The Light of Love
The Eternal Vigil of Love: Yearning Across Distances
Lyrics
Standing at the terminal I can almost hear the music
Anticipation and excitement at the airport, ready to reunite.
Coming from the cold and chilly L.A. night
Suggesting a contrast between the warmth of the music and the cold night in Los Angeles.
And when we get to the gate, baby
Arriving at the gate, hinting at a moment of decision or departure.
All of the things that were said
Reflecting on past conversations or conflicts.
Will they turn you 'round and bring you back?
Wondering if past issues will prevent the person from returning.
Will they bring you back?
Reiteration of the uncertainty and hope of the person's return.
Will you come back home 'cause you know I'm waiting?
Expressing eagerness for the person to come back home.
The light of love is always on
Emphasizing the enduring nature of love, implying it's a constant presence.
You know my love is getting stronger and stronger
Stating the love is growing stronger over time.
The light of love is always on
Reiterating the constant presence of love.
Keeping the night watch
Metaphorically "keeping watch" over the night, possibly waiting for the person's return.
Baby, are you lonely, don't talk to strangers
Expressing concern about the person feeling lonely and advising caution.
I'm trying to tell myself you won't be gone for long
Trying to reassure oneself that the separation won't be prolonged.
And when we get to the part where all of the tears start to come
Anticipating an emotional moment where tears might flow.
Will you turn around, get on the plane?
Pondering if the person will decide to return at the last moment.
Will it bring you back, will you come back home?
Questioning if the departure will be a temporary one.
'Cause you know I'm waiting
Reiterating the waiting and longing for the person's return.
The light of love is always on

You know my love is getting stronger and stronger
