My Song
Love's Echo: Aretha's Melody of Longing and Hope
Lyrics
You told me
You communicated to me
That you would leave me here in tears
Assured that you would abandon me, causing sadness
Now you're gone and hours seem like years
Now that you're not here, time feels prolonged like years
So darling
Expressing affectionately
I sing my song
I express my emotions through this song
You're leaving
Your departure affects my heart rate, slowing it down
Makes my heart beat slow, and slow
Contemplating where you have gone
Now I'm wondering, where did you go?
Expressing confusion and a desire for an explanation
Please tell me
Pleading for information
Tell me what is wrong
Asking about the cause of the situation
I still love you
Despite the circumstances, I still have feelings for you
Won't you please come back to me
Requesting your return
Come back where
Asking you to come back to where you belong
Where you ought to be
Emphasizing the rightful place of your presence
Don't stay away from me
Urging not to stay distant
'Cause you'll always be my own
Affirming a lasting connection
We'll be together for eternity
Expressing commitment to a perpetual togetherness
You told me that you would leave me here in tears
Reiteration of the initial statement about leaving and sorrow
Now you're gone and hours seem like years
Re-emphasizing the prolonged absence
And you left me singing a song
You departed, leaving me singing this emotional song
I'm just singing a song
Repeating the act of singing a song, signifying emotional expression
You left me singing a song
Confirmation of the lingering emotional impact through the song
