When She Loved Me
A Love Fades Away: When She Loved Me by Jordan Pruitt
Lyrics
When somebody loved me
Reflecting on a past time when someone loved the speaker
Everything was beautiful
Describing the beauty and positivity experienced during that love
Every hour we spent together
Highlighting the enjoyable moments spent together
Lives within my heart
Expressing the lasting impact of those moments on the speaker's heart
And when she was sad
Recalling the speaker's role in comforting the person during sad times
I was there to dry her tears
Emphasizing the speaker's support in drying her tears
And when she was happy so was I
Sharing happiness together when she was happy
When she loved me
Repeating the central theme of when the person loved the speaker
Through the summer and the fall
Describing a period of togetherness during summer and fall
We had each other that was all
Stating that having each other was enough during that time
Just she and I together
Emphasizing the exclusivity of their companionship
Like it was meant to be
Asserting that their connection was destined
And when she was lonely
Addressing moments of loneliness experienced by the person
I was there to comfort her
Reiterating the speaker's role in providing comfort during lonely times
And I knew that she loved me
Expressing the speaker's awareness of being loved during those times
So the years went by
Indicating the passage of time
I stayed the same
Stating the speaker's consistency while the other person changed
She began to drift away
Describing the person drifting away from the speaker
I was left alone
Expressing the speaker's feeling of being left alone
Still I waited for the day
Conveying the speaker's continued hope for a reunion
When she'd say
Anticipating the day when the person will express love again
I will always love you
Quoting the expected declaration of everlasting love
Lonely and forgotten
Describing the speaker's emotional state of being lonely and forgotten
Never thought she'd look my way
Expressing surprise at the person turning attention back to the speaker
She smiled at me and held me
Recalling a moment of warmth and connection
Just like she used to do
Comparing the current moment to past expressions of love
Like she loved me
Reiterating the joy felt when the person loved the speaker
When she loved me
Repeating the central theme of the song
When somebody loved me
Revisiting the impact of being loved in a broader sense
Everything was beautiful
Reemphasizing the beauty and positivity of that love
Every hour we spent together
Recalling the enjoyable hours spent together
Lives within my heart
Reiterating the lasting impact on the speaker's heart
When she loved me, hey
Concluding with a repetition of the central theme
