Think of Me
Lonely Remembrances: Dwight Yoakam's Heartfelt Reflections
Lyrics
Think of me when you're lonely
Encouraging the listener to think about the singer when feeling lonely.
Think of me when you're blue
Similar to line 1, urging the listener to remember the singer in times of sadness (blue).
Think of me when you're far away
Asking the listener to think of the singer when physically distant.
And I'll be thinking of you
Expressing the singer's commitment to thinking about the listener.
Remember all of the good times
Encouraging the listener to recall the positive experiences shared in the past.
We had in days gone by
Reflecting on good times from days gone by.
Remember all of the sadness
Acknowledging and remembering the sadness experienced during the farewell.
The day you said goodbye
Recalling the day when the listener said goodbye.
You told me you would be leavin'
Acknowledging the listener's promise to leave but not for an extended period.
But you wouldn't be gone too long
Expressing hope and prayers for the listener's return each day.
Now I hope and pray with each new day
Expressing a desire for the listener to come back home.
That you'll come a-travelin' home
Expressing hope for the listener's safe travels back home.
Think of me when you're lonely
Reiterating the request to think of the singer when feeling lonely.
Think of me when you're blue
Reiterating the request to think of the singer when feeling sad.
Think of me when you're far away
Reiterating the request to think of the singer when physically distant.
And I'll be thinking of you
Reaffirming the singer's commitment to thinking about the listener.
I watch the mailman comin'
Describing the singer's anticipation while waiting for communication from the listener.
I wait by the telephone
Expressing the singer's readiness and anticipation for the listener's call.
I meet the trains down at the station
Highlighting the singer's active waiting at the station for the listener's return.
And I spend my nights alone
Emphasizing the singer's solitude during the nights while waiting for the listener.
But now the waitin' is over
Indicating that the waiting period is now over.
And Time has set the scene
Noting the passage of time and its impact on the situation.
'Cos God meant me for only you
Expressing a belief that a higher power has destined the singer and listener for each other.
And he meant you for me
Affirming the reciprocal nature of the connection between the singer and the listener.
Think of me when you're lonely

And I'll be thinking of you
