When You Were Lovin' Me
Echoes of Love Lost: When Memories Haunt the Heart
Lyrics
When You Were Lovin' Me
Reflecting on a past time when the speaker was being loved
I heard you wake up this morning
Noticed the partner waking up in the morning
And you kissed me oh so soft
Recalling a gentle morning kiss from the partner
I heard the rustle of your cotton gown
Hearing the sound of the partner's cotton gown as they moved
As you walked down the hall
Feeling the emotional impact of the partner's presence
Then my heart starting breaking
Expressing emotional pain as the speaker wakes from a dream
As I woke up from a dream
Recalling a dream about the past when the relationship was fulfilling
Of the way it used to be
Reflecting on how things used to be when the partner was loving
When you were lovin' me
Emphasizing the contrast between the past and the present
When you were lovin' me
Reiterating the theme of the speaker's feelings during a better time
I used to feel like I had it all
Recalling a sense of completeness and happiness when loved
Now all that's left for me
Expressing the loss of those positive emotions since the partner left
Are the memories since your gone
Highlighting that only memories remain after the partner's departure
Tears fall down like rain
Describing the emotional pain with tears falling like rain
Each night when I pray
Expressing a nightly ritual of praying for a return to the past
For just one more day
Longing for a single day to experience the past again
The way it used to be
Reflecting on the way things used to be when love was present
When you were lovin' me
Reiterating the theme of the partner's love and its impact on the speaker
Today I passed you on the sidewalk
Encountering the partner on the sidewalk in the present
And you stopped to say hello
Experiencing a casual greeting from the partner
And that fire deep inside me
Feeling a rekindling of passion as a reaction to the partner's presence
Started burning just like before
Recalling the revived intensity of emotions from the past
I kept looking for that sparkle in your eyes I used to see
Searching for a familiar spark in the partner's eyes
The way it used to be
Reflecting on the contrast between the past and the present
When you were lovin' me
Reiterating the impact of the partner's love in the past
When you were lovin' me
Recalling the positive feelings when the partner was actively loving
I used to feel like I had it all
Describing the sense of completeness and fulfillment in the past
Now all that's left for me
Expressing the emptiness and loss since the partner's departure
Are the memories since your gone
Highlighting the persistence of memories after the partner is gone
Tears fall down like rain
Using tears as a metaphor for the emotional pain and longing
Each night when I pray
Expressing a nightly routine of seeking solace through prayer
For just one more day
Expressing the desire for just one more day of past happiness
The way it used to be
Reflecting on the contrast between the past and the present
When you were lovin' me
Reiterating the theme of the partner's love and its absence
The way it used to be
Emphasizing the nostalgia for the way things used to be
When you were lovin' me
Concluding with the yearning for the partner's past love
