Reconsider Baby
Farewell Blues: Exploring Heartache and Second Chances
Lyrics
Well so long
Expressing farewell
Oh how I hate to see you go
Regretting the departure
Yes so long
Reiterating goodbye
Oh how I hate to see you go
Reiterating regret over departure
Well the way that I will miss you
Expressing the depth of missing the person
I guess you'll never know
Feeling that the depth of their longing may not be understood by the other person
We've been together so long
Reflecting on the long period spent together
To have to separate this way
Expressing sadness about parting in this manner
We've been together so long
Emphasizing the duration of their togetherness
To have to separate this way
Expressing sadness about the separation
Well I'm gonna let you go ahead on baby
Allowing the other person to leave, yet hoping for their return someday
But let you come back home some day
Expressing willingness to let go but leaving the door open for reconciliation
Play the blues boys, play the blues
Encouraging the musicians to play the blues
One more time
Requesting another rendition of the blues
You said you once had loved me
Recalling a previous declaration of love from the other person
But now I guess you've changed your mind
Noting a perceived change in the other person's feelings
You said you once had loved me
Reiterating the previous declaration of love from the other person
But now I guess you've changed your mind
Highlighting a perceived change in the other person's feelings
Why don't you reconsider baby
Urging the other person to reconsider their decision
Give yourself just a little more time
Encouraging the other person to give themselves more time before making a final choice
