"Always Remember Us This Way" lyrics

"Always Remember Us This Way"
(from "A Star Is Born" soundtrack)

That Arizona sky burning in your eyes
You look at me and, babe, I wanna catch on fire
It's buried in my soul like California gold
You found the light in me that I couldn't find

So when I'm all choked up
But I can't find the words
Every time we say goodbye
Baby, it hurts
When the sun goes down
And the band won't play
I'll always remember us this way

Lovers in the night
Poets tryna write
We don't know how to rhyme
But damn we try
But all I really know
You're where I wanna go
The part of me that's you will never die

So when I'm all choked up
But I can't find the words
Every time we say goodbye
Baby, it hurts
When the sun goes down
And the band won't play
I'll always remember us this way

Oh, yeah
I don't wanna be just a memory, baby, yeah
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo hoo hooooooooo

So when I'm all choked up
But I can't find the words
Every time we say goodbye
Baby, it hurts
When the sun goes down
And the band won't play
I'll always remember us this way, way, yeah

When you look at me
And the whole world fades
I'll always remember us this way

Oooh, oooh, hmmmm
Oooh, oooh, hmmmm

Lori McKenna, co-writer of this song, told Esquire, "There was a moment where we all got choked up. Whenever that happens when writing a song, it's gotta stay! There were moments when [Gaga] would start crying and I'm like, "Is this good crying or bad crying?!" Good crying, right?!"
The "That Arizona sky burnin' in your eyes" line is a reference to Jackson Maine's home land, where he grew up on a ranch. And there's also a small detail: Bradley Cooper's eyes, who plays him in the film, are so blue... just like the sky.
This track features background vocals from its co-writers: Natalie Hemby, Hillary Lindsey and Lori McKenna.
