I’ll Remember by Madonna
Theme from the motion picture “With Honors.”
Mmmm, mmmm
Say good-bye to not knowing when
The truth in my whole life began
Say good-bye to not knowing how to cry
You taught me that
Chorus
And I’ll remember the strength that you gave me
Now that I’m standing on my own
I’ll remember the way that you saved me
I’ll remember
Inside I was a child
That could not mend a broken wing
Outside I looked for a way
To teach my heart to sing
And I’ll remember the love that you gave me
Now that I’m standing on my own
I’ll remember the way that you changed me
I’ll remember
I learned
to let go
of the illusion that we can possess
I learned
to let go
I travel in stillness
And I’ll remember
happiness
I’ll remember [I’ll remember]
Mmmmm… [I’ll remember]
Mmmmm…
And I’ll remember the love that you gave me
Now that I’m standing on my own
I’ll remember the way that you changed me
I’ll remember
No I’ve never been afraid to cry
AND I finally have a reason why
I’ll remember [I’ll remember]
No I’ve never been afraid to cry
And I finally have a reason why
I’ll remember [I’ll remember]
No I’ve never been afraid to cry
And I finally have a reason why
I’ll remember [I’ll remember]
