Lyrics
Say you will, say you might
Soliciting a commitment or positive response.
Say you'll stay for the night
Requesting to stay overnight, indicating a desire for intimacy.
It feels so right and we're alone
Expressing the feeling of being right together and in solitude.
Take my love, take it all
Offering one's love completely.
Take it now, and let us fall into the night
Urging to take the love immediately and plunge into the night.
From the moment I first saw you
Reflecting on the first encounter and recognizing a special connection.
I could tell you were the one
Perceiving the person as someone who can bring positive change.
Who could change my way of living
Believing that the person can alter the way of life.
Who could lead me to the sun
Seeing the person as a guiding force leading towards happiness.
All the names, all the faces
Referencing past experiences and people.
That were lurking in my past
Implying the removal of negative influences with the new connection.
Were erased the day I held you
Highlighting the transformative impact of holding the person.
And I knew you were the last
Acknowledging the perceived significance of the current relationship.
From the time I started moving
Recalling a solo journey in life since the beginning.
I've been trav'lin on my own
Describing a history of independent travel.
Though there were many nights of longing
Admitting to nights of loneliness.
That I could no stand alone
Expressing an inability to endure solitude.
Like and organ grinder's monkey
Using a metaphor involving a monkey to depict searching for affection.
Picking pennies from the street
Describing a humble pursuit of emotional connection.
I would scrounge for some affection
Seeking affection through encounters with various lovers.
With the lovers that I'd meet
Highlighting the longing for connection.
But none could show me how to fly
Expressing the inability of past relationships to provide fulfillment.
So in the end we said good bye
Ending previous relationships.
But in my dreams I saw you waiting
Dreaming about the current partner waiting.
In my mind I heard you saying
Hearing affirmations in the mind from the partner.
Take my love, take it all
Reiterating the offer of complete love.
Take it now, let us fall into the night
Encouraging immediate acceptance and embracing the night together.
Until the dawn
Extending the desire until dawn.
Say you will, say you might
Repeating the request for commitment or positive response.
Say you'll stay for the night
Reiterating the desire for an overnight stay and the right feeling.
It feels so right and we're alone
Emphasizing the correctness of the moment and the intimacy.
Say you will, say you might
Continuing the request for commitment or positive response.
Say you'll stay for the night
Persisting in the desire for an overnight stay until dawn.
Until the dawn
Concluding with the repeated plea for commitment.
