Night After Night
Eternal Yearning: Night After Night with Ben Ransom
Lyrics
Here in the darkness, you're achingly still on my mind
Feeling the lingering presence of someone in the darkness of the mind.
While I'm wishing these hours and minutes would just pass me by
Expressing a desire for time to pass quickly, possibly to overcome a difficult situation.
Slave to emotion and slave to all I desire
Acknowledging being controlled by emotions and desires.
I'm eternally thinking about you night after night
Constantly thinking about someone throughout eternity.
Night after night I'm wishing these hours away
Repetition of the desire for time to pass quickly, possibly due to longing.
Night after night I'll be hoping I'm never too late
Expressing hope that there is still time to achieve or experience something.
Being here with me is only a matter of time
Believing that being together is inevitable and just a matter of time.
So I'll keep on thinking about you, night after night
Continuing to think about the person persistently.
We met by the beach with your yellow hibiscus sarong
Recalling a specific meeting by the beach with vivid details.
And some bad Los Cabos mariachi band playing our song
Remembering a moment with a mariachi band playing a significant song.
Six margaritas were saying that I got it right
Implying that the speaker made the right impression, possibly in the context of a romantic encounter.
While we kept the stars company dancing on in to the night
Describing a pleasant moment with someone under the stars.
Night after night I'm wishing these hours away
Reiteration of the desire for time to pass quickly, suggesting impatience.
Night after night I'll be hoping I'm never too late
Reiterating hopefulness about not missing an opportunity.
Being here with me is only a matter of time
Emphasizing the inevitability of being together as a matter of time.
So si si Seniorita, I'm missing you, night after night
Expressing longing and missing someone persistently.
Night after night I'm wishing these hours away
Repetition of the desire for time to pass quickly, underscoring a sense of yearning.
Night after night I'll be hoping I'm never too late
Reiterating hopefulness about not being too late in a situation.
Being here with me is only a matter of time
Affirming the belief that being together is a matter of time.
So until then you still keep on crashing my dreams
Despite the separation, the person continues to influence dreams and thoughts.
While real life can just fall apart at the seams
Expressing a sense of waiting and commitment despite life's challenges.
Cause I'll still be waiting right here for you night after night
Waiting for the person even when reality seems to be falling apart.
Night...after night....I'll be waiting, night after night
Repetition emphasizing the persistence of waiting night after night.
Night...after night....I'll be waiting, night after night
Continued emphasis on waiting for the person persistently night after night.
