Take Me Away
Eternal Love's Invitation: Take Me Away with Jackie DeShannon
Lyrics
I know one day
The speaker anticipates a future moment.
I'll find a boy who'll softly say
Expresses a desire for a boy to speak gently to the speaker.
"Little girl may I take you away?"
The boy asks permission to take the speaker away.
And then he'll say
The boy affirms eternal love for the speaker.
That he'll love me 'til the end of time
He promises to love the speaker endlessly.
And then he'll swear
The boy vows that the speaker will never be alone.
That I'll never be alone
Reassurance that the speaker will have constant companionship.
And then he'll say that he needs me
The boy expresses his need for the speaker.
And he wants me to be his girl
Desire for the speaker to be his girlfriend.
And then he'll ask if he may take me away
The boy seeks permission to take the speaker away.
Each day I pray
The speaker prays daily for a specific outcome.
That when he speaks he'll know the way
Desires the boy to communicate in a way that makes the speaker feel loved.
To make me feel that his love for me is real
Wants the boy's love to feel genuine and authentic.
I hope he'll say
The speaker hopes the boy will affirm love until an unlikely event.
That he'll love me 'til the seas run dry
Desire for enduring love from the boy.
I hope he'll swear i'll never be alone
The boy promises the speaker will never experience loneliness.
I hope he'll say that he needs me
The boy reiterates his need for the speaker.
And he wants me to be his girl
Expresses a desire for the speaker to be his girlfriend.
And then I'll say
The speaker consents to being taken away by the boy.
"Yes, you may take me away"
The speaker grants permission for the boy to take her away.
