Living Without You
Yearning in Dawn's Embrace: Barbra Streisand's Melodic Reflections
Lyrics
The milk truck hauls the sun up
The day begins symbolically as the sun rises, brought by the milk truck.
The paper hits the door
The routine of the day starts with the delivery of the newspaper to the door.
The subway shakes my floor
The subway passing causes physical vibrations, a metaphor for the impact of separation.
And I think about you
The singer reflects on thoughts of a significant person, indicating a longing or missing someone.
Time to face the dawning gray
Facing the beginning of a new day, described as gray, suggesting a lack of joy or hope.
Of another lonely day
Expressing the challenge of confronting another day alone and lonely.
Baby, it's so hard living without you
Acknowledging the difficulty of living without the person being addressed.
Yes, it's so hard
Reiterating the emotional struggle, emphasizing the hardship.
It's so hard
Emphasizing the repeated sentiment of how tough it is to live without the person.
Baby, it's so hard living without you
Reaffirming the emotional difficulty of existence without the addressed individual.
Everyone's got something
Observing that everyone has their pursuits and motivations in life.
They're out trying to get some more
People are actively seeking more in their lives, contrasted with the singer's feelings of emptiness.
They got something to get up for
Others have goals and reasons to wake up, unlike the singer who struggles to find purpose.
But I ain't about to
Expressing a lack of motivation or reason for the singer to face the day.
Nothing's gonna happen
Anticipating a lack of significant changes or events in the absence of the person.
Nothing's gonna change
Highlighting the stagnant and unchanging nature of life without the addressed individual.
Baby, it's so hard living without you
Reiterating the emotional challenge of living without the person, emphasizing the difficulty.
Yes, it's so hard
Emphasizing again the extreme emotional challenge and pain of living without the person.
It's so hard
Reiterating the sentiment of how tough it is to live without the person, underscoring the hardship.
Baby, it's so hard living without you
Affirming once more the emotional difficulty of existence without the addressed individual.
