Soulful Longing: Unveiling the Heartfelt Emotions in Benny Goodman's 'Body and Soul'
Lyrics
My heart is sad and lonely
Expressing sadness and loneliness in the heart.
For you I sigh, for you dear only
Declaring a deep sigh and longing specifically for the person addressed.
Why haven't you seen it
Questioning why the addressed person hasn't noticed the emotional state.
I'm all for you body and soul
Affirming complete dedication, emotionally and physically, to the addressed person.
I spend my days in longing
Describing the speaker's days filled with a sense of yearning.
And wondering why it's me you're wronging
Expressing confusion and pain about why the addressed person is treating the speaker unfairly.
I tell you I mean it
Reiterating the sincerity of the speaker's emotions.
I'm all for you body and soul
Reaffirming the dedication of the speaker, both physically and emotionally.
I can't believe it
Expressing disbelief in the situation.
It's hard to conceive it
Highlighting the difficulty in accepting the current circumstances.
That you'd turn away romance
Expressing surprise that the addressed person would reject romance.
Are you pretending
Possibly questioning the sincerity of the addressed person.
It looks like the ending
Suggesting that it seems like the relationship is coming to an end.
Unless I could have just one more chance to prove, dear
Expressing a desire for another opportunity to prove love.
My life a wreck you're making
Describing the impact on the speaker's life caused by the addressed person.
You know I'm yours for just the taking
Affirming the speaker's availability for the addressed person.
I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul
Expressing a willingness to surrender completely, both physically and emotionally.
My life a wreck you're making
Reiterating the negative impact on the speaker's life by the addressed person.
You know I'm yours for the very taking
Affirming once again the speaker's availability for the addressed person.
I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul
Reiterating the willingness to surrender entirely, both physically and emotionally.
