Please don't go
Longing Echoes: André Rieu's Melody of Love and Loss
Lyrics
Oh my love, why did you leave me?
Expressing sorrow and questioning the reason for the loved one's departure
Say, is it true that you have gone?
Seeking confirmation about the departure, questioning if it's true
My whole world is full of darkness
Describing a world filled with darkness, emphasizing the emotional impact of the absence
Without you there is no sun
Stating that without the loved one, life lacks brightness and joy
Oh my love, I feel so lonely
Expressing deep loneliness in the absence of the loved one
I'm yearning for your lovely eyes
Longing for the affection reflected in the loved one's eyes
All I have, is just the memory
Having only memories of the loved one's face, emphasizing the past
Of your face so dear and wise
Describing the loved one's face as dear and wise, highlighting its significance
All the time we were together
Recalling the time spent together, emphasizing the duration of the relationship
We always thought it was for ever
Believing that the togetherness would last forever
Once we lived in paradise
Reflecting on a past time of happiness and bliss
With roses red and silver skies
Describing a beautiful past with imagery of roses and silver skies
We used to laugh and dance and live
Remembering joyful moments of laughter, dance, and a happy life
A life of happiness
Stating that life was filled with happiness
And full of sweet caress
Emphasizing the presence of sweet caresses in the past
Oh darling
Directly addressing the loved one with a term of endearment
Please don't go
Pleading for the loved one not to leave
Because I need you
Expressing dependency and the need for the loved one
I cannot live when you have gone
Stating the impossibility of living without the departed loved one
My whole world is full of darkness
Reiterating the darkness in the world due to the absence of the loved one
Never more will there be sun
Declaring the permanent absence of brightness in life
All the time we were together
Recalling the belief that the togetherness would last forever (repeated)
We always thought it was for ever
Reiterating the idea of eternal togetherness (repeated)
Oh my love, I feel so lonely
Reiterating the deep loneliness felt in the absence of the loved one (repeated)
I'm yearning for your lovely eyes
Reiterating the yearning for the affection reflected in the loved one's eyes (repeated)
All I have, is just the memory
Reiterating the possession of only memories of the loved one's face (repeated)
Of your face so dear and wise
Reiterating the description of the loved one's face as dear and wise (repeated)
Please don't go
Repeating the plea for the loved one not to leave
Because I need you
Repeating the expression of dependency and the need for the loved one
Oh please don't go
Repeating the plea for the loved one not to leave (repeated)
Because I need you
Repeating the expression of dependency and the need for the loved one (repeated)
I need you, I need you, just you...
Repeating the intense need for the loved one, emphasizing singularity
