It Won't Be Long
Longing Nights: Embracing the Promise of Love
Lyrics
It won't be long yeah, yeah, yeah
Expressing anticipation that a positive change is approaching soon.
It won't be long yeah, yeah, yeah
Reiteration of the expectation that the awaited positive change is imminent.
It won't be long yeah, till I belong to you
Confidently predicting that the wait for a positive outcome will be short-lived.
Every night when everybody has fun
Observing others having fun, possibly feeling left out or lonely.
Here am I sitting all on my own
Feeling isolated and solitary while others are enjoying themselves.
It won't be long yeah, yeah, yeah
Repeating the expectation of a forthcoming positive change with enthusiasm.
It won't be long yeah, yeah, yeah
Reiteration, emphasizing the confidence in the proximity of the positive change.
It won't be long yeah, till I belong to you
Confidently asserting that the wait for a positive outcome is almost over.
Since you left me, I'm so alone
Expressing loneliness and solitude since the departure of a significant other.
Now you're coming, you're coming on home
Acknowledging the return of the person who left, generating hope and excitement.
I'll be good like I know I should
Committing to behaving well, possibly in an effort to mend the relationship.
You're coming home, you're coming home
Reiterating the joy and anticipation of the person's return home.
Every night the tears come down from my eyes
Describing emotional pain through the metaphor of tears coming down.
Every day I've done nothing but cry
Expressing a continuous state of sadness and crying throughout each day.
It won't be long yeah, yeah, yeah
Reaffirming the belief that the awaited positive change is approaching soon.
It won't be long yeah, yeah, yeah

It won't be long yeah, till I belong to you

Since you left me, I'm so alone

Now you're coming, you're coming on home
