With Body and Soul
Eternal Love's Farewell: Body and Soul
Lyrics
See that train coming round the bend
Observing a train approaching around the curve
Carrying the one that I love
The train carries the speaker's beloved
Her beautiful body is still here on earth
Her physical body remains on earth
But her soul has been called up above
Her soul has departed to heaven
Body and soul, body and soul
Expressing the profound connection between them - physically and spiritually
That's how she loved me, with body and soul
Describing her way of loving intensely, encompassing body and soul
Her beautiful hair was the purest of gold
Her hair was exceptionally pure and golden in color
Her eyes were as blue as the sea
Her eyes resembled the deep blue of the sea
Her lips were the color of summer's red rose
Her lips had the vivid hue of a red rose in summer
And she promised she would always love me
She made a promise of eternal love
Body and soul, body and soul
Reiterating the intensity of their love, involving both body and soul
That's how she loved me, with body and soul
Reaffirming the depth of her love encompassing all of the speaker
Tomorrow as the sun sinks low
Anticipating the next day's sunset as a metaphor for the end of her life
The shadows will cover her face
Shadows will conceal her visage as she passes away
Her last sun goes down, she's laid beneath the ground
Her final sunset symbolizes her burial; she'll be laid to rest
And my teardrops are fallin' like rain
The speaker is deeply grieving, shedding tears like rain
Body and soul, body and soul
Emphasizing the depth of her love, encompassing his entire being
That's how she loved me, with body and soul
Reiterating her way of loving, involving both body and soul
That's how she loved me, with body and soul
Reiterating the intensity and depth of her love, encompassing body and soul
