Cryin' Time
Emotional Farewell: Unveiling the Bittersweet Story Behind 'Cryin' Time'
Lyrics
Oh, it's crying time again, you're gonna leave me
Expresses the recurrence of emotional pain as the speaker's partner is about to leave again.
I can see that far away look in your eyes
The speaker notices a distant, preoccupied expression in their partner's eyes, indicating impending departure.
I can tell by the way you hold me darling Oooh
The way the partner holds the speaker suggests a sense of emotional detachment or disconnection.
That it won't be long before it's crying time
Anticipates that the moment of emotional distress is approaching.
Now they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder (fonder)
Refers to the common saying that being apart from a loved one intensifies feelings of affection.
And that tears are only rain to make love grow
Suggests that the tears shed during separation serve to nurture and strengthen the bond of love.
Well my love for you could never grow no stronger (stronger)
Despite the belief in growing affection through distance, the speaker feels their love couldn't become stronger.
If I lived to be a hundred years old
Asserts that even if the speaker lived a long life, their love wouldn't deepen further.
Oh, it's crying time again, you're gonna leave me
Reiterates the impending departure and the emotional pain it brings.
I can see that far away look in your eyes
Observes the same distant expression in the partner's eyes as mentioned earlier.
I can tell by the way you hold me darling. Yeah now
The way the partner holds the speaker again implies a sense of detachment or emotional distance.
That it won't be long before it's crying time
Reaffirms the expectation of forthcoming emotional distress due to separation.
Now you say you've found someone that you love better (better)
Indicates that the partner claims to have found someone else they love more.
That's the way it's happened every time before
Reflects a pattern where the partner always finds someone new before leaving.
And as sure as the sun comes up tomorrow ('morrow)
Asserts the inevitability of the emotional pain recurring upon the partner's departure, akin to the certainty of the sunrise.
Crying time will start when you walk out the door
Emphasizes that each time the partner exits, it initiates a period of crying and emotional distress.
Oh, it's crying time again, you're gonna leave me
Repeats the anticipation of the impending departure and the emotional turmoil it will cause.
I can see that far away look in your eyes
Describes the familiar distant look in the partner's eyes as an indicator of leaving.
I can tell by the way you hold me darling. Alright now
The partner's manner of holding the speaker reinforces the sense of impending separation.
That it won't be long before it's crying time
Reiterates the expectation that the time for emotional distress due to departure is approaching.
That it won't be long before it's crying time
