Baby Can I Hold You
Emotional Apologies: Unspoken Words in 'Baby Can I Hold You'
Lyrics
Sorry
Expressing remorse or regret
Is all that you can't say
Apology is the only thing left unsaid
Years gone by and still
The passage of time without resolution
Words don't come easily
Difficulty in expressing feelings verbally
Like sorry like sorry
Reiteration of the struggle to apologize
Forgive me
Asking for forgiveness
Is all that you can't say
Forgiveness is the challenging expression
Years gone by and still
Time passing without resolution
Words don't come easily
Difficulty in finding the right words
Like forgive me forgive me
Repeated plea for forgiveness
But you can say baby
Introducing a different possibility
Baby can I hold you tonight
Asking for physical closeness and comfort
Maybe if I told you the right words
Suggesting a potential solution through words
At the right time you'd be mine
Timing and choice of words crucial for a relationship
I love you
Expressing deep affection
Is all that you can't say
Similar pattern with "I love you" as the unspoken
Years gone by and still
The passage of time without expressing love
Words don't come easily
Continued difficulty in verbalizing emotions
Like I love you I love you
Repetition of the struggle to say "I love you"
