Red Red Rose
Love Blossoms in the Heart's Garden
Lyrics
You may wonder if you know me
You may question whether you are familiar with who I am.
You may wonder if I care
You may question whether I have concern or affection.
Or if I'll leave you sad and lonely
Wondering if I will cause you sadness and loneliness.
Or if I'll always be right there
Wondering if I will always be by your side.
Well there's no need for doubt now darlin'
No need for doubt because I've come to understand.
'Cause I have come to know
Expressing a realization about our love.
This love of ours is no common flower
Describing the uniqueness of our love, not ordinary.
You know this love is like a red, red rose
Comparing our love to a vibrant and intense red rose.
And you may wonder about this dreamer
Questions about the nature of the dreamer (possibly the singer).
If she's all you thought she'd be
Wondering if the dreamer lives up to expectations.
And, oh, if anything but someday
Expressing a hope that only positive outcomes result from love.
Ever comes from lovin' me
Concern about potential negative consequences of love.
But hold me close and tell me darlin'
Requesting reassurance and closeness.
That you have come to know
Mutual understanding of the depth and uniqueness of the love.
This love I bring you is no common thing
Affirming that the love offered is extraordinary.
You know this love is like a red, red rose
Reiterating the comparison of love to a red rose.
When you're all caught up in sweet surrender
Describing a state of being captivated by surrendering to love.
Simple truth is sometimes hard to see
Acknowledging the difficulty in recognizing simple truths.
Here between the tough times and the tender
Highlighting the essence of the relationship between challenges and tender moments.
It all comes down to you and me
Ultimately emphasizing the importance of the connection between 'you' and 'me.'
And you may see my heart of darkness
Reference to potential inner struggles or darker aspects of the speaker.
I may stumble now and again
Acknowledging personal imperfections and occasional stumbles.
But underneath this heart of darkness
Revealing that beneath any darkness, there is a heart devoted to loving until the end.
There's a heart that's lovin' you right till the end
Expressing a commitment to love enduringly.
So hold me close, come hold me darlin'
Seeking closeness and reassurance from the partner.
'Cause I want you to know
Expressing the desire for the partner to understand.
This love of ours is no common flower
Reiterating the uniqueness and depth of the shared love.
You know this love is like a red, red rose
Once again, likening the love to a red rose.
This love of ours is no common flower
Reaffirming that the love shared is extraordinary.
You know this love is like a red, red rose
Final repetition of the comparison between love and a red rose.
