Never Let Me Go
Eternal Love's Embrace: Never Let Me Go by Dinah Washington
Lyrics
Never let me go
Expression of pleading to never be abandoned or let go emotionally.
Love me much too much
Desire for an intense and overwhelming love.
If you let me go
Suggests that life would lose its significance or joy if the person is allowed to leave.
Life would lose its touch
Life would become mundane or less meaningful without the presence of the person.
What would I be without you?
Questioning identity or existence without the person, implying a deep reliance on them.
There's no place for me without you
Feeling that there's no purpose or belonging without the person in one's life.
Never let me go
Reiteration of the plea to never be abandoned.
I'd be so lost if you went away
Expressing feeling lost and incomplete if the person were to leave.
There'd be a thousand hours in the day
Highlighting the overwhelming emptiness that would result from the person's absence.
Without you I know
Acknowledging the deep emotional reliance and dependence on the person.
Because of one caress my world was overturned
A singular touch or gesture from the person significantly impacted the singer's life.
At the very start, all my bridges burned
Refers to a significant turning point where past connections were severed.
By my flaming heart you'd never leave me, would you?
Expresses doubt about the possibility of being abandoned by the person.
You couldn't hurt me, could you?
Questioning the likelihood of the person causing emotional pain.
Never let me go
Reiterating the plea for the person to stay and not leave.
Never let me go
Emphasizing the urgency and importance of not being abandoned.
Never let me go
Repetition of the plea, reinforcing the strong desire for the person's presence.
I'd be so lost if you went away
Restating the feeling of being lost without the person, underlining the dependence.
There'd be a thousand hours in the day
Highlighting the immense amount of time that would feel empty without the person.
Without you I know
Reaffirming the sense of incompleteness or emptiness without the person.
Because of one caress my world was overturned
Recalling how a single touch altered the singer's entire world.
At the very start all my bridges burned
Reflecting on a past moment when all connections were severed due to strong emotions.
By my flaming heart you'd never leave me, would you?
Expressing doubt about the person leaving, seeking reassurance.
You couldn't hurt me, could you?
Questioning whether the person is capable of causing emotional pain.
Never let me go
Repetition of the plea to never be abandoned, emphasizing the importance of the person.
Never let me go
Final plea to maintain the emotional connection and not leave.
