Never Let Me Go
Eternal Embrace: Aretha's Melody of Love and Loss
Lyrics
Just let me love you tonight
Expressing a desire for love in the present moment.
Forget about tomorrow
Encouraging to focus on the current time and not worry about the future.
My darling won't
Assuring the partner that they won't be abandoned.
You hold me tight
Requesting a close and comforting embrace.
And never let
Emphasizing the need for a continuous, unbroken connection.
Never let me go
Reiterating the plea to never be abandoned.
Cry your eyes
Encouraging not to shed tears or feel sadness.
No tears no sorrow
Discouraging sorrow or emotional pain.
Cling to me
Asking for a strong emotional attachment.
With all your might
Requesting a firm and unwavering commitment.
And never let me go
Repeating the plea to never be abandoned.
A million times or more
Indicating a repeated expression of love.
We said we'd never never never never part
Stating a commitment to never part, but a recent realization challenges this.
Ah but lately
Acknowledging a recent change or realization.
Lately I find
Expressing a feeling of unfamiliarity with the partner.
That you're a stranger
Describing the partner as a stranger within the singer's heart.
A stranger in my heart
Highlighting the emotional distance between the partners.
Give me give me give me
Expressing a desire for something important.
Give me the right
Seeking the right to assert something meaningful.
In summer
Referring to a specific time, possibly symbolizing a season of life.
Or in springtime
Expressing the desire to proclaim the importance of the partner to the world.
To tell the world
Asserting the partner's significance in the singer's life.
That you're the you're and you're everything of mine
Declaring the partner as everything to the singer.
And you'll never
Reiterating the plea to never be abandoned.
Oh never let me go
Emphasizing the commitment to never let go.
No
Repeating the assurance of never being abandoned.
You'll never let me go
Reiterating the commitment to never let go.
