Body and Soul
Heartfelt Longing: Stan Kenton's 'Body and Soul' Meaning Unveiled
Lyrics
My heart is sad and lonely
Expressing sadness and loneliness in the heart.
For you I sigh, for you dear only
Deep sighs are directed exclusively for the person addressed.
Why haven't you seen it
Questioning why the addressed person hasn't noticed the emotions.
I'm all for you body and soul
Declaring complete devotion, physically and emotionally.
I spend my days in longing
Days filled with yearning and confusion about the perceived wrongdoing.
And wondering why it's me you're wronging
Expressing genuine puzzlement about being treated unfairly.
I tell you I mean it
Affirming the sincerity of the feelings expressed.
I'm all for you body and soul
Reiterating unwavering commitment, encompassing both physical and emotional aspects.
I can't believe it
Expressing disbelief at the situation.
It's hard to conceive it
Highlighting the difficulty in comprehending the current circumstances.
That you'd turn away romance
Expressing surprise at the rejection of romantic advances.
Are you pretending
Pondering whether the rejection is genuine or just a facade.
It looks like the ending
Suggesting that the relationship seems to be reaching its conclusion.
Unless I could have just one more chance to prove, dear
Expressing a desire for another opportunity to prove love.
My life a wreck you're making
Describing life as disrupted and damaged by the actions of the addressed person.
You know I'm yours for just the taking
Affirming availability for the taking, emphasizing a willingness to be claimed.
I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul
Offering complete surrender, both physically and emotionally.
My life a wreck you're making
Repeating the sentiment of a disrupted life and reaffirming availability.
You know I'm yours for the very taking
Reiterating readiness to be claimed, emphasizing accessibility.
I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul
Reaffirming the offer of complete surrender, echoing the earlier sentiment.
