Lyrics
Sometimes when I sleep
Sometimes during sleep, the speaker envisions you returning to them.
I can see you walkin' back to me
Imagery of waking up due to a perceived touch, emphasizing a strong emotional connection.
And sometimes I wake up
Reference to feeling emotions that are overwhelming, especially in the darkness.
'Cause I swear that I felt your touch
Expressing a sensation of coldness, possibly metaphorical, linked to the absence of the person.
And emotions overcome me
Mention of lighting a candle, symbolizing hope or a spiritual connection.
And the darkness is so cold
Belief in the presence of angels, creating a comforting atmosphere.
Oh, I light a candle, watch it burn
Expressing the intensity of missing the person and resorting to prayer as a coping mechanism.
I feel the angels come and fill this room
Acknowledging the hopeful feeling of angels filling the space.
Oh baby, when you're gone, I miss you so much
Expressing profound longing and resorting to prayer as a response.
I do the only thing I can do I pray for you
Highlighting the act of praying as the only available action when separated from the person.
Every minute of the day
Continuous awareness of the person's presence even when apart.
I can clearly see your face
The pain caused by the separation is depicted by the clear image of the person's face.
And every minute we're apart
Expressing emotional distress when apart from the person.
Oh, you know it just breaks my heart
Emphasizing the emotional impact of the separation on the speaker's heart.
I'm so lonely but it's okay
Loneliness is acknowledged but accepted as part of the situation.
'Cause I know we'll be together again
Belief in a future reunion, bringing solace despite the current loneliness.
Oh, I light a candle, watch it burn
Repetition of the candle metaphor, reinforcing the theme of hope.
I feel the angels come and fill this room
Continued belief in the presence of angels, providing comfort.
Baby when you're gone, I miss you so much
Reiteration of deep longing during the absence, prompting prayer.
I do the only thing I can do, oh I pray for you
Emphasizing the act of praying as the speaker's response to the separation.
I pray for you
Oh, I light a candle, watch it burn
Continued reliance on the candle metaphor, symbolizing hope and spiritual connection.
I feel the angels come and fill this room
Reaffirmation of the comforting presence of angels.
Oh baby, when you're gone, I miss you so much
Reiteration of the deep emotional impact of the person's absence.
I do the only thing I can do I pray for you
Reemphasizing prayer as the primary response to the longing.
I do the only thing I can do
Underscoring the limited actions available, with prayer being the sole recourse.
Please hold her and protect her
Pleading for the protection of the absent person until their return.
Until she's back here in my arms again
Expressing enduring love and commitment during the separation.
Oh, and tell her, how I love her
Sending a message of love and commitment to the absent person.
And I'll be waiting right here forever
Waiting indefinitely for the person's return, symbolizing unwavering dedication.
Amen
Closing the prayer with "Amen," signifying a hopeful conclusion.
