Lyrics
You would've been proud of me
You would've been pleased with my actions or achievements
I did everything you asked
I completed all the tasks or requests you made
It was a wonderful party
The event or gathering was enjoyable
There were tears, there was laughter
The occasion had both moments of sorrow and joy
And after I got home
After returning home
I got the lights just right and I put that record on
I adjusted the lighting perfectly and played our favorite music
And danced to our favorite song
I danced to the song that holds significance for us
So long live the old days
May the past be cherished
Your kiss in the doorway
Remembering your affection at the entrance
You're close to me always, close to me always
Your presence remains with me constantly
Gone is the old pain
The previous hurt or pain is no longer present
You're on to the next place
You've moved on to another place or state
Your love fills this whole space
Your love fills the entirety of this space or void
Stay close to me, baby, close to me always
Stay intimately connected to me always
Sometimes I can't leave our bed in the morning when I wake
At times, I struggle to leave our shared bed in the morning
To fix my own cup of coffee
To make my own coffee, a task you used to do
All these years you would make it
You had the habit of making coffee for years
It's like I'm waiting for you to come home
It feels like I'm anticipating your return
I shut the blinds so tight and I put that record on
I close the blinds tightly and play our cherished music
And dance to our favorite song
I dance again to our meaningful song
So long live the old days
May the memories of the past endure
Your kiss in the doorway
Recalling your affectionate gesture at the door
You're close to me always, close to me always
Your presence remains constantly with me
Gone is the old pain
The previous pain or hurt has disappeared
You're on to the next place
You've transitioned to a different place or state
Your love fills this whole space
Your love fills up the entirety of this space
Stay close to me, baby, close to me always
Remain intimately connected to me always
Yeah, they say the good Lord laughs when we make plans
Unexpected events happen despite our plans
So, baby, here's to us for loving when we had the chance
Celebrating our love while we had the opportunity
So long live the old days
May the memories of the past endure
Your kiss in the doorway
Recalling your affectionate gesture at the door
You're close to me always, close to me always
Your presence remains constantly with me
Gone is the old pain (gone)
The previous pain or hurt has disappeared
You're on to the next place (you're gone)
You've transitioned to a different place or state
Your love fills this whole space (you fill it up)
Your love fills up the entirety of this space
Stay close to me, baby, close to me always
Remain intimately connected to me always
You would've been so proud of me
You would've been very pleased or proud of my actions
