I'll Just Remember
Eternal Reminiscence: Love's Embrace in July
Lyrics
The candle of June
The fleeting nature of time, represented by the metaphorical "candle of June."
Will wax and wane like the moon
Symbolizing the cyclical and changing aspects of life, comparing it to the waxing and waning moon.
I wish I could live and die
An expression of a desire for a meaningful existence, encompassing both life and death.
And be reborn in July
A wish to undergo a transformation or renewal, signified by being reborn in July.
To burn for you another time
Expressing a willingness to endure difficulties or challenges for the sake of a special person.
But I'll just remember
Choosing to retain memories instead of physically reliving or recreating past experiences.
I see lovers on the hill
Observing romantic scenes, possibly longing for a similar connection or experience.
Watch the clouds move, lying still
Noting the tranquility of the moment, with clouds symbolizing the passage of time.
She runs her fingers through the grass
A desire to have a tactile connection with the environment, here represented by running fingers through grass.
I wish I were the light that passed
Expressing a wish to be a positive influence or source of joy in someone's life.
Into your dark eyes when you laughed
Wishing to be a source of light and happiness, particularly in moments of laughter.
But I'll just remember
(Refrain)
The shimmering leaves
Describing the beauty and delicacy of nature, using shimmering leaves as a metaphor.
Of those cottonwood trees
Depicting a farewell or transition, as the leaves whisper goodbye to the departing sun.
Whisper goodbye to the sun
Expressing a desire for a reunion in the night, symbolized by the wish for a presence in the darkness.
I wish in the night you'd come
Longing for a merging or unity in the night, perhaps on a deeper emotional or spiritual level.
Melt in the darkness, be as one
Expressing a desire for a profound connection in the darkness, suggesting intimacy and oneness.
But I'll just remember
(Final reiteration of the choice to hold onto memories as opposed to recreating them.)
