But You Know I Love You
Love's Struggle: A Ballad of Dreams and Choices
Lyrics
When the morning sun streaks across my room
Describing the morning sun streaming into the room, setting the scene.
Lord I'm wakened up from another dream of you
Expressing the narrator's awakening from a dream involving the person addressed in the song.
And I'm on the road once again it seems
Indicating the narrator's continuous journey or life on the road.
That all I've left behind is a chain of broken dreams
Reflecting on a past filled with unfulfilled aspirations and shattered dreams.
But you know I love you yes I love you oh how I love you
Reiterating the narrator's love for the addressed person despite life's challenges.
I wish this love was all we'd need to live
Expressing a desire for love to be the sole necessity for a fulfilling life.
What a life we'd have cause I've got so much to give
Imagining a prosperous life together due to the narrator's abundance of love to give.
And it seems so wrong deep inside my heart
Feeling conflicted within, as material concerns seem to be driving a wedge in the relationship.
That this dollar sign whould be keeping us apart
Highlighting the impact of financial issues on the relationship, symbolized by a dollar sign.
But you know I love you yes I love you oh how I love you
Reaffirming love despite the challenges faced.
And if only I could find my way back to the time
Yearning for a time when life was simpler and problems were not as burdensome.
When the problems of this world had not yet crossed our minds
Reflecting on the burden of worldly problems affecting the relationship.
For the answer could be found in children's nursery rhymes
Suggesting that simpler, childlike wisdom could hold answers to life's complexities.
And I'd come running back to youand I'd come running back to you
Expressing a desire to return to a happier time with the addressed person.
No you know we can't live on dreams alone
Acknowledging the impracticality of living solely on dreams without addressing real-world responsibilities.
Got to pay the rent got to leave you all alone
Acknowledging the need to fulfill practical obligations such as paying rent.
But you know I made my choice many years ago
Revealing a choice made in the past to embrace a nomadic lifestyle.
That this traveling life is the only one I know
Justifying the narrator's commitment to a life of constant travel.
But you know I love you yes I love you oh I love you
Repeatedly affirming love for the addressed person despite life's challenges.
But you know I love you yes I love you oh I love you
-But you know I love you yes I love you oh I love you
