Just as Though You Were Here
Eternal Love's Embrace: A Melodic Journey through Remembrance
Lyrics
I'll wake each morning, and I'll promise to laugh
I will wake up every morning and make a commitment to find joy.
I'll say good morning to your old photograph
I will greet and acknowledge your photograph as though you were physically present.
And I'll speak to you, dear
I will talk to you affectionately, as if you were here.
(Just as though you were here)
This reiterates the sentiment of speaking to the absent loved one as though they were present.
When purple shadows start to welcome the dark
As the evening arrives and darkness approaches, I will reminisce and embrace familiar places.
I'll take the same old stroll we took through the park
I will take the same route through the park that we used to take together.
And I'll cling to you, dear
I will hold onto memories of our time together as if you were by my side.
(Just as though you were here)
This emphasizes the intent to emotionally connect with the absent individual.
(Oh, don't be afraid that distance and time)
Expressing reassurance that physical distance and passing time won’t separate us permanently.
Will finally tear us apart
There’s a belief that despite physical distance, the bond will remain intact.
(The farther you go, the longer you stay)
The more one moves away, the deeper their presence embeds in the speaker’s heart.
(The deeper you grow in my heart)
The love and connection intensify as time goes by.
Each night before I wander off into sleep
Before sleeping, the speaker reflects on hidden emotions and acknowledges concealed sorrow.
I'll bring to light the tears I've buried so deep
The speaker will bring out and confront the deeply buried emotions before bedtime.
Then I'll kiss you, my dear
Expresses a symbolic kiss to the absent beloved.
(Just as though you were here)
Reiterates the intention to express affection as if the loved one were present.
Each night before I wander off into sleep
A repetition that emphasizes the nightly ritual of addressing emotions and expressing love.
I'll bring to light the tears I've buried so deep
A repetition that underscores the act of acknowledging deeply buried emotions before sleep.
Then I'll kiss you, my dear
Reiterates the symbolic act of kissing the absent loved one.
And though you're gone, my love for you goes on, darling
Despite physical absence, the love for the person continues unceasingly.
(Just as though you were here)
Restates the theme of treating the absent loved one as if they were present.
