Lyrics
How can I sleep tonight?
Expressing difficulty in sleeping due to anticipation or anxiety.
When I know that tomorrow I'll be miles away,
Acknowledging an upcoming physical separation and the emotional impact it will have.
And how can I leave if I know when I kiss you goodbye,
Questioning the ability to leave knowing it will cause the partner to cry when saying goodbye.
Baby you'll cry
Highlighting the emotional difficulty of parting with the partner.
Where do I find the words?
Searching for words to convey a hidden, vulnerable side that is affected by departures.
To convince you that there's a secret part of me,
Stating that there is a concealed aspect of the self that diminishes with each departure.
That dies every time I must pack up and walk out the door,
Describing the emotional toll of leaving and the desire for the partner in those moments.
When I'm wanting you more
Expressing a longing for the partner despite the necessity of leaving.
So while there's still time,
Advocating expressing love while there is still time, implying a sense of urgency.
Know that I love you,
Affirming love as a message to be conveyed before any potential separation.
Baby please hold me tight,
Pleading for physical closeness and reassurance from the partner.
Girl while there's still time
Reiterating the importance of expressing love within the available time.
If I could stop the dawn,
Contemplating the desire to halt time to avoid separation and longing.
Make the moon and the stars shine on forever more,
Wishing for eternal brightness and celestial beauty to persist for the partner.
And never again have to say how much I'm missing you,
Expressing a desire to avoid repeatedly articulating the pain of missing the partner.
But what can I do?
Conveying helplessness in the face of unavoidable separation.
So while there's still time,
Reiterating the urgency of expressing love within the limited time available.
Say that you love me,
Encouraging the partner to reciprocate the expression of love.
Baby please hold me tight,
Requesting physical closeness and reassurance from the partner.
Girl while there's still time
Emphasizing the importance of expressing love while time allows.
If I should go, if I should go,
Contemplating the possibility of departure and the potential loss of love.
There's a chance I could lose,
Acknowledging the risk of losing the most important love if departure occurs.
The love of my life, the love of my life,
Stressing the significance of the partner as the love of one's life.
Baby please don't make me choose
Pleading with the partner not to force a choice that may lead to losing them.
Believe me
Emphasizing sincerity and asking for belief and trust.
Trust me
Reiterating the plea for trust from the partner.
Let me inside
Asking for emotional intimacy and understanding from the partner.
And while there's still time,
Encouraging to focus on the present moment and not worry about the future.
Forget about tomorrow,
Suggesting to avoid conflicts and arguments, especially considering the limited time.
Baby please let's not fight,
Pleading to avoid fights and disagreements during the remaining time.
Not while there's still time
Reiterating the importance of harmony and love in the present moment.
While there's still time
Emphasizing the urgency of expressing love and maintaining a positive connection.
While there's still time
Repeating the message of expressing love and connection while time allows.
While there's still time
Continuing the emphasis on the urgency of expressing love and connection.
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Expressing emotions with an extended vocalization.
