Bless You
Bless You: Finding Strength and Love Amidst Adversity
Lyrics
Ev'ry time I faced the world
Expressing the challenges faced when confronting the world
I just had to cry
Emphasizing the emotional response of crying in difficult situations
I stood alone with no love of my own
Describing a sense of loneliness without personal love
But then you happened by
Introducing a positive change brought about by someone's arrival
Oh darlin', Bless You
Expressing gratitude and good wishes to the person
Bless ev'ry breath that you take
Extending blessings to every breath taken by the person
Bless ev'ry move that you make so perfectly
Wishing blessings on every move made by the person
And bless your little heart for lovin' me
Acknowledging and appreciating the person's love
Uuh, Bless You, Bless you, child!
Repeating blessings to emphasize the sincerity
Till you smiled and took my hand
Describing a positive change after the person smiled and held hands
I felt kinda small
Expressing a sense of smallness or inadequacy
But you stood by me for the whole world to see
Highlighting the support received from the person in public
And then I was ten feet tall
Feeling empowered and confident with the person's support
Oh darlin', Bless You, Bless ev'ry breath that you take,
Reiterating blessings and gratitude
Bless ev'ry move that you make so perfectly
Extending blessings to the person's every move
And bless your little heart for lovin' me
Expressing appreciation for the person's love
Ev'ry time I faced the world
Repetition of facing the world and crying, suggesting ongoing struggles
I just had to cry
Reiterating the emotional response of crying
I stood alone with no love of my own
Reiterating a sense of loneliness without personal love
But then you happened by
Reintroducing the positive change brought by the person
Oh darlin', Bless You
Repeating blessings and gratitude to the person
Bless ev'ry breath that you take
Continuing blessings for every breath taken by the person
Bless ev'ry move that you make so perfectly
Continuing blessings for every move made by the person
And bless your little heart for lovin' me
Reiterating appreciation for the person's love
Uuh, Bless You, Bless you, child!
Repeating blessings for emphasis
Till you smiled and took my hand
Recalling the positive change after the person smiled and held hands
I felt kinda small
Reiterating the sense of smallness overcome with the person's support
But you stood by me for the whole world to see
Emphasizing the public display of support from the person
And then I was ten feet tall
Reiterating the feeling of empowerment and confidence
Oh darlin', Bless You, Bless ev'ry breath that you take
Closing with blessings for the person's every breath and move
Bless ev'ry move that you make so perfectly
Concluding with gratitude for the person's perfect actions and love
