Martha My Dear
Timeless Love and Reflections: Martha, My Dear by Chris Proctor
Lyrics
Martha, my dear
Expressing affection and addressing someone named Martha.
Though I spend my days in conversation, please
Despite engaging in conversation, a plea to be remembered.
Remember me
A direct request for remembrance.
Martha, my love
Reiteration of love and addressing the person as "Martha, my love."
Don't forget me
An emphatic reminder not to be forgotten.
Martha, my dear
Reaffirming affection with "Martha, my dear."
Hold your head up, you silly girl
Advising Martha to hold her head up despite challenges.
Look what you've done
Acknowledging a mistake or action with a sense of regret.
When you find yourself in the thick of it
Guidance in difficult situations, suggesting self-help.
Help yourself to a bit of what is all around you
Encouraging the act of taking advantage of available opportunities.
Silly girl
Reiteration of the term "silly girl" in a possibly affectionate or teasing manner.
Take a good look around you
Encouraging observation of surroundings.
Take a good look you're bound to see
Emphasizing the importance of perception and understanding.
That you and me were meant to be
Expressing a sense of destiny or meant-to-be connection between the speaker and Martha.
With each other
Affirming a special connection between "you and me."
Silly girl
Reiteration of the term "silly girl."
Hold you're hand out, you silly girl
Advising Martha to reach out, possibly for support or connection.
See what you've done
Reflecting on consequences and acknowledging actions.
When you find yourself in the thick of it
Repetition of guidance in difficult situations, emphasizing self-help.
Help yourself to a bit of what is all around you
Encouraging utilization of available resources.
Silly girl
Reiteration of the term "silly girl."
Martha, my dear
Addressing Martha again with affection.
You have always been my inspiration
Acknowledging Martha as a source of inspiration.
Please, be good to me
A plea for kindness from Martha.
Martha, my love
Reiteration of love and a reminder not to be forgotten.
Don't forget me
An emphatic plea to remember.
Martha, my dear.
Closing expression of affection and addressing Martha as "my dear."
