Like a Sad Song
Echoes of Longing: John Denver's Melodic Tale of Love and Solitude
Lyrics
Usually in the morning I'm filled with sweet belonging
Expressing a usual sense of belonging and contentment in the morning.
And everything is beautiful to see
Describing a positive perspective where everything appears beautiful.
Even when it's raining, the sound of heaven singing
Finding joy even in rainy moments, describing it as the sound of heaven.
Is simply joyful music to me
Perceiving the rain as joyful music.
Sometimes I feel like a sad song
Expressing a contrasting emotion of feeling like a sad song.
Like I'm all alone without you
Conveying a sense of loneliness when separated from a significant other.
So many different places, a million smiling faces
Noting the diversity of places and faces, finding life incredible.
Life is so incredible to me
Expressing appreciation for the perfection of life.
Especially to be near you and how it is to touch you
Highlighting the specialness of being near and touching a loved one.
Oh, paradise was made for you and me
Suggesting that paradise is created for the speaker and their loved one.
I know that life goes on just perfectly
Acknowledging the continuity of life and its perfect nature.
And everything is just the way that it should be
Affirming that everything is as it should be.
Still there are times when my heart feels like breaking
Despite the positive outlook, acknowledging moments of heartbreak.
Anywhere is where I'd rather be
Expressing a willingness to be anywhere as long as with a loved one.
Oh, and in the night time I know that it's the right time
Designating nighttime as the right time for intimacy and declarations of love.
To hold you close and say I love you so
Expressing the desire to hold a loved one close and profess love.
To have someone to share with
Desiring a shared experience with someone special.
And someone I can care with
Emphasizing the importance of caring for someone.
And that is why I wanted you to know
Communicating the significance of the message to the listener.
Sometimes I feel like a sad song
Repeating the feeling of being like a sad song when alone.
Like I'm all alone without you, without you
Reiterating the sense of loneliness without a loved one.
Sometimes I feel like a sad song
Repeating the sentiment of feeling like a sad song when separated.
Like I'm all alone without you, without you
Reiterating the sense of loneliness without a loved one.
