  • Hmm, hmm
    Say goodbye
    Not knowing when
    The truth in my whole life began
    Say goodbye
    Not knowing how to cry
    You taught me that

    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, hmm

    I'll remember, hmm
    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'll rememeber)

    Now I'll never be afraid to cry
    Now I finally have a reason why

    I'll remember (I'll remember)
    Now I'll never be afraid to cry
    Now I finally have a reason why

    I'll remember (I'll remember)
    Now I'll never be afraid to cry
    And I finally have a reason why

    I'll remember (I'll remember)
    Now I'll never be afraid to cry
    And I finally have a reason why

  • Leo from Westminster 1, MdMadonna Cries in I'll Remember. Only Her Artistry, Delivery and Sadness matter in the end. Her writing and voice are from her heart. Like this song cries, Madonna is never afraid to cry. That's what makes her brilliant! I'll Remember=Ciccone magic! Madonna Forever!
  • Theresa from Murfreesboro, TnSuch a tender song, Madonna's delivery is her real magic.
