I Wonder Who
Love's Echo: Unraveling Heartache in Ray Charles' Melody
Lyrics
You have loved lots of girls in the sweet long-ago
You have loved many girls in the distant past.
And each has meant heaven to you
Each of them has been incredibly special to you, akin to heaven.
You have vowed your affection to each one in turn
You've pledged your affection to each of these girls one by one.
And have sworn to them all you'd be true
You've promised them all that you'd be faithful.
You have kissed 'neath the moon while the world seemed in tune
You've shared romantic moments under the moon when everything felt perfect.
Then you've left her to hunt a new game
However, you've moved on to pursue new relationships.
Does it ever occur to you later, my boy
Reflecting on your actions, do you realize that they might be doing the same?
That she's probably doing the same?
If you want to feel wretched and lonely and blue
Imagine the girl you love the most being with someone else.
Just imagine the girl you love best
Envision her in the arms of another, stealing a kiss that was once yours.
In the arms of some fellow who's stealing a kiss
From the lips that you once tenderly pressed.
From the lips that you once fondly pressed
But the world moves apace and the loves of today
It's impossible to predict who might be kissing her at any given moment.
Flit away with a smile and a tear
Or who you might be kissing in the coming year.
So you can never tell who's kissing her now
Or just whom you'll be kissing next year
-I wonder who's kissing her now
Expressing curiosity about who is currently kissing the girl.
I wonder who's teaching her how
Wondering who is guiding her and teaching her about love now.
I wonder who's looking into her eyes
Curious about who is looking into her eyes, breathing sighs, and possibly telling lies.
Breathing sighs, telling lies
I wonder who's buying the wine for lips
Contemplating who is now buying wine for the lips that used to be yours.
That I used to call mine
Reflecting on whether she shares memories of you with her current partner.
I wonder if she ever tells him of me
I wonder who's kissing her now
Wondering who is currently sharing intimate moments with her.
