You're Something New
Eternal Love Revealed: 'You're Something New' by Carole King
Lyrics
When I left the world behind me
Leaving the past or worldly concerns behind.
Retreating through the past
Reflecting on and moving through personal history.
You reached out to find me
Someone reaching out to offer support or connection.
And brought me back at last
Being brought back or rescued, finding comfort.
You've shown me something
Learning or experiencing something new and profound.
Beyond my looking glass
Discovering something beyond one's usual understanding.
Now loce's in my reflection
Love becoming a part of the self, visible in reflection.
In the shadow that you cast on me, and you
Feeling the impact of someone's presence and influence.
You're something new
Expressing that the person is a new and positive presence.
You're something new
Reiteration of the idea that the person is something fresh.
Under the sun
Describing the person as a new and positive force under the sun.
Under the moon,
Highlighting the person's significance under both day and night.
You're the light of creation
Portraying the person as a source of inspiration and creation.
And I knew
A realization of the profound impact of the person.
That I'd come to love you
Acknowledging the development of love towards the person.
Life seemed oh so temporary
Viewing life as fleeting and transient.
A case of "here and gone"
Life being perceived as short-lived and uncertain.
And I survived just barely
Surviving with difficulty until the arrival of someone significant.
Until you came along
Expressing the transformative effect of the person's arrival.
But now each day I'm given
Grateful for each additional day, given by the presence of the person.
Is one more day I know
Recognizing the value of time with the beloved.
A love that's so unselfish
Describing love as selfless and gratifying.
It's a pleasure just to show my love to you
Finding joy in expressing love towards the person.
You're something new
Reiterating the idea that the person is something new and special.
You're something new
Continuing to emphasize the uniqueness of the person.
Under the sun
Repeating the positive qualities of the person under both day and night.
Under the moon
You're the light of creation
Affirming that the person is a significant and illuminating force in creation.
