So Much to Say
Love's Urgent Whisper: Rod Stewart's Unspoken Longings
Lyrics
So much to say and so little time to say it in
Expressing the feeling of having a lot to communicate but limited time to do so.
I've got so much to say, baby, ha
Reiteration of having a significant amount to say, emphasizing the emotional intensity.
But so little time to say it in
Repeating the idea of having insufficient time to express the thoughts and emotions.
But whatever I tell ya'
Regardless of what is said, there is a hope for compliance or understanding.
I hope that you will obey
Expressing a desire for the listener to follow or heed the communicated message.
Now listen
Introduction or transition to a new phase in the communication.
Say your prayers every night
Encouraging the listener to engage in nightly prayers.
And be so good while I'm away
Requesting good behavior during the speaker's absence.
Now listen here
Transition or emphasis on the importance of the following message.
Say your prayers every night
Reiteration of the request for nightly prayers and good conduct in the speaker's absence.
and be so good while I'm away
Emphasizing the need for adherence to the previous request.
Because you know I won't be gone for long
Assuring that the speaker will return soon, indicating a temporary separation.
I'll be back home with you one of these little old days, hmm-mm
Anticipating a return home in the near future, emphasizing the brevity of the separation.
I know, I know, I know
Repetition of acknowledgment or affirmation.
As I'd have said so many times
Reflecting on having expressed similar sentiments many times before.
I got so much to say and so little time to say it in
Reiteration of having much to say but limited time to say it.
So much to say and so little time to say it in
Repeating the theme of having a significant message to convey within time constraints.
And I know you'll be be a good little girl
Expressing confidence in the listener's good behavior during the speaker's absence.
while I'm away
Reiterating the request for positive conduct while away.
Oh yeah hmm
Confirming the expectation of a positive outcome during the speaker's absence.
