Forty Shades of Green
Embracing the Shades of Life: A Reflective Journey in Daniel O'Donnell's Melody
Lyrics
Don't look so sad, I know it's over.
Recognizing the end of something, acknowledging sadness
But life goes on, and this old world will keep on turning.
Life continues despite the ending, the world keeps moving forward
Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together.
Being grateful for the time spent together
There's no need to watch the bridges that we're burning.
No need to dwell on the consequences of decisions made
Lay your head on my pillow.
Seeking comfort and closeness in a relationship
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine.
Desiring physical closeness and intimacy
Hear the whisper of the raindrops,
Noticing the subtle sounds of nature
Blowin' soft against the window,
Imagining the gentle rain against the window
And make believe you love me one more time,
Longing for a reaffirmation of love, despite the circumstances
For the good times.
Yearning for the return of happier moments
I'll get along; you'll find another,
Accepting moving on and hoping the other person finds happiness
And I'll be here if you should find you ever need me.
Offering support if needed in the future
Don't say a word about tomorrow or forever,
Avoiding discussions about the uncertain future
There'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me.
Suggesting that there's time for sadness later
Lay your head upon my pillow,
Repeating the desire for closeness and comfort
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine.
Reiterating the need for physical proximity
Hear the whisper of the raindrops,
Noticing the calming effect of rain against the window
Blowin' soft against the window,
Imagining the gentle rain against the window once more
And make believe you love me one more time,
Yearning for one last illusion of love, clinging to past joy
For the good times.
Wishing for a final moment of happiness
