Love's Melody: A Musical Journey of Connection and Freedom
Lyrics
Tell her, tell her what I'm thinkin'
Tell her the thoughts on my mind
Tell her, tell her what I'm dreamin'
Share the dreams I have
And, hey, she just might just understand
Expressing hope that she might comprehend
Baby would you listen to me
Requesting her attention
Come across the kitchen to me
Invite her to come closer
And I will tell ya best I can
Promising to explain as best as possible
'Bout how I know you love me
Talking about the certainty of her love
And how I want to love you back
Expressing a desire to reciprocate love
People, people, people, they make it sound so easy
Observing that people oversimplify matters
They say just do what your heart tells you to
Advice to follow one's heart
But sometimes you cannot feel it
Acknowledging difficulty in feeling the heart
Sometimes you cannot hear it
Noticing challenges in hearing the heart
Sometimes it won't talk back to you
Recognition that the heart doesn't always respond
And yeah I know you love me
Affirming knowledge of her love
And yeah I want to love you back
Expressing a reciprocal desire for love
And how I know you love me
Reiterating awareness of her love
And how I want to love you bad
Reaffirming the wish to love her deeply
Far away I hear the rhythm of a song
Sensing a distant musical rhythm
Far away I get the feeling I belong, and so do you
Feeling a sense of belonging far away
And it goes like this
Introduction to a specific rhythm
Oh no, no, don't want to leave you
Expressing a reluctance to part
Oh no, I want to keep you
Desire to retain and keep the person
Oh but I want to let you be
Simultaneously wanting to let the person be free
Oh no, I don't want to hear you
Reluctance to hear rejection
Say I don't want to be near you
Not wanting to be distanced
Oh but I've got to set you free
Understanding the necessity of setting free
And how I know you love me
Reiterating knowledge of her love
And how I want to love you back
Expressing the desire to reciprocate love
And yeah I know you love me
Reaffirming awareness of her love
And yeah I want to love you bad
Reiterating the strong wish to love her deeply
Far away I hear the rhythm of a song
Sensing a distant musical rhythm once more
Far away I get the feeling I belong, and so do you
Feeling a sense of belonging far away again
And it goes like this
Reiteration of the introduced rhythm
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Repetition of a musical refrain, possibly representing a universal, timeless connection
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
-La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
-La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
