If I Needed You
Unwavering Devotion in Asleep at the Wheel's Melody
Lyrics
If I needed you
If the speaker required assistance or support
Would you come to me
Asking if the person being addressed would be willing to come
Would you come to me
Repetition, emphasizing the plea for assistance
For to ease my pain
To alleviate the speaker's suffering
If you needed me
Expressing reciprocal readiness to provide help
I would come to you
Commitment to come and offer support
I would swim the seas
Willingness to go to great lengths for the other person
For to ease your pain
To relieve the other person's pain
Well the night's forlorn
Describing a lonely night
And the morning's born
Highlighting the birth of a new day
And the morning shines
The morning is radiant with the warmth of love
With the lights of love
Symbolic mention of the positive influence of love
And you'll miss sunrise
Warning about missing the beauty of life if one remains closed
If you close your eyes
Advising against closing one's eyes to the joys of life
And that would break
The consequence of missing out would be heartbreaking
My heart in two
Expressing emotional vulnerability
If I needed you
Repetition of the initial plea for assistance
Would you come to me
Restating the hypothetical need for help
Would you come to me
Reiterating the question, seeking reassurance
For to ease my pain
To alleviate the pain experienced by the speaker
If you needed me
Reiterating the readiness to provide support if needed
I would come to you
Reaffirming the commitment to come to the other's aid
I would swim the seas
Willingness to go to great lengths to help
For to ease your pain
To alleviate the other person's suffering
Baby's with me now
Noting the presence of a baby after sharing knowledge
Since I showed her how
Implying a positive change or development
To lay
Teaching the partner to lay hands together
Her lilly
Describing the partner's hands as delicate and pure
Hand in mine
Symbolizing unity and closeness
Who would ill agree
Indicating that others would agree about the partner's qualities
She's a sight to see
Complimenting the partner's appearance
A treasure for
Highlighting the partner as a valuable find for those in need
The poor to find
Emphasizing the partner's worth for the less fortunate
If I needed you
Reiteration of the initial question about needing assistance
Would you come to me
Asking again for reassurance in a time of need
Would you come to me
Repeating the question, underscoring the importance of the answer
For to ease my pain
To alleviate the pain experienced by the speaker
If you needed me
Reiterating the readiness to provide support if needed
I would come to you
Reaffirming the commitment to come to the other's aid
I would swim the seas
Willingness to go to great lengths to help
For to ease your pain
To alleviate the other person's suffering
