Let's Take All Night
Nightfall of Farewells: Unraveling the Emotion in Barry Manilow's Melody
Lyrics
Two A.M
It's 2 A.M.
Two of us
There are two of us present.
Come sunrise I'm leavin'
By sunrise, the speaker plans to leave.
You know I must
Leaving is a necessary action.
I can't bear the heartache
The speaker can't handle the pain reflected in the other person's eyes.
That's in your eyes
There is visible heartache in the other person's eyes.
So let's take all night to say goodbye
They propose taking the entire night to bid farewell.
You know I want to stay
The speaker wishes to stay longer.
How I want to stay
Expressing a strong desire to stay.
Let's take all night to say goodbye
They want to make the goodbye prolonged and memorable.
'cause goodbye is hard to say
Parting is difficult to articulate.
Oh so hard to say
Highlighting the challenge of saying goodbye.
So let's take all night
Reiterating the idea of taking the entire night for farewell.
Smile for me
Requesting a smile from the other person.
Why don't we
Suggesting making the departure a sweet memory.
Make this the sweetest of memories
Encouraging a positive and sweet farewell.
The love that we make now
The love shared at that moment is all they have.
Is all we have
Emphasizing the importance of the present love.
So let's take all night to say goodbye
Repeating the idea of a prolonged goodbye.
You know I want to stay
Expressing the desire to stay longer.
How I want to stay
Reiterating the strong wish to stay.
Let's take all night to say goodbye
Advocating for a prolonged and meaningful goodbye.
'cause goodbye is hard to say
Stating that saying goodbye is challenging.
Oh so hard to say
Emphasizing the difficulty of parting.
Let's take each moment
Suggesting savoring each moment and desire.
And every desire
Encouraging to enjoy the present desires.
You make the coffee
Assigning tasks, making coffee, and lighting the fire for a prolonged farewell.
And I'll light the fire
Sharing responsibilities for a cozy farewell.
And will take all night to say goodbye
Reiterating the idea of taking the entire night to say goodbye.
You know I want to stay
Expressing the desire to stay beyond the current moment.
How I want to stay
Repeating the strong wish to extend their stay.
Let's take all night to say goodbye
Advocating for a prolonged and meaningful goodbye.
'cause goodbye is hard to say
Stating that saying goodbye is challenging.
Oh so hard to say
Emphasizing the difficulty of parting.
