Lyrics
One night with you
Expresses a desire for a single night spent together
Is what I'm now praying for
The speaker earnestly hopes for that night
The things that we two could plan
Suggests potential plans and aspirations shared by the speaker and the person addressed
Would make my dreams come true
Indicates that fulfilling these plans would make the speaker's desires and aspirations a reality
Just call my name
The speaker eagerly responds to a call, willing to be present immediately
And I'll be right by your side
Expresses the desire to be physically close to the addressed person
I want your sweet helping hand
Wants the affectionate support and guidance of the person addressed
My loves too strong to hide
Implies that the speaker's love is intense and cannot be concealed
Always lived, very quiet life
Describes the speaker's past as uneventful and law-abiding
I ain't never did no wrong
Asserts the speaker's innocence and lack of wrongdoing
Now I know that life without you
Realization of a life lacking the addressed person, resulting in loneliness
Been too lonely too long
Expresses a deep and enduring sense of loneliness due to the absence of the person
One night with you
Reiterates the desire for a night together
Is what I'm now praying for
Reaffirms the strong wish for that particular night
The things that we two could plan
Revisits the potential plans and shared aspirations
Would make my dreams come true
Reiterates the idea that fulfilling these plans would bring fulfillment to the speaker
Always lived, very quiet life
Repeated description of the speaker's past as uneventful and law-abiding
I ain't never did no wrong
Reaffirms innocence and lack of wrongdoing in the past
Now I know that life without you
Re-emphasizes the feeling of loneliness in the absence of the addressed person
Has been too lonely too long
Restates the enduring loneliness experienced without the person
One night with you
Restates the desire for a night spent together
Is what I'm now praying for
Reiterates the strong hope for that specific night
The things that we two could plan
Recalls the potential plans and shared aspirations
Would make my dreams come true
Reaffirms the idea that fulfilling these plans would bring the speaker's desires to fruition
