Feel for You
Echoes of Empathy: Ron Sexsmith's Melody of Understanding
Lyrics
How I hate to see you this way
Expressing dislike or sadness about seeing someone in a distressed state.
I feel for you, Love
Sympathizing and expressing compassion for the person in distress.
Is there nothing I can say
Wondering if there's anything that can be said to bring comfort or happiness.
To cheer you up?
Expressing a desire to uplift the person's mood.
For I see your face
Observing the sadness on the person's face.
Is filled with so much sorrow
Noting the deep sorrow reflected in the person's facial expression.
Wish I could make it disappear
Expressing a wish to make the sorrow disappear.
Before this night is through with us
Expressing a desire to alleviate the sorrow before the night ends.
I feel for you, Love
Reiterating sympathy and compassion for the person.
How I've tried to see the good side
Reflecting on efforts to focus on the positive aspects of the situation.
I feel for you, Love
Expressing continued sympathy and compassion for the person.
You see all the years going by
Acknowledging the passage of time and its impact.
And you can't get off
Feeling stuck or unable to change the course of events.
But it's not that way
Contrasting the current situation with the perception of time passing.
Time is all we're taking
Emphasizing that time is the only thing progressing.
For our own sake
Suggesting that time is passing for personal well-being.
Just let it go
Advising to let go of negative emotions before they have negative consequences.
Before it makes a fool of us
Encouraging to release negative emotions before they impact the individuals involved.
Before its too late in the game
Warning about the potential regret if action is not taken soon.
To change anything
Questioning whether it's too late to make meaningful changes.
Is it too late in the game
Raising the question of the timing of potential changes in the situation.
To change anything?
Repeating the question of whether it's too late to make a difference.
How I hate to see you this way
Expressing continued discomfort at witnessing the person's distress.
I feel for you, Love
Reiterating sympathy and compassion for the person.
Is there nothing I can say
Expressing a desire to find words that can bring comfort or happiness.
To cheer you up?
Reiterating the wish to uplift the person's mood.
For I see your face
Observing the continued presence of sorrow on the person's face.
Is filled with so much sorrow
Noting the persistence of deep sorrow in the person's expression.
Wish I could make it disappear
Expressing a persistent wish to alleviate the sorrow.
Before this night is through with us
Reiterating the desire to bring comfort before the night concludes.
I feel for you, Love
Restating sympathy and compassion for the person.
Is it too late in the game
Repeating the question of whether it's too late to make meaningful changes.
To change anything?
Persisting in questioning the timing of potential changes in the situation.
