Electric Love: Unforgettable Moments We Shared
Lyrics
Into my life on waves of electrical sound
Introduction of a significant presence entering the speaker's life through technology and sensory experiences.
And flashing light she came,
Describing the arrival of this presence with vivid imagery of flashing lights.
Into my life with a twist of a dial
Highlighting the involvement of technology, possibly radio or television, in bringing this person into the speaker's life.
The wave of her hand--the warmth of her smile.
Emphasizing the personal connection with gestures (wave of hand) and expressions (warmth of smile).
And even though I know that you and I
Acknowledging the impracticality of finding the desired love together with the mentioned person.
Could never find the kind of love we wanted together,
Expressing a sense of longing and missing the connection despite the acknowledged impossibility.
Alone I find myself missing you and I, you and I.
Repetition of missing the person, emphasizing the emotional impact of being alone.
It's not very often that something special happens
Reflecting on the rarity of special moments, with the person being the special occurrence for the speaker.
And you happen to be that something special for me.
Expressing a personal connection with the mentioned person and the significance of that connection.
And walking on grass where we rolled and laughed in the moonlight
Recalling a shared experience of joy and laughter, possibly indicating a past romantic involvement.
I find myself thinking of you and I, you and I, you.
Reiterating the sense of missing the person, emphasizing the emotional impact of solitude.
Into my eye comes visions of patterns
Describing visual experiences related to the person, possibly memories or fantasies.
Designs the image of her I see.
Highlighting the mental imagery and patterns associated with the person.
Into my mind the smell of her hair,
Evoking sensory memories of the person through the smell of her hair and the sound of her voice.
The sound of her voice--we once were there.
Acknowledging a shared past with the person.
And even though I know that you and I
Repeating the acknowledgment of the impossibility of finding the desired love together.
Could never find the kind of love we wanted toghther,
Expressing the ongoing emotional impact of missing the person even when alone.
Alone, I find myself missing
Repetition of the theme of missing the person.
You and I,
Repeating the expression of missing the person, emphasizing the individuality of both "You" and "I".
You and I,
Reiteration of the emotional connection with the person, emphasizing individual identities.
You.
Final line, possibly indicating the end of the narrative or an enduring sentiment of longing.
