The song “That’s Someone You Never Forget” was written by Elvis Presley and Red West and released in 1962. It is a ballad about the power of love and the lasting impact that a loved one can have on our lives. The song is thought to be about Elvis’s mother, Gladys, who died in 1958.
The song begins with the singer reflecting on a past love. He remembers the good times they shared and how they made him feel. He also remembers the pain of their separation and how it has left him empty.
The chorus of the song expresses the singer’s belief that the love he shared with this person is something that he will never forget. He sings, “That’s someone you never forget, someone you always hold dear.”
The verses of the song describe the singer’s thoughts and feelings about this person. He remembers the way they made him laugh and the way they made him feel loved. He also remembers the way they made him feel like he could do anything.
The song ends with the singer expressing his hope that he will see this person again someday. He sings, “I’ll see you again someday, even if it’s only in my dreams.”
The song speaks to the bittersweet nature of memories – the knowledge that even though the person may no longer be a part of your present, their impact and the feelings they inspired remain deeply ingrained in your heart.
Lyrics
The way she held your hand
The little things you planned
Her memory is with you yet
That’s someone you never forget
When she is far away
You’ll think of her each day
And you know she’ll wait for you
That’s someone you never forget
Others may pass your way
And let you think their love is true
But you know that they’ll never replace
The one that waits for you
The way she held your hand
The little things you planned
Her memory is with you yet
That’s someone you never forget
That’s someone you never forget
