until we meet again
Reassuring Norma Jean about meeting again
When your eyes look strange and seem so very far
Describing the unsettling look in the eyes
But when you look at me, I’ll show you, again and again
Promising to show recognition and familiarity
You’re my cowgirl, my partner, and my friend
Acknowledging the various roles of Norma Jean
Sweet Norma Jean, Sweet Norma Jean
Repeated expression of well-wishing to Norma Jean
I’ll be singin’ happy trails to you until we meet again
Continuing to sing happy trails until the next meeting
Sweet Norma Jean, sweet Norma Jean
Affirming the enduring affection towards Norma Jean
You have my heart now, keep it with you
Reiterating the commitment of giving one's heart
You know my name, please keep it with you.
Stressing the importance of remembering the speaker's name
