You're a Part of Me
Eternal Longing: Love's Melody in 'You're a Part of Me'
Lyrics
I'd like to live out all my dreams and if I could
I have aspirations to fulfill my dreams, given the opportunity.
Yes, if I could, the nicest one would be with you
The most pleasant dream involves being with you.
And you'd be here with me, don't you ever get lonely?
Expressing a desire for the person to be present and questioning if they feel lonely.
Lord, I'm no good when you're away
Feeling inadequate or incomplete when the person is not around.
What do expect from a girl, who loves you, like I love you?
Pondering what to expect from someone who loves deeply, like the singer does.
Won't you ever just get tired and come on home to me?
Longing for the person to return home and be with the singer.
Don't you ever get lonely?
Reiterating the question about feeling lonely in the absence of the person.
You're a part of me that I can't do without
Emphasizing the integral role the person plays in the singer's life.
You're a part of me, what dreams are all about
Highlighting that dreams revolve around the presence of the person.
But you can't hold onto somethin' that you never had before
Acknowledging the difficulty of holding onto something that was never possessed.
Love waits for the wind to bring you back again
Suggesting that love is patient, waiting for the person to return.
And take me away, take me away
Expressing a desire to be taken away by the wind when the person returns.
Friends say it's great now, you're a star
Commenting on the fame the person has achieved.
But what did they expect from a girl, who loved you just the way you were?
Reminding others that the singer loved the person as they were, without expectations.
And late at night, how I wish things had never changed
Reflecting on the nostalgia and wishing things hadn't changed.
When you were here with me, don't you ever get lonely?
Reiterating the question about feeling lonely when the person is not present.
You're a part of me that I can't do without
Reemphasizing the indispensable role of the person in the singer's life.
You're a part of me, what dreams are all about
Stating that dreams are centered around the person's presence.
But you can't hold onto somethin' that you never had before

Love waits for the wind to bring you back again
Reaffirming the patience of love, waiting for the person's return.
And take me away, take me away
Expressing a desire to be taken away by the wind when the person returns.
You're a part of me that I can't do without
Restating the vital connection the person has in the singer's life.
You're a part of me, what dreams are all about
