"I'll Never Forget You"

When I listened to Planes/Never Even Thought a couple days ago, I noticed that "away" in the line "If no one's watchin', I walk away" in "I'll Never Forget You" is sung with a melisma (Eb Bb Ab), musically giving a sense of that movement.

When I referenced the song in order to transcribe a bit of the lyrics and to find those specific pitches, I also noticed that there's a merism in the chorus, specifically in the line "You're here with me night and day."
