Don't Let Me Wait Too Long
Eternal Yearning: George Harrison's Melodic Plea for Love
Lyrics
How I love you baby
Expressing deep love for the partner.
So don't let me wait too long
Pleading not to delay in responding or being together.
How I love you baby
Reiteration of intense love.
So don't let me wait too long
Emphasizing the urgency of not waiting too long.
How I miss you baby
Expressing a strong sense of missing the partner.
So don't let me wait too long
Urging not to prolong the wait.
How I miss you baby
Reiterating the feeling of missing the partner deeply.
So don't let me wait too long
Requesting not to delay the reunion.
'Till you're here by my side
Expressing anticipation until the partner is by their side.
Now only you know how to dry up all
Highlighting the partner's role in comforting and consoling.
Of those tears that I've cried
Referring to past tears and the partner's ability to alleviate pain.
Here, with our love
Describing a shared love.
Now only you know how to lay it down
Attributing a divine quality to the way love is expressed.
Like it came from above
Comparing the expression of love to something heavenly.
You know it's you that I love
Acknowledging the specific person the singer loves.
Now don't let me wait too long
Repetition of the plea not to delay.
Now don't let me wait too long
Reiteration of the urgency not to wait too long.
Now don't let me wait too long
Emphasizing the importance of a timely reunion.
Now don't let me wait too long
Highlighting the plea for prompt action.
Till you're here by my side
Repeating the anticipation until the partner's presence.
Now only you know how to dry eye up
Reiterating the partner's role in comforting and drying tears.
All of those tears that I've cried
Recalling past emotional pain and the partner's soothing influence.
Here with your love
Describing the shared love once again.
Now only you know how to lay it there
Highlighting the partner's unique ability to express love.
Like it came from above
Comparing the expression of love to a divine source.
You know that it's you that I love
Affirming that the singer's love is directed towards a specific person.
So don't let me wait too long
Reiterating the plea not to delay the reunion.
So don't let me wait too long
Emphasizing the urgency once again.
How I miss you baby
Expressing a strong sense of missing the partner.
So don't let me wait too long
Urging not to wait too long.
How I miss you baby
Reiterating the intense feeling of missing the partner.
So don't let me wait,
Stressing once more the importance of not waiting.
Don't let me wait,
Repeating the plea not to delay.
Don't let me wait too long
Reiterating the urgency of not waiting too long.
