This Is It
Farewell's Embrace: Jim Reeves' Heartfelt Goodbye
Lyrics
Well, this is it, that day is here
Expressing the realization that a significant moment or event has arrived.
The day I knew would come, when you would leave me, dear (leave me, dear)
Acknowledging the expected departure of a loved one, with a sense of sorrow.
Well, here I sit, while teardrops fall
Describing the emotional state of sitting and shedding tears.
And wonder why I care when you don't care at all (don't care at all)
Questioning the reason for caring when the other person seems indifferent.
But I'm a fool that way, from a-way back when
Admitting to being a sentimental person with a history of being a fool for love.
A fool who'd take you back if you'd come back again
Acknowledging a willingness to welcome the departed person back despite past experiences.
But this is it, you're gone, you're free
Confirming the departure of the loved one and the freedom gained.
You'll find another love, but this is it for me
Accepting that the person will find new love, but expressing finality for the singer.
Well, this is it, That day is here
Reiterating the significance of the moment and the inevitability of the departure.
It's no surprise and yet, I can't hold back the tears (hold back the tears)
Admitting that the departure is not unexpected but still causing emotional distress.
Well, here I sit and try to guess
Reflecting on the difficulty of understanding the emptiness in the absence of the loved one.
How such an empty room, so full of loneliness (loneliness)
Describing the room as filled with loneliness despite its physical emptiness.
Well, even the clock has stopped
Observing that even the clock, a symbol of time, has seemingly stopped in response to the situation.
Somehow I guess it knew
Suggesting a connection between the stopped clock and the singer's realization that time has run out.
That time's run out for me
Declaring that time is over, indicating the end of a significant chapter or relationship.
It's over, it're all through
Expressing finality and closure, emphasizing that it's all over.
Yes, this is it
Reiterating the acknowledgment of the departure and the newfound freedom.
You're gone, you're free
Predicting that the departed person will find new love and emphasizing that it's the end for the singer.
You'll find another love but this is it for me
Repeating the prediction of finding another love but emphasizing the finality for the singer.
