Now and Then
Soulful Encounters: Love's Unstoppable Spell
Lyrics
Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love

You can't do a thing about it
Highlighting the powerlessness to control or influence the feeling of falling in love.
(repeat 3 times)
Emphasizing the inevitability of love despite the inability to act upon it.
In you I saw someone that I recognized
Recognizing familiarity or connection with the person being observed.
Had no idea what was in your mind
Acknowledging a lack of understanding about the thoughts and feelings of the person.
I met your eyes and I was hypnotized
Describing the captivating effect of meeting the person's eyes.
I let our lives become entwined
Choosing to intertwine lives with the person, suggesting a deep connection.
Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love
Reiterating the theme of encountering a soul and falling in love, emphasizing its occasional nature.
You can't do a thing about it
Reaffirming the lack of control over the experience of falling in love.
Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love
Repeating the idea of encountering a captivating soul and the inevitability of falling in love.
You can't do a thing about it
Restating the inability to influence the process of falling in love.
I feel so badly Darlin' all the time
Expressing remorse or guilt for causing emotional distress to the person addressed as "Darlin'."
I have tortured you so long
Acknowledging a prolonged period of causing suffering or anguish to the individual.
But I am helpless in this pantomime
Describing a sense of helplessness in a theatrical or symbolic performance of life.
I am aware that I was wrong
Recognizing the awareness of wrongdoing in the relationship.
Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love
Reiterating the theme of encountering a captivating soul and falling in love with it.
You can't do a thing about it
Reemphasizing the lack of control over the experience of falling in love.

For though you knew that I was twice your age
Addressing a significant age difference in the relationship.
To make you laugh seemed you enough
Indicating the importance of bringing joy to the person despite age-related differences.
I thought we'd love and then and then you'd turn the page
Expressing expectations of love and the anticipation of a positive change in the relationship.
I'd have to suffer your rebuff
Anticipating rejection or disappointment from the person addressed.
And it was me who had the most to gain
Admitting to having the most to gain in the relationship.
Despite the fact that I now have lost
Acknowledging the loss of the only love that caused personal pain.
The only love that ever caused me pain
Reflecting on the irony of losing the love that brought suffering.
I feel like a double head was tossed
Comparing the emotional impact to a double-headed coin toss, suggesting unpredictability.
Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love
Reiterating the theme of encountering a captivating soul and falling in love.
And you can't do a thing about it
Affirming the lack of control over the experience of falling in love.
(repeat 6 times)
