No One
Lonely Echoes: Ray Charles' Yearning Melody of Solitude and Love
Lyrics
(I need someone to say I do)
I long for someone to commit to a relationship with me ("say I do").
No one to cry to now, no one to say goodnight
I have nobody to share my sorrows with, and no one to bid farewell to at night.
No one to tell my troubles to
There's no one I can confide in or seek solace from in times of trouble.
I've got no one, to sigh to, no one to hold me
I lack someone to express my emotions to, and no one to embrace me tightly.
Tight
There's an absence of a person to provide comfort and physical closeness.
No one to cheer me when I'm blue
No one is there to support or uplift me when I'm feeling down.
When I go home to my lonely room
Returning home to a solitary room makes me feel lonely.
And find there's no one there
Finding no one in my room intensifies my sense of loneliness.
And each night I think of you, so please answer this
Every night, thoughts of a specific person (you) occupy my mind, leading to a prayer.
One prayer
Requesting a response to this heartfelt prayer.
And you'll need someone, I said to cry to
Emphasizing the need for someone to cry with during challenging times.
Someone to say I do
Expressing the desire for someone to commit to a lifelong partnership ("say I do").
Someone to whisper I love you
Wishing for someone to softly declare their love.
When I go home to my lonely room
Reiterating the loneliness experienced upon returning home.
And find there's no one there
Feeling the void of companionship during the nights spent thinking about a specific person (you).
And each night I think of you, so please answer this
Repeating the plea for a response to the heartfelt prayer.
One prayer
Reiteration of the need for someone to cry with in challenging times.
And you'll need someone, I said to cry to
Emphasizing the importance of having someone to share sorrows with.
Someone to say I do
Desiring commitment in a relationship with someone willing to say "I do."
Someone to whisper I love you
Expressing the longing for someone to softly declare their love.
