Soulful Longing: Unveiling the Heartfelt Emotions in 'Body and Soul' by Bert Kaempfert
Lyrics
My heart is sad and lonely
Expressing sadness and loneliness in the heart.
For you I sigh, for you dear only
Expressing a deep sigh and longing exclusively for the person addressed.
Why haven't you seen it
Questioning why the addressed person hasn't noticed the speaker's feelings.
I'm all for you body and soul
Declaring complete dedication and commitment, both physically and emotionally.
I spend my days in longing
Spending days in a state of yearning.
And wondering why it's me you're wronging
Wondering about the reasons for feeling wronged by the addressed person.
I tell you I mean it
Emphasizing sincerity and truthfulness in the speaker's emotions.
I'm all for you body and soul
Reiterating complete dedication and commitment, both physically and emotionally.
I can't believe it
Expressing disbelief in the current situation.
It's hard to conceive it
Highlighting the difficulty in accepting the current circumstances.
That you'd turn away romance
Expressing surprise or disappointment at the rejection of romance.
Are you pretending
Posing a question about whether the addressed person is pretending.
It looks like the ending
Suggesting that the situation appears to be approaching an end.
Unless I could have just one more chance to prove, dear
Desiring one more chance to prove the depth of feelings.
My life a wreck you're making
Describing the impact of the current situation on the speaker's life.
You know I'm yours for just the taking
Affirming availability and willingness to be taken by 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 due to the situation.
You know I'm yours for the very taking
Affirming availability and expressing eagerness to be taken by the addressed person.
I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul
Expressing a renewed willingness to surrender completely, both physically and emotionally.
