I'll Take You Where the Music's Playing
Dancing Through Heartbreak: Rediscovering Joy in Melodies
Lyrics
Hey, little girl
Greeting to the girl
I hear somebody broke your heart
Acknowledgment of someone hurting her emotionally
I hear that he cheated and lied to you
Heard about the dishonesty and betrayal from the beginning of the relationship
Right from the start
Highlighting the initial deception
But it's gonna be all right
Reassurance that things will be okay
Put on your red dress, tonight, yes
Suggesting dressing up and going out
And I'll take you where the music's playing, baby
Promising to take her to a place with music
Take you where the lights are dim
Desire to go where there's softer lighting
Take you where the music's playing, baby
Reiteration of going where music is playing to help her heal
Little by little, I'm gonna help you forget about him
Commitment to assisting her in forgetting the past relationship gradually
I've been your friend
Previously a friend, now seizing the chance to be more
But now is my opportunity
Seeing an opportunity to show deeper care
And I'm gonna show you
Determination to demonstrate great friendship
Just how good a friend can be
Commitment to being a supportive friend
I know what he's put you through
Acknowledgment of her pain caused by the ex-partner
But I'll make it all up to you, girl
Expressing intention to make amends for the hurt
And I'll take you where the music's playing, baby
Reiteration of taking her to a musical place
Take you where the lights are dim
Desire for a setting with softer lighting
Take you where the music's playing, baby
Repeated commitment to using music to help her heal
Little by little, I'm gonna help you forget about him
Reassurance of gradual healing from the past relationship
They got red lights and green lights
Description of the venue's lighting
Shining from the ceiling
Detailing the ambiance of the place
I know, that you'll lose
Assurance of her overcoming loneliness there
That sad and lonely feeling
Belief in her leaving behind sadness in that setting
Oh, I'm gonna take you where the music's playing, baby
Reiteration of the intention to take her to a musical place
Take you where the lights are dim
Desire for a setting with softer lighting
Take you where the music's playing, baby
Continued commitment to using music to aid her recovery
Little by little, I'm gonna help you forget about him
Reassurance of gradual healing from the past relationship
Take you where the music's playing, baby
Repeating the promise to take her to a musical place
Take you where the lights are dim
Desire for a setting with softer lighting
Take you where the music's playing, baby
Final reaffirmation of using music to aid her recovery
