Eternal Longing: A Melodic Journey Through Love's Timeless Echo
Lyrics
I stare at the sand spilling down into the cold, lonely hourglass
I am gazing at the sand falling into the cold and lonely hourglass.
Endless it flows down, as the glass turns ‘round, and the hours begin to pass
The flow of sand seems endless, circulating in the glass, marking the passage of hours.
Oh that time would turn back, and the sand's fall reverse
Expressing a desire for time to reverse, wanting the sand to ascend and regain what was lost over the years.
To reclaim what I lost as the years slipped away
Reflecting on losses incurred as time slipped away over the years.
Midway down the slope, where our eyes first met, and the cherry blossoms dance
Describing a location midway down a slope where the speaker and someone else first made eye contact, with cherry blossoms in the air.
I can feel the sun radiating warmth almost as if you’re holding me
Feeling the warmth of the sun, almost as if being embraced by the person from the past.
But a cloud passes by, and I’m left reminiscing
A cloud passing by triggers memories, leading to a nostalgic reflection.
I wish I could still feel your warm, tender hand in mine
Expressing a desire to still feel the warmth of the other person's hand in the speaker's own.
It is only you, it’s always been you
A declaration that the speaker's love is solely for the person mentioned.
That I love with all my heart
Emphasizing deep and unconditional love for the mentioned person.
As wind rushes by, my eyes fill with tears
Feeling emotional as the wind rushes by, causing tears to fill the speaker's eyes.
As they fall, you drift away
Expressing a sense of loss and separation as tears fall and the person drifts away.
Post-Chorus:
(Post-Chorus)
I will not ever forget about her
Commitment to never forget the person mentioned.
No matter how much changes around me
Regardless of external changes, the speaker pledges to remember the mentioned person.
She is the one thing, one thing that I love
Emphasizing that the person mentioned is the one and only love of the speaker.
Final fulfillment of our sacred vows
Referring to the fulfillment of sacred vows made with the mentioned person.
Even if she is just ordinary, I will show you the light of her glory
Promising to showcase the brilliance of the ordinary person and protect and cherish them for life.
I will protect her; cherish her for life; she will be waiting for you.
Assuring that the mentioned person will be patiently waiting for someone.
