You Belong to Me
A Love Across Continents: 'You Belong to Me' by Ringo Starr
Lyrics
See the pyramids across the nile,
Observing the pyramids across the Nile, suggesting a distant and exotic location.
See the sunrise on a tropic isle,
Noticing the sunrise on a tropical isle, evoking a picturesque and tranquil scene.
Just remember, darling, all the while,
An urging reminder to the beloved that they are always on the singer's mind.
You belong to me.
Affirmation of ownership or connection, expressing a sense of possessiveness or commitment.
See the jungle when it's wet with rain,
Depicting a wet jungle, possibly symbolizing challenges or difficulties in life.
See the ocean from a silver plane,
Viewing the ocean from a silver plane, suggesting a vast and distant perspective.
Just remember till you're home again,
A reminder to keep the singer in mind until returning home.
You belong to me.
Reiteration of the connection and ownership, emphasizing the belonging.
I'll be so alone without you,
Expressing the loneliness the singer will feel in the absence of the beloved.
Darling, you'll be lonesome too and blue.
Anticipating that the beloved will also experience loneliness and sadness.
See the market place in old Algiers,
Observing the market place in old Algiers, possibly another distant and exotic location.
Send me photographs and souvenirs,
Requesting tangible reminders like photographs and souvenirs from the distant place.
Just remember till your dream appears,
Reiterating the importance of remembering the connection until dreams are realized.
You belong to me.
Reaffirming the sense of belonging and connection.
Oh, I'll be so alone without you, ("oh, I will, honey")
Repeating the anticipated loneliness in the absence of the beloved.
Darling, darling, you'll be lonesome too,
Acknowledging that the beloved will also experience loneliness.
And you're gonna be blue.
Emphasizing that the beloved will feel sadness ('blue').
See the pyramids across the Nile,
Recalling the earlier mention of pyramids across the Nile, possibly for emphasis.
See the sunrise on a tropic isle,
Reiterating the sunrise on a tropical isle, reinforcing the idyllic imagery.
Just remember, darling, all the while,
Restating the persistent reminder of belonging throughout separation.
You belong to me,
Final affirmation of ownership and belonging.
You belong to me.
Reiteration of the enduring connection and belonging.
