Body and Soul
Surrendering to Love: Decoding the Soulful Depths of 'Body and Soul' by Sarah Vaughan
Lyrics
My days have grown so lonely
Expressing a sense of loneliness and solitude in life.
For you I sigh, for you dear only
Conveying a deep yearning and longing specifically for the person addressed.
Why haven't you seen it
Questioning why the addressed person hasn't recognized the emotions being expressed.
I'm all for you body and soul
Declaring a commitment and dedication to the addressed person both physically and emotionally.
I spend my days in longing
Describing the speaker's daily experience of intense desire and yearning.
I'm wondering why it's me you're wronging
Expressing confusion and hurt over feeling wronged by the addressed person.
I tell you I mean it
Affirming the sincerity of the emotions being conveyed.
I'm all for you body and soul
Reiterating the dedication of the speaker's entire being to the addressed person.
I can't believe it
Expressing disbelief, possibly at a turn of events in the relationship.
It's hard to conceive it
Highlighting the difficulty in comprehending or accepting a certain situation.
That you'd turn away romance
Expressing disappointment at the prospect of the addressed person rejecting romantic feelings.
Are you pretending
Questioning whether the addressed person is merely pretending or being insincere.
It looks like the ending
Suggesting that the situation seems to be reaching its conclusion or end.
Unless I could have one more chance to prove, dear
Expressing a desire for another opportunity to prove the depth of feelings.
My life a wreck you're making
Describing the negative impact on the speaker's life caused by the addressed person.
You know I'm yours just for the taking
Affirming the speaker's commitment and availability to the addressed person.
Oh baby, you know I surrender myself to you
Expressing a surrender of oneself, both physically and emotionally, to the addressed person.
Body and soul
Reiterating the dedication of the speaker's entire being to the addressed person, using the metaphor "Body and soul."
