I Just Want You To Know
Embracing Light in Dark Times: A Song of Comfort by Gillian Welch
Lyrics
Don't you know, when you're sad
Expressing concern for someone who is feeling sad or down.
And all your sweet dreams are bad
Acknowledging that the person is having distressing dreams during their sadness.
A little sunshine, and your garden will grow
Suggesting that a bit of positivity ("sunshine") can help the person's emotional well-being.
I just want you to know
Reiterating the desire to convey a message or provide support.
When you're down, what you need
Highlighting the importance of having a good friend when feeling down.
Is a good friend, and call on me
Encouraging the person to reach out for support, emphasizing availability.
'Cause I could find you wherever you go
Expressing the commitment to finding and supporting the person wherever they may be.
I just want you to know
Reiterating the intention to convey a message of care and support.
Sometimes I don't talk about it
Admitting that there are times when feelings may not be openly discussed.
But you're wrong to ever doubt it
Asserting that doubts about the strength of love are unfounded.
'Cause my love is so strong
Stating the depth and intensity of the speaker's love for the person.
And I've been here for so long
Indicating a long-standing commitment to being present and supportive.
You don't know how I feel
Highlighting that the depth of the speaker's emotions may not be fully understood.
And that my love for you is real
Affirming the genuine and authentic nature of the speaker's love for the person.
When you cry, you don't cry alone
Assuring the person that they are not alone in their moments of sadness and tears.
I just want you to know
Reiterating the desire to convey a message of support and care during difficult times.
I just want you to know
Emphasizing the sincerity and repetition of the message of support.
I just want you to know
Repeating the desire to ensure the person knows they are cared for.
