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.
