Knowing You'll Be There
Eternal Reunion: Finding Comfort in Memories
Lyrics
The other day I passed the place
The speaker mentions passing by a place recently.
You always liked to go
The place is one that the listener (or someone close) used to enjoy.
And I picked up the phone because
The speaker decided to call, thinking the listener would want to know about passing by the place.
I thought you'd want to know
However, the realization hits that the listener is no longer there.
But I forgot you weren't there
The speaker forgets momentarily that the listener is absent.
I miss you all these days
Expressing a sense of longing and missing the listener.
That I'm reminded of your smile
The speaker reminisces about the listener's smile and humorous remarks.
And the funny things you'd say
Reflecting on the impact of the listener's personality.
I see you most at Christmas
The speaker associates the presence of the listener with Christmas and childlike joy.
You were like a little kid
Comparing the listener to a child who enjoys surprises.
You always loved a good surprise
Admitting a yearning for heaven more than ever.
And now I must admit
Acknowledging an increasing desire for spiritual fulfillment.
That I long more for heaven
Expressing the growing importance of the listener's memory.
Than I ever did before
Stating that each day brings a heightened desire for heavenly reunion.
You give me one more reason
Highlighting the listener as a source of motivation for seeking heaven.
And each day I want it more
Conveying an increasing longing for the afterlife.
Knowing we can spend a lifetime
Reflecting on the possibility of spending a lifetime reminiscing about the past.
Reminiscing on the past
Emphasizing the value of shared memories.
Knowing I will see your face again
Anticipating the joy of seeing the listener's face again in the future.
Where tender moment last
Connecting tender moments with the listener to a future reunion.
It makes me wanna go there
Expressing a desire to experience those moments again.
Knowing I won't be alone
Emphasizing the comfort of not being alone, knowing the listener will be present.
Knowing you'll be there makes it easy to go home
Stating that the assurance of the listener's presence makes returning home easy.
You left a group of fishermen
Referring to the listener's departure, using a metaphor of leaving a group of fishermen.
Somehow you left me too
Expressing a sense of personal loss due to the listener's departure.
And though I have felt you many times
Acknowledging moments of spiritual connection and guidance from the departed.
And know you saw me through
Asserting the perception that the listener has observed and supported the speaker.
I've always long to feel your arms
Expressing a longstanding desire to feel the embrace of the departed.
And look into your eyes
Expressing a longing to gaze into the eyes of the departed.
And talk forever me and you
Desiring prolonged conversations in a heavenly setting.
Somewhere in paradise
Imagining a reunion with the departed in a heavenly paradise.
Knowing we can spend a lifetime
Repeating the theme of spending a lifetime reminiscing about shared experiences.
Reminiscing on the past
Reiterating the value of cherishing past memories.
Knowing I will see your face again
Reaffirming the anticipation of seeing the listener's face again.
Where tender moment last
Linking tender moments with the listener to a lasting impact.
