Even Now
Timeless Longing: Barry Manilow's Heartfelt Reflections
Lyrics
Even now when there's someone else who cares
Reflecting on the presence of someone else who cares, despite the current situation.
When there's someone home who's waiting just for me
Acknowledging the existence of someone waiting at home, emphasizing commitment.
Even now I think about you as I'm climbin' up the stairs
Thinking about a past relationship while facing life's challenges.
And I wonder what to do so she won't see that
Contemplating how to hide emotional struggles from the current partner.
Even now when I know it wasn't right
Admitting past mistakes and acknowledging a better life now.
And I've found a better life than what we had
Expressing waking up with emotional pain despite improvements in life.
Even now I wake up cryin' in the middle of the night
Revealing vulnerability and the enduring emotional impact of past relationships.
And I can't believe it still could hurt so bad
Surprised that the pain still lingers and hurts deeply.
Even now when I have come so far
Reflecting on personal growth but questioning the difficulty of moving on.
I wonder where you are, I wonder why it's still so hard without you
Expressing curiosity about the ex-partner's current whereabouts and the lingering emotional challenges.
Even now when I come shining through, I swear I think of you
Acknowledging personal success but still thinking of the past and the ex-partner.
And how I wish you knew, even now
Expressing a desire for the ex-partner to know about the continued thoughts and feelings.
Even now when I never hear your name
Highlighting the absence of the ex-partner's name and the significant changes in the world.
And the world has changed so much since you've been gone
Remembering the past and feeling a persistent emotional connection despite the changes.
Even now I still remember and the feeling's still the same
Expressing enduring pain and the unchanging nature of feelings over time.
And this pain inside of me goes on and on, even now
Conveying the continuation of internal pain despite the passage of time.
Even now when I have come so far
Reiterating personal growth but questioning the difficulty of overcoming emotional challenges.
I wonder where you are
Expressing curiosity about the ex-partner's current status and the ongoing emotional struggles.
I wonder why it's still so hard without you
Questioning why moving on is still challenging without the ex-partner.
Even now when I come shinin' through
Highlighting personal success but still thinking about the past and the ex-partner.
I swear I think of you and God, I wish you knew
Expressing a wish for the ex-partner to understand the continued emotional impact.
Somehow, even now
Concluding with a lingering acknowledgment of the past and its emotional weight.
