Unchained Melody
Unveiling the Soul's Longing: Sonny & Cher's Unchained Melody
Lyrics
Oh, oh my love
Expressing affection and addressing the beloved.
My darling
Reiterating affection and endearment.
I've hungered for your touch
Longing for physical closeness and contact.
A long and lonely time
Describing a period of extended solitude and yearning.
Time goes by so slowly
Emphasizing the subjective experience of time passing slowly.
And time can do so much
Reflecting on the transformative power of time and its impact on emotions.
Are you still mine
Possessiveness and questioning the current status of the relationship.
I need your love
Expressing a strong desire for the partner's love.
I need your love
Repetition for emphasis, underscoring the urgency of needing love.
God speed your love to me
Invoking a higher power to facilitate the arrival of love.
Lonely mountain's gaze
Shifting to a metaphor of a lonely mountain observing the sea.
At the sea, at the sea
Repetition of the sea as a focal point of contemplation.
At the lonely open arms of the sea
Describing the sea as lonely with open arms, possibly symbolizing longing.
All one I gaze at the sea, at the sea
Repetition, emphasizing the focus on the sea in solitude.
All lone I gaze at the sea faithfully
Reiteration of gazing at the sea faithfully, indicating constancy.
Oh, oh my love
Returning to the theme of love and longing for the beloved.
Oh my darling
Reaffirming affection and endearment.
I've hungered for your touch
Reiterating the desire for physical closeness and touch.
A long and lonely time
Recalling a prolonged period of loneliness and yearning.
And time goes by so slowly
Re-emphasizing the subjective experience of time passing slowly.
And time can do so much
Reiterating the transformative power of time on emotions.
Are you still mine
Questioning the status of the relationship, echoing possessiveness.
I need your love
Expressing an intense need for the partner's love.
I need your love
Repetition for heightened emotional emphasis.
God speed your love to me
Invoking a divine blessing for the swift arrival of love.
