And I Love You So
Embracing Life's Symphony: Perry Como's 'And I Love You So' Meaning
Lyrics
And I love you so
Expressing deep love for someone
The people ask me how
Addressing inquiries about the speaker's love
How I've lived till now
Reflecting on the duration of the speaker's life
I tell them I don't know
Uncertainty about the reasons for living
I guess they understand
Belief that others comprehend the speaker's loneliness
How lonely life has been
Acknowledging the past loneliness in life
But life began again
Life's renewal with the advent of a significant other
The day you took my hand
The transformative moment when the loved one took the speaker's hand
And yes, I know how lonely life can be
Awareness of the potential loneliness in life
The shadows follow me 'n' the night won't set me free
Struggling with shadows and a persistent sense of night
But I don't let the evening get me down
Resilience in not letting evening troubles affect the speaker
Now that you're around me
Attributing strength to the presence of the loved one
And you love me, too
Confirmation of mutual love
Your thoughts are just for me
Recognition that the loved one's thoughts are focused on the speaker
You set my spirit free
The loved one's influence in liberating the speaker's spirit
I'm happy that you do
Expressing happiness about the loved one's impact
The book of life is brief
Contemplating the brevity of life
And once a page is read
Highlighting the finality of each life page
All but life is dead
Suggesting that without love, life lacks vitality
That is my belief
Expressing a personal belief in the importance of love
And yes, I know how lonely life can be
Reiteration of awareness about potential loneliness
The shadows follow me and the night won't set me free
Continuing struggle with shadows and night's influence
But I don't let the evening get me down
Maintaining resilience in the face of evening challenges
Now that you're around me
Reiterating the positive impact of the loved one's presence
