I Will Think of You
In Solitude, I'll Remember You: A Melodic Embrace in Loneliness
Lyrics
When your feelin' sad and lonely
Expressing empathy for someone feeling sad and lonely.
Think of me
Encouraging the listener to think of the singer during difficult times.
When you need a friend to lean on
Offering support as a friend to lean on when needed.
Lean on me
Reiterating the availability for emotional support, suggesting reliance.
When the world outside is darkest
Describing a challenging external environment or emotional state.
And the sky is no longer blue
Emphasizing a difficult period when everything seems gloomy.
Just remember when the day is done
Highlighting the importance of remembering the singer during tough times.
I will think of you.
Reassurance that the singer will keep the listener in their thoughts.
He said I wish that I could be there
Expressing a desire to be physically present for the listener.
I wish that too
Reaffirming the wish to be together.
If only we could spend the time
Expressing a longing for shared time as in the past.
The way we used to do
Reflecting on the nostalgia of past shared experiences.
But the time that once belonged to us
Noting the change in priorities as time has passed.
Now belongs to others too
Acknowledging the presence of others in the singer's life now.
But remember though I'm far away
Despite physical distance, assuring that thoughts are still with the listener.
I will think of you.
Reiterating the commitment to keeping the listener in mind despite the separation.
Then late at night when I'm alone
Describing moments of reflection during solitary times.
The thoughts they always take me home
Expressing how thoughts bring the singer back mentally to a familiar place.
When I think of the way it used to be
Nostalgia for past experiences and the way things used to be.
And the places, God, it won't be long
Anticipation of returning to familiar places in the future.
Till I'm back where I belong
Hope for a soon-to-come reunion and return to a sense of belonging.
But until that moment, lovers think of me.
Until physically returning, a request for lovers to keep the singer in their thoughts.
So when your feelin' sad and lonely
Repeating the theme of being there for the listener in sad and lonely moments.
Think of me
Reemphasizing the encouragement to think of the singer during tough times.
When you need a friend to lean on
Reaffirming the availability for emotional support, with an added invitation to lean on the singer.
You can lean on me
Explicitly stating the willingness to be leaned on as a friend.
When the world outside is darkest
Describing a challenging external environment or emotional state, echoing earlier sentiments.
And the sky is no longer blue
Reiterating the difficulty of the current situation, with a reference to the sky losing its color.
Just remember when the day is done
Reminding the listener to remember the singer at the end of the day.
I will think of you...
Repeating the assurance that the singer will think of the listener.
