So Long

Lyrics
So long, hope we'll meet again one day
Expressing farewell, with a hope for a future meeting.
I'm hopin' maybe then you'll say
Anticipating that in the future, the person will acknowledge a mistake.
Darlin' - I was wrong

So long, so long, so long
Repeating the farewell, emphasizing the departure.
Gee, I hate to see you go - umm..
Expressing reluctance and sadness about the person leaving.
You're really the world to me, you know
Acknowledging the significant value of the person in the singer's life.
You, you just stay so long
Encouraging the person to stay longer, perhaps indicating a reluctance to part ways.
All alone, with my memories of you
Reflecting on being alone with memories of the departed person.
And I can see that your lonely too
Noticing and empathizing with the loneliness of the person who left.
You're my own, even though we're far apart
Affirming a personal connection even though physically distant.
But I'll keep you right here in my heart
Committing to keeping the person in the singer's heart despite the physical separation.
So long, so long, so long, so long
Repeating the farewell, emphasizing the prolonged departure.
Though you leave me hear to cry - huh..
Expressing emotional pain at the person leaving.
Or could it, could it, could it, could it be - goodbye
Questioning whether the departure is a final goodbye.
Don't you know that you've been mine so long
Affirming the long-standing connection between the singer and the departed person.
Yes I'm alone, with my memories of you
Reiterating the theme of being alone with memories of the departed person.
Yes, I can dream, dream, dream, that you're lonely too
Indulging in hopeful dreams that the departed person also feels lonely.
You're my own, even though we're far apart
Reaffirming the personal connection despite physical distance.
Well I'll keep you right here in my heart
Reiterating the commitment to keeping the person in the singer's heart.
So long, so long, so long
Repeating the farewell, emphasizing the prolonged departure.
Though you leave me hear to cry - huh..

Well this could never, never, never mean goodbye
Denying the possibility of a final goodbye, suggesting hope for future reunions.
Darlin' you, you just stay -- So Long.....
