It's About Time
Rekindling Lost Moments: It's About Time by Linda Ronstadt
Lyrics
It only seems like yesterday
Reflecting on a past moment, conveying the feeling that it seems like a short time ago.
You got a restless look
Observing a look of restlessness in the other person, possibly indicating inner turmoil or uncertainty.
Said goodbye in the same old way
Recalling a farewell that occurred in a predictable, familiar manner.
Like I knew you would
Expressing a sense of foresight about the departure, suggesting a predicted outcome.
You remember, do you remember
Prompting a recollection, asking if the other person remembers past conversations or events.
Everything we said
Referring to shared memories and conversations.
Promise made with a kiss for sure
Highlighting a promise made with certainty, symbolized by a kiss.
Like a book I read
Comparing the promise to a read book, suggesting its familiarity and reliability.
It's about time you came back anyway
Implying that it's overdue for the person to return.
It's been a long long time
Expressing the extended duration of being alone, emphasizing the passage of time.
Been alone most every day
Conveying a sense of solitude experienced on most days.
You've been on my mind
Indicating that the person has been consistently on the speaker's mind.
I always wondered where you went
Wondering about the destination the person chose to seek peace of mind.
To find some peace of mind
Suggesting a lack of consideration for the impact of leaving the speaker behind.
You never seemed to give much thought
Highlighting the person's apparent indifference or lack of reflection on the departure.
To leaving me behind
Expressing a sense of being left behind emotionally.
You remember, do you remember
Reiterating the theme of shared memories and past promises.
Everything we said
Referring again to promises made, emphasizing their importance.
Promise made with a kiss for sure
Linking promises to the certainty of a kiss, underscoring their significance.
Like a book I read
Comparing promises to a read book, reinforcing their familiarity and commitment.
It's about time you came back anyway
Reiterating the overdue nature of the person's return.
It's been a long long time
Emphasizing the prolonged period of being alone, reinforcing the impact of the absence.
Been alone most every day
Repeating the theme of solitude experienced on most days.
You've been on my mind
Reaffirming that the person has been consistently on the speaker's mind.
It's about time you came back anyway
Reiterating the overdue nature of the person's return, creating a sense of anticipation.
It's been a long long time
Emphasizing the extended duration of being alone, reinforcing the impact of the absence.
Been alone most every day
Repeating the theme of solitude experienced on most days.
You've been on my mind
Reaffirming that the person has been consistently on the speaker's mind.
You've been on my mind
Stressing the enduring presence of the person in the speaker's thoughts.
