Sandy
Longing and Heartache: John Travolta's 'Sandy' Tale
Lyrics
Stranded at the drivin'
Feeling abandoned at the drive-in, a place associated with social activities.
Branded a fool
Being labeled as a fool or someone who made a mistake.
What will they say Monday at school?
Anticipating judgment or gossip at school on Monday due to the situation.
Sandy, can't you see I'm in misery?
Expressing misery to Sandy and seeking understanding.
We made a start, now we're apart
Reflecting on a past relationship that started but is now over.
There's nothing left for me
Feeling that there is nothing left after the separation.
Love has flown, all alone
Love has ended, and the speaker is now alone.
I sit and wonder why
Contemplating the reasons for the breakup and feeling puzzled.
Oh, why you left me
Expressing the emotional impact of Sandy leaving.
Oh, Sandy?
Calling out to Sandy and questioning the separation.
Oh, Sandy, baby
Repeating the call to Sandy, emphasizing the emotional connection.
Someday, when high school is done
Looking forward to a future reunion after high school.
Somehow, someway, our two worlds will be one
Believing that somehow, their worlds will unite in the future.
In heaven forever and ever we will be
Imagining eternal togetherness in heaven.
Oh, please say you'll stay,
Pleading for Sandy to promise to stay.
Oh, Sandy
Reiterating the plea for Sandy's commitment.
Sandy, my darlin'
Addressing Sandy affectionately despite the pain caused.
You hurt me real bad
Acknowledging the hurt caused by Sandy's actions.
You know it's true
Emphasizing the truth of the pain experienced.
But, baby, you gotta believe me when I say
Asking Sandy to believe in the speaker's helplessness without her.
I'm helpless without you
Expressing dependency on Sandy and the difficulty of being without her.
Love has flown, all alone
Repeating the theme of love being lost and being alone.
I sit, I wonder why
Continuing to ponder the reasons for the breakup.
Oh, why you left me
Reiterating the emotional impact of Sandy's departure.
Oh, Sandy?
Again calling out to Sandy and expressing the emotional pain.
Sandy, Sandy
Repeating Sandy's name, perhaps to emphasize the personal connection.
Why?
Pleading for an explanation or understanding of why Sandy left.
Oh, Sandy
Repeating the call to Sandy, indicating the persistence of the emotional plea.
