When You Sang to Me
Echoes of Longing: Embracing Past and Present
Lyrics
A little part of me still wants and always wonders if
A part of the speaker still wonders about the possibility of finding something missing in the past.
If we had found the missing piece
Reflecting on what could have happened if they had found the missing piece.
How would it be
Contemplating how life would be if that missing element was discovered.
I wasn't the only one awake
The speaker wasn't the only one awake during a significant moment.
When you sang to me
Referring to a moment when someone sang to the speaker, suggesting a special and intimate connection.
Just how I imagined it would be
The experience matched the speaker's expectations.
When you came
Describing the arrival of someone important.
I never wanted you to know who I used to be
The speaker wanted to keep their past hidden from someone.
Denying it just forces it to show
Denial of the past only makes it more evident.
But you couldn't see
The other person couldn't perceive the speaker's hidden past.
I wasn't the only one awake when you came to me

La la la la la la I need you to (I need you, I need you)

Time will tell the most importing thing - if it's lasting
Highlighting the importance of time in revealing lasting qualities or truths.
I wouldn't want you any other way
Expressing acceptance and appreciation for the other person as they are.
So come with me - Come with me
An urging invitation for the other person to join the speaker.
I wasn't the only one awake when you came to me
Reiterating that others were also awake during the significant moment when the other person came.
Just how I imagined it would be when you sing
Confirming that the experience matched the speaker's expectations during the singing.
