Baby Blue Eyes
Embracing Imperfections: Love, Scars, and Baby Blue Eyes
Lyrics
Hose little imperfections
Small flaws or imperfections
Are what I love about you
Expressing affection for the imperfections in the person
The scar on your arms
Notable injuries on the arms
In the shape of a heart
The scars form the shape of a heart
Baby blue eyes
Describing the person's eyes as a shade of baby blue
And the smile of an angel
Complimenting the person's smile as angelic
Melt the snow from any mountain
Suggesting that the person's qualities have a powerful and positive impact
And make a madman sane
Attributing the ability to bring calmness and reason even to a madman
He won't ever complain
Assuring that the person won't complain
In the everglades
Referencing a specific location, possibly a metaphorical place
In the backyard lit by fairy lights
Describing a illuminated backyard with fairy lights
With garlands let us walk
Suggesting a romantic stroll with garlands by the water
By the water's edge let's dance
Encouraging dancing by the water's edge
Let's dance let's dance let's dance let's dance
Repeating the invitation to dance
You lead I'll follow
Agreeing to follow the lead of the other person
And if I stumble
Acknowledging the possibility of stumbling
Catch me
Requesting to be caught if stumbling
Before I fall
Expressing trust in the other person to prevent a fall
I know where we've come from
Reflecting on the journey and shared experiences
I know the road we've traveled to get here
Acknowledging the challenges faced along the way
We've seen some tragedies along the way
Referring to difficult events or hardships
When folks want to exchange places
When others desire to switch positions or circumstances
Just walk a few steps in these shoes
Encouraging empathy by walking in one's shoes
Sometimes they hurt cost they're too tight
Highlighting the discomfort and challenges faced by the person
It ain't always easy being me
Expressing that being oneself is not always easy
It ain't always easy being me
Repeating the difficulty of being oneself
Those little imperfections
Reiteration of affection for the person's imperfections
Are what I love about you
Reaffirming love for the small flaws in the person
The scar on your arms
Repetition of the notable injuries on the arms
In the shape of a heart
Repetition of the scars forming the shape of a heart
Baby blue eyes
Reiteration of the person's baby blue eyes
And the smile of an angel
Reiterating the compliment of an angelic smile
Melt the snow from any mountain
Repeating the idea of the person's positive influence
And make a madman sane
Reaffirming the calming effect on a madman
He won't ever complain
Reiterating that the person won't complain
