It's You or No One
Eternal Flames: Discovering True Love in Chet Baker's Melody
Lyrics
How did I know that the warmth of the glow would last.
Contemplating the lasting warmth of a positive experience.
How did I guess that the long loneliness was past.
Sensing that a period of loneliness has come to an end.
I merely looked at you and I knew that I knew.
Recognizing a profound understanding just by looking at the person.
It's you or no one for me
Expressing a commitment to choosing one specific person, "you" over everyone else.
I'm sure of this each time we kiss
Confidence in the exclusivity of the connection, affirmed with each kiss.
Now and forever and when forever's done
Commitment to the relationship in the present and beyond, even after forever ends.
You'll find that you are still the one
Belief that the chosen person remains the one, enduring through time.
Please don't say no to my plea
Pleading for a positive response to ensure the continuation of the relationship.
'Cause if you do then I'm all through
Expressing vulnerability and dependence on the other person's response.
There's this about you
Highlighting a distinctive quality about the person being addressed.
My world's an empty world without you
Describing a sense of emptiness in the world without the person.
It's you or no one for me
Reiteration of the exclusive choice, emphasizing the importance of the addressed person.
Please don't say no to my plea
Repeating the plea for a positive response to sustain the relationship.
'Cause if you do then I'm all through
Reiterating the emotional consequences if the plea is rejected.
There's this about you
Reaffirming the unique quality of the addressed person.
My world's an empty world without you
Reiterating the feeling of emptiness without the person in one's world.
It's you or no one for me
Emphasizing once again the exclusive choice of the addressed person.
For me
Concluding that the addressed person is the only choice.
