Bless You
Bless You: A Symphony of Love and Resilience by Jimmy Ruffin
Lyrics
Ev'ry time I faced the world
Expressing the difficulty faced in confronting the world.
I just had to cry
Feeling the need to cry in response to life's challenges.
I stood alone with no love of my own
Standing alone without experiencing love.
But then you happened by
Positive change occurred when the person being addressed entered the speaker's life.
Oh darlin', Bless You
Expressing gratitude and well-wishing to the addressed person.
Bless ev'ry breath that you take
Wishing blessings upon every breath taken by the addressed person.
Bless ev'ry move that you make so perfectly
Extending blessings to every action performed flawlessly by the addressed person.
And bless your little heart for lovin' me
Appreciating and blessing the addressed person's heart for loving the speaker.
Uuh, Bless You, Bless you, child!
Repeating the expression of blessings towards the addressed person.
Till you smiled and took my hand
Highlighting a positive change in the speaker's feelings when the addressed person smiled and held hands.
I felt kinda small
Feeling a sense of inadequacy before the addressed person's support.
But you stood by me for the whole world to see
Acknowledging the addressed person's support in a public manner.
And then I was ten feet tall
Experiencing a significant boost in confidence due to the addressed person's presence.
Oh darlin', Bless You, Bless ev'ry breath that you take,
Reiterating the blessings and gratitude towards the addressed person.
Bless ev'ry move that you make so perfectly,
Extending blessings to the addressed person's every graceful move.
And bless your little heart for lovin' me
Appreciating the addressed person's heart for its love.
Ev'ry time I faced the world
Repetition of the earlier sentiments about facing the world and feeling alone.
I just had to cry
Reiteration of the emotional response of crying when facing the world.
I stood alone with no love of my own
Restating the experience of standing alone without love.
But then you happened by
Highlighting the positive impact of the addressed person's arrival.
Oh darlin', Bless You
Expressing ongoing gratitude and blessings toward the addressed person.
Bless ev'ry breath that you take
Continued blessings on every breath taken by the addressed person.
Bless ev'ry move that you make so perfectly
Continued appreciation for every flawless move made by the addressed person.
And bless your little heart for lovin' me
Ongoing gratitude for the love expressed by the addressed person's heart.
Uuh, Bless You, Bless you, child!
Repetition of blessings towards the addressed person.
Till you smiled and took my hand
Recalling the positive change in feelings when the addressed person smiled and held hands.
I felt kinda small
Reiterating the sense of smallness overcome by the addressed person's support.
But you stood by me for the whole world to see
Acknowledging the public display of support from the addressed person.
And then I was ten feet tall
Reaffirming the boost in confidence due to the addressed person's presence.
Oh darlin', Bless You, Bless ev'ry breath that you take
Continued expression of blessings and gratitude towards the addressed person.
Bless ev'ry move that you make so perfectly
Reiteration of blessings on the addressed person's every graceful move.
