In Care of the Blues
Yearning Letters: Patsy Cline's Poetic Plea for Love
Lyrics
Now, baby if you're needin' me
Expressing readiness to be there for the partner if they need support.
The way that I been needin' you
Highlighting the mutual need for each other in the relationship.
Well, drop me a line
Inviting communication through a letter.
Sayin' honey you'll be mine
Asking the partner to confirm commitment and affection.
Write me in care of the blues
Suggesting to send letters addressed to the emotional state of longing (care of the blues).
I hope that you've been missin' me
Expressing hope for the partner's longing and missing.
The way that I've been missin' you
Expressing personal feelings of missing the partner.
I shouldn't have let you go
Regretting the decision to let the partner go.
Because I miss you so
Stating the depth of the speaker's feelings of longing.
Write me in care of the blues
Reiterating the suggestion to send letters in care of the blues.
Give that postman your letter
Encouraging the partner to send a letter through the postman.
And he'll know what to do
Assuring that the postman understands the situation.
He'll bring your letter to me
Describing the process of delivering the letter and bringing the speaker closer.
And a plane will bring me to you
Emphasizing the potential for physical closeness through the plane journey.
Now, baby if you're needin' me
Repeating the earlier expression of readiness to be there for the partner.
The way that I been needin' you
Reiterating the mutual need in the relationship.
Just drop me a line
Encouraging communication through letters for commitment.
Sayin' honey you'll be mine
Requesting confirmation of commitment and affection.
Write me in care of the blues
Repeating the suggestion to send letters in care of the blues.
(Repeat last two verses)
Repeating the last two verses for emphasis.
