I Want to Be with You
Yearning Hearts: Embracing Love Across Distance
Lyrics
There are things that must be done
There are responsibilities and tasks that need to be addressed.
That are not yet begun
Some things have not yet started but are required.
Things that I must do
There are obligations and actions I must undertake.
When I want to be with you
These tasks coincide with my desire to be with you.
Although we're far apart
Despite the physical distance, you remain in my thoughts.
You're with me in my heart
Your presence is felt emotionally even though we are apart.
No one else will do
No one else can replace you in my affections.
I just want to be with you
My sole desire is to be in your company.
I want to be with you
Expressing the longing to be with the person.
Can't you hear me?
Asking if the desire is heard or understood.
I need you near me
Emphasizing the need for the person to be close.
I want to be with you
Reiteration of the strong desire to be with the person.
I need you near me, my love
Stressing the necessity of the person's presence and love.
The two of us are one
Highlighting unity between the speaker and the person, possibly a child's mother.
Mother of my son
Acknowledging the person as the mother of their child.
No one else will do
Reiterating the exclusivity of the person in the speaker's affections.
I just want to be with you
Expressing the singular desire to be in the person's company.
I want to be with you
Repetition of the strong desire to be with the person.
Can you hear me?
Reiterating the question of whether the desire is heard.
I need you near me
Reemphasizing the necessity of the person's proximity.
I want to be with you
Restating the intense longing to be with the person.
I need you near me, my love
Conveying the continued need for the person's closeness and love.
