There We Are
Eternal Love's Journey: James Taylor's Melodic Reflections
Lyrics
Listen to me and I'll sing you a song
Invitation to listen to a song being sung.
And the time will go by
Time passing as the song unfolds.
Till you never know where it's gone.
Reflecting on the passage of time.
Talk to me and I'll tell you my life story.
Offer to share the storyteller's life.
Walk with me and I'll tell you my dreams of glory.
Sharing dreams of glory while walking.
There we are walking hand in hand,
Describing a moment of connection.
Somewhere on the sand
Location: walking on sand.
At the end of the land
At the end of the land, symbolizing limits.
And the edge of the shining sea.
By the shining sea, a romantic setting.
Drifting through time and space
Drifting through the vastness of time and space.
On the face of a little blue ball
Earth depicted as a small blue sphere.
Falling around the sun.
Orbiting the sun, a cosmic journey.
One in a million, billion twinkling lights
Reference to stars as countless lights.
Shining out for no one in the middle of the night.
Stars shining without a specific audience.
Here we are, sparks in the darkness,
Emphasizing the connection despite vast darkness.
Speaking of our love
Speaking of enduring love.
Burning down forever and forever.
Love portrayed as a flame burning eternally.
Oh, I don't know if I told you,
Not sure if the love declaration was expressed.
But you hold my heart in your hand.
Acknowledging the partner's hold on the heart.
And I found out something about you, baby,
Discovery about the partner, perhaps a revelation.
Without you.
Feeling lonely without the partner.
I'm a lonely man.
Expressing loneliness without the partner.
So though I never say that I love you,
Unspoken love for the partner.
I love you, darling I do, Carly, I do love you.
Explicitly stating love for Carly.
And though we are as nothing
Comparing human significance to the vastness of stars.
To the stars that shine above,
Recognition of the partner's importance.
You are my universe, you are my love.
Partner described as the universe and love.
Here we are, like children forever,
Embracing a childlike, eternal love.
Taking care of one another
Caring for each other in the face of the world's busyness.
While the world goes on without us,
Observing the world continuing without them.
All around us.
Awareness of the world's existence around them.
