Body and Soul
Yearning Melody: Red Garland's Body and Soul Unveiled
Lyrics
My heart is sad and lonely
Expressing sadness and loneliness in the heart.
For you I sigh, for you dear only
Longing specifically for the person addressed, expressing deep affection.
Why haven't you seen it
Questioning why the addressed person hasn't noticed the emotional state.
I'm all for you body and soul
Declaring a complete dedication of self—mind and body—to the addressed person.
I spend my days in longing
Spending days in a state of yearning, questioning the reasons for being wronged.
And wondering why it's me you're wronging
Expressing sincerity and insisting on the emotional commitment declared earlier.
I tell you I mean it
Reiterating the commitment and emotional investment.
I'm all for you body and soul
Stating unwavering dedication to the person addressed, body and soul.
I can't believe it
Expressing disbelief, finding it hard to accept the situation.
It's hard to conceive it
Highlighting the difficulty in comprehending the turn of events.
That you'd turn away romance
Expressing surprise or disappointment at the rejection of romance.
Are you pretending
Posing a question about the sincerity or authenticity of the addressed person's feelings.
It looks like the ending
Suggesting that it seems like the relationship is coming to an end.
Unless I could have just one more chance to prove, dear
Expressing a desire for another opportunity to prove love and commitment.
My life a wreck you're making
Describing the impact on life caused by the turmoil in the relationship.
You know I'm yours for just the taking
Affirming availability and willingness to be taken by the addressed person.
I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul
Reiterating a complete surrender of self to the person, body and soul.
My life a wreck you're making
Repeating the sentiment about life being in disarray due to the relationship.
You know I'm yours for the very taking
Reaffirming readiness to be taken by the addressed person.
I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul
Restating the willingness to surrender completely to the person, body and soul.
