I Concentrate on You
Love's Resilience: Finding Solace in 'I Concentrate on You'
Lyrics
Whenever skies look grey to me
Feeling down or troubled when the sky is overcast.
And trouble begins to brew
Facing difficulties or challenges.
Whenever the winter winds
Referring to the cold and harsh winter winds.
Begin to blow
When facing adversity or challenges.
I concentrate on you
Choosing to focus thoughts and emotions on the person being addressed (you).
When fortune cries nay, nay to me
When luck is not on one's side.
And people declare "you're through"
Others expressing doubt or negativity about one's prospects.
Whenever the blues becomes my only song
When feeling sad or depressed, and the blues become the dominant emotion.
I concentrate on you
Choosing to focus thoughts and emotions on the person being addressed (you).
On your smile to sweet so tender
Finding solace and happiness in the sweetness of the person's smile.
When first my kiss you deny
Recalling a moment when the person initially refused a kiss.
On the love in your eyes
Focusing on the love expressed in the person's eyes.
When you surrender
When the person surrenders to love and intimacy.
And once again our arms intertwine
Describing the physical closeness and connection when embracing.
And so when wise men say to me
When receiving advice that romantic dreams may not come true.
That loves young dreams never come true
Challenging the notion that love's dreams won't come true by concentrating on the person.
To prove that even wise men can be wrong
Asserting that even wise individuals can be mistaken, emphasizing the focus on the person.
I concentrate on you
Choosing to concentrate thoughts and emotions on the person, regardless of others' opinions.
