I'm Only Thinking of Him
Unveiling a Noble Quest for Love
Lyrics
Imagine now, the family of our brave knight has left behind
Imagining the family left behind by a brave knight.
Imagine their shock, if news of the masters madness reaches them
Anticipating the shock if news of the master's madness reaches them.
They hurry to the neighborhood Church
The family hurries to the neighborhood church.
I'm only thinking of him
Expressing a singular focus on thoughts of someone special.
I'm only thinking of him
-Whatever I may do or say
-I'm only thinking of him!
-In my body, it's well known
Asserting a lack of selfishness, exclusively concerned about the special person.
There is not one selfish bone
-I'm only thinking and worrying about him!
-I've been, told he's chasing dragons
Concern about the person (groom) chasing dragons and potential consequences.
And I fear it may be true
-If my groom should hear about it
-Heaven knows what he will do!
-Oh, I dearly love my uncle
Love for the uncle despite negative actions, contemplating locking him up.
But for what he's done to me
-I would like to take and lock him up
-And throw away the key!
-But if I do, but if I do
Swearing allegiance to the exclusive focus on the special person.
There is one thing
-That I swear will still be true
-I'm only thinking of him, I know I know my dear
Reiteration of exclusive thoughts and worries about the special person.
I'm only thinking of him, of course you are, my dear
-I'm only thinking and worrying about him, I understand
-I'm only thinking of him
Expressing Christian charity and continued exclusive concern for the special person.
I'm only thinking of him
-Whatever I may do or say
-I'm only thinking of him!
-In the very heart of me
-There is Christian charity
-I'm only thinking and worrying about him!
-Oh, I think he's been too lonely
Concerns about the special person seeking a lady and potential consequences.
Living years without a spouse
-So when he returns
-I fear I may have trouble in the house
-For they say he seeks a lady
-Who his own true love shall be
-God forbid that in his madness
-He should ever think it's me!
-If he should try I'll surely die
Expressing a willingness to guard honor and face consequences to avoid the special person.
And I will grimly
-Guard my honor as I cry
-I'm only thinking of him, I know I know my dear
Reiteration of exclusive thoughts and worries about the special person.
I'm only thinking of him, of course you are, my dear
-I'm only thinking and worrying about him, I understand
-Woe, woe, woe, woe, woe, woe
Expressing sorrow or lamentation.
They re only thinking of him
Observing others exclusively thinking about the special person.
They re only thinking of him
-How saintly is their plaintive plea
-They're only thinking of him!
-What a comfort, to be sure
Highlighting the purity of motives as others think and worry about the special person.
That their motives are so pure
-As they go thinking and worrying about him!
