Leaving Song
Embracing Memories: A Melodic Reflection on Love and Loss
Lyrics
And everytime I think of you
Reflecting on thoughts about you whenever you come to mind
I'll remember all the good times that we've had
Recollection of enjoyable moments shared together
And everytime I sing this tune
Association of a particular tune with memories
I will laugh, I will cry,
Expressing emotions through laughter and tears
I will close my eyes
Immersing into emotions by shutting the eyes
'Cause I know that it won't be long
Awareness that the separation won't last indefinitely
Until we sing, we will write,
Anticipation of future shared activities: singing, writing, laughing together
We will laugh away the night
Planning to enjoy the night with laughter
And the good times will never end
Belief that the enjoyable times will persist
When we meet again
Hopeful anticipation of reuniting
And I'm gonna be somewhat lonely
Expectation of feeling somewhat lonely in your absence
'Cause you know no one could ever fill your shoes
Acknowledgment of your irreplaceable presence and influence
As iron sharpens iron
Comparing the impact of your influence to the sharpening effect of iron
You have tought me how to be a stronger man
Recognition of how you've contributed to becoming stronger
And I look forward to the day I'll learn again
Desire to continue learning from you in the future
We will sing, we will write,
Planning for future shared activities despite the separation
We will laugh away the night
Intention to cherish moments with laughter
And I know that it won't be long,
Belief in the eventual reunion despite the current distance
Until we meet again
Anticipation of meeting again
Though I wish that I were with you now
Expressing the desire to be together at present
I know there's a reason for space
Acceptance of the necessity of separation for a purpose
I can dream of memories you're writing down
Imagining and holding onto memories being created during the separation
And I look forward to that day
Looking forward to a future moment with happiness reflected in your expression
And the smile on your face
We will sing, we will write,
Planned continuation of shared activities including potential conflicts
We might cry and we might fight
Understanding that the enjoyable times will persist
And the good times will never end
Belief in the continuity of joyous moments
We will laugh, we'll relax,
Desire to relax and reminisce about the past years together
We'll reflect on the years we've past
Belief in the eventual reunion despite the current distance
And I know that it won't be long,
Awareness that the separation won't last indefinitely
Until we meet again
Anticipation of meeting again
