In My Life
Cherished Memories and Everlasting Love: In My Life by Roberta Flack
Lyrics
Got to remember
Recognizing the need to retain memories
There are places I'll remember
Reflecting on memorable places from the past
All my life though some have changed
Throughout life, some places have evolved or altered
Some forever not for better
Some places endure, but not always positively
Some have gone and some remain
Some places have vanished, while others persist
All these places had their moments
These locations had significant moments or events
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Recollections include moments with both past lovers and friends
Some are dead and some are living
Some individuals mentioned are deceased, while others are alive
In my life I've loved them all.
Expressing affection for all individuals encountered in life
But of all these friends and lovers
Comparing friends and lovers, emphasizing one exceptional person
There is no one compares with you
Highlighting the unparalleled significance of one particular individual
And these memories lose their meaning
Suggesting that memories can lose significance in the context of new love
When I think of love as something new
New love alters perceptions of past memories
Though I know I'll never lose affection
Commitment to cherish past connections despite new affection
For people and things that went before
Affection for people and things from the past remains
I know I'll often stop and think about them
Expectation to frequently reminisce about past connections
In my life I love you more.
Emphasizing greater love for the special individual mentioned
Though I know I'll never lose affection
Reiterating commitment to hold affection for the past
For people and things that went before
Reaffirming sentiment for people and things from the past
I know I'll often stop and think about them.
Expectation of frequent reflection on past experiences
In my life I love you more
Underscoring deeper affection for the mentioned person
In my life I love you more
Reiteration of stronger love for the specific individual
