Let the Teardrops Fall
Echoes of Heartache: Letting Teardrops Tell a Love's Tale
Lyrics
Let the teardrops fall
Expressing a willingness to let tears flow.
You said you wasn`t gonna call
Reference to a broken promise of not making contact.
You didn`t love me at all
Claiming that there was no genuine love.
So let the teardrops fall
Reiterating the acceptance of emotional pain.
Since you`ve been gone
Describing a period of time after the departure of a loved one.
I`ve been so blue
Feeling sad and downhearted since the departure.
And I spend my time
Allocating time to thoughts about the absent person.
Just a-thinkin` of you
Continuous contemplation about the departed individual.
Well I sit here at home
Being in a state of anticipation and waiting at home.
By my telephone
Expressing a longing to hear from the person.
Hopin` you`ll change your mind
Expressing hope for a change of heart from the person.
Well it`s you I dream of
Indicating that the person is the subject of dreams.
And I need your love
Declaring a need for the person's love.
So tell me you`ll be mine
Requesting a commitment to a romantic relationship.
`Cause the sun doesn`t shine
Using weather metaphors to convey emotional darkness.
And the moon it won`t glow
Highlighting the absence of light and warmth.
And these lonely nights
Expressing the slowness and difficulty of lonely nights.
All pass to slow
Continuation of the theme of lonely nights.
Sweet memories
Recalling fond memories of the past.
I still recall
Stating a yearning for the absent person.
But I miss you so
Expressing intense feelings of missing the person.
So let the teardrops fall [Repeat: x 2]
Repeating the acceptance of shedding tears in response to the emotional pain.
