A Place in My Heart
Cherished Memories: A Place in My Heart by The Sound of Monday
Lyrics
There’s a place in my heart for you
Expressing a reserved emotional space in the speaker's heart for someone special.
A place in my heart for you
Reiteration of the emotional space held in the speaker's heart for the same person.
We used to laugh
Recalling a time of joy and laughter in the past.
Never thought the days would pass
Reflecting on the unexpected passage of time.
It really was a gas for years
Describing the enjoyable and carefree nature of the past experiences.
We’ve moved on; not all of it is gone
Acknowledging that life has moved on, but not all memories have faded.
And you can rest upon
Highlighting the enduring nature of certain memories.
This simple little fact forevermore
Emphasizing the permanence of a simple truth in connection to those memories.
I knew a girl; a very special girl
Introducing a specific person from the speaker's past who held great significance.
Who used to mean the world to me
Describing the person as having once meant the world to the speaker.
But while I’m in another place and time
Acknowledging the speaker's current existence in a different context.
Still I am reminded
Expressing a continued recollection of the person despite the passage of time.
Freedom is what you make of it now
Stating the philosophy that freedom is shaped by individual choices in the present.
A place in my heart for you
Reaffirming the enduring emotional space in the speaker's heart for the person.
You can’t make me give up
Asserting the speaker's resilience and refusal to give up.
I’m inviting you in
Welcoming the person into the speaker's life.
And I’m never gonna stop
Declaring the speaker's determination to persist in their actions.
You don’t have to come out
Assuring that the person doesn't need to change or reveal themselves.
No one’s gonna take your spot
Ensuring the person's place is secure and won't be taken by others.
‘Cuz only you have what you’ve got
Emphasizing the unique qualities possessed by the person.
We’ll always share a history we bear
Acknowledging a shared history that both parties carry.
So I’ll always be there in our memories
Committing to always being present in memories related to that shared history.
As long as I can dream
Affirming the speaker's enduring presence as long as dreaming is possible.
