You're Still My Lady
Eternal Longing: Bles Bridges' Emotionally Charged 'You're Still My Lady' Meaning
Lyrics
Forgive me
Expressing a need for forgiveness
Oh, won't you try not to forget me
Pleading not to be forgotten
I will love you if you let me
Commitment to love if given the chance
And I will hold you close to me
Desire to remain emotionally close
You left me
Addressing the departure of a loved one
You said that you regret me
Acknowledging regret expressed by the partner
Couldn't ever make it through the stormy sea
Admitting difficulty navigating challenges
But I could never set you free
Unwillingness to let go despite difficulties
In my dreams you're still my lady
Expressing an idealized vision in dreams
You still share my life
Insisting on the enduring connection
The thought of you still drives me crazy
Emotional turmoil caused by thoughts of the partner
How can you leave, I won't survive
Fear of not surviving without the partner
You will always be my baby
Affirming a lasting bond and endearment
If you'd share my life
Requesting the partner to share life
Losing you will drive me crazy
Anticipating distress if the partner is lost
And if you leave I won't survive
Fear of not surviving without the partner
I hurt you
Admitting to causing hurt
I said things I never meant to
Expressing regret for words spoken in error
I never thought that I could lose you
Realization of the possibility of losing the partner
That you would walk away from me
Shock at the partner walking away
Forgive me
Repeating a plea for forgiveness
Oh, won't you try not to forget me
Reiterating a desire not to be forgotten
I will love you if you let me
Reaffirming a commitment to love if allowed
But I could never set you free
Continued unwillingness to let go
In my dreams you're still my lady
Revisiting an idealized vision in dreams
You still share my life
Emphasizing the enduring connection
The thought of you still drives me crazy
Continued emotional turmoil from thoughts of the partner
How can you leave, I won't survive
Fear of not surviving without the partner
You will always be my baby
Affirming a lasting bond and endearment
If you'd share my life
Requesting the partner to share life
Losing you will drive me crazy
Anticipating distress if the partner is lost
And if you leave I won't survive
Fear of not surviving without the partner
Without your love I won't survive
Highlighting the essential nature of the partner's love for survival
