Lover, Come Back to Me
Longing Melody: Echoes of Love's Departure in Barbra Streisand's 'Lover, Come Back to Me'
Lyrics
Sky was blue and high above
The sky was clear and high above.
The moon was new, so was love
The moon was in its new phase, symbolizing the beginning of love.
This eager heart of mine was singing
The singer's heart was filled with anticipation and joy, expressing itself through song.
Lover, where can you be
The singer is yearning for their lover and wondering where they are.
It came at last love had its day
Love had its moment, but now it has passed, and the lover has departed.
The day is past, you've gone away
The day has ended, and the lover has left, leaving the singer in solitude.
This eager heart of mine is singing
The singer's heart, still eager, continues to express longing.
Lover, come to me
A plea for the lover to return and be with the singer.
I remember every little thing you used to do
Recollection of every small gesture the lover used to do, emphasizing the depth of the connection.
I'm lonely
The singer is experiencing loneliness.
Every road I walked along
Every path the singer walked on is associated with memories of the lover.
I walked along with you
Walking alongside the lover on life's journey.
No wonder I am lonely
The loneliness is explained, possibly due to the absence of the lover.
The sky is blue, the night is cold
Description of the current atmosphere: blue sky and cold night.
The moon is new, but love is old
The moon is new, but the love between them is old, suggesting a longstanding connection.
And while I'm waiting here
While waiting for the lover, the singer is still expressing their feelings.
This heart of mine is singing
The singer's heart is still singing, calling out for the lover to come.
Lover, come to me
A repetition of the plea for the lover to come back.
When I remember every little thing we used to do
Recalling every detail of the past actions with the lover intensifies the sense of loneliness.
Oh, I'm lonely
Reiteration of the singer's loneliness.
Every road I walked alone, I walked along with you
The singer walked alone on every road, but the memory of the lover accompanies them.
No wonder I am lonely
Repeating the idea that the singer is lonely due to the absence of the lover.
The sky is blue, the night is cold
Reiteration of the atmospheric conditions, highlighting the contrast with the enduring love.
The moon is new, but love is old
The moon is new, but the love remains old and steadfast.
And while I'm standing here
While standing and waiting, the singer's heart continues to express love and desire.
This heart of mine is singing
Repetition of the plea for the lover to return.
Lover, oh, lover, lover get here to me
An urgent call for the lover to come to the singer.
Now!
An immediate request for the lover to return now.
