Unchained Melody
Eternal Longing: Unveiling the Soulful Yearning in Chet Atkins' Unchained Melody
Lyrics
Oh, my love, my darling
Expressing affection and endearment to a loved one.
I've hungered for your touch
Longing for physical contact and closeness with the beloved.
A long, lonely time
Referring to a period of extended isolation and emotional desolation.
And time goes by so slowly
Perception that time seems to pass very slowly in the absence of the loved one.
And time can do so much
Emphasizing the significant impact time can have on emotions and relationships.
Are you still mine?
Possessiveness and questioning if the loved one still belongs to the speaker.
I need your love,
Declaration of a deep need for the love of the mentioned person.
I need your love,
Repetition of the need for love, emphasizing its importance.
God speed your love to me
Wishing and invoking divine assistance for the arrival of the loved one's love.
Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
Metaphorically describing the speaker's loneliness as rivers flowing to the vastness of the sea.
To the open arms of the sea
Describing the sea as a welcoming and open destination for the lonely rivers.
Lonely rivers sigh, wait for me, wait for me
Expressing the yearning of the rivers for the speaker to return.
I'll be coming home, wait for me
Assurance that the speaker will be returning home, asking for patience.
Oh, my love, my darling
Repeating the expression of love and desire for physical closeness.
I've hungered for your touch
Reiterating the intense yearning for the touch of the beloved.
A long, lonely time
Recalling the prolonged period of loneliness and emotional deprivation.
And time goes by so slowly
Repeating the perception that time moves slowly in the absence of the loved one.
And time can do so much
Reiterating the significant impact of time on emotions and relationships.
Are you still mine?
Posing a question about the current status of the romantic connection.
I need your love,
Expressing a strong need for the love of the mentioned person.
I need your love
Repeating the urgency and importance of needing the love of the mentioned person.
God speed your love to me
Repeating the plea for divine assistance in bringing the loved one's love to the speaker.
