Lyrics & Translation

[English]

("I Will Remember")

(singers harmonizing)

♪ I was born in the land of the sun ♪

♪ And the tall green grass ♪

♪ And I don't understand ♪

♪ How all this has come to pass ♪

♪ How we've come to surround ourselves ♪

♪ In a sea of thieves ♪

♪ In a land without learning ♪

♪ Only the fools believe ♪

(singers harmonizing)

♪ I went driving last night ♪

♪ On a dark canyon road ♪

♪ Had the sky to myself ♪

♪ But I wasn't alone ♪

♪ Had the pain of my lifetime ♪

♪ For my company ♪

♪ How did it end up like this ♪

♪ For you and me ♪

♪ When love breaks the promise ♪

♪ The heart has to keep ♪

♪ It leaves only truth here to find ♪

♪ When the spirit is crushed ♪

♪ And the hurt is so deep ♪

♪ Between you and I ♪

♪ Even when love has come and gone ♪

♪ And our hearts have moved along ♪

♪ I will remember ♪

♪ There was a time we had the trust ♪

♪ And that always was enough ♪

♪ I will remember ♪

♪ I will remember you ♪

(singers harmonizing)

♪ As I open my eyes to one more day ♪

♪ The wind burns my face ♪

♪ As it whispers your name ♪

♪ As it's pulling me forward ♪

♪ It tears me free ♪

♪ And the only thing left ♪

♪ Is the tears for you and me ♪

♪ 'Cause when love breaks the promise ♪

♪ The heart has to keep ♪

♪ It leaves only truth here to find ♪

♪ When the spirit is crushed ♪

♪ And the hurt is so deep ♪

♪ Between you and I ♪

♪ Even when love has come and gone ♪

♪ And our hearts have moved along ♪

♪ I will remember ♪

♪ There was a time we had the trust ♪

♪ And that always was enough ♪

♪ I will remember ♪

♪ I will remember you ♪
