Wherever You Are
Eternal Longing: Love's Journey in 'Wherever You Are'
Lyrics
Once in a lifetime, love comes along
Love as special and rare, arrives only once in a lifetime.
And I know it's you that I'm waiting on
The singer is certain that their awaited love is the person they're anticipating.
And that sweet promise of our first kiss
The memory or anticipation of their first kiss holds a special significance.
Keeps me hanging on, through times like this
Despite difficult times, the memory of the first kiss sustains the singer's hope.
So wherever you are, I'm thinking of you
Expresses continuous thoughts about the person, regardless of physical distance.
I wonder if you're thinking of me, too
Reflects on whether the person they're thinking of is reciprocating those thoughts.
There's only so long, time can keep up apart
Time is a barrier but not permanent; implies a belief in reunion.
So until we meet, keep me in your heart
A plea to be remembered and held in the other's emotions until they meet.
Keep wishing upon that same ol' star
Encouragement to maintain hope and desires, symbolized by a recurring star.
And know that I love you, wherever you are
Assurance of love regardless of the physical distance or circumstances.
Can't say I know what you look like
Admits not knowing the person's appearance but feeling a deep emotional connection.
But you're in my heart, you're on my mind
Confirms the person's presence in the singer's thoughts and emotions.
And I feel your love deep down in my soul
The love is felt profoundly at a soul level, beyond physical presence.
When I finally find you, I'll just know
Confidence in recognizing the awaited love when they finally meet.
So wherever you are, I'm thinking of you
Reiteration of continuous thoughts about the distant person.
I wonder if you're thinking of me, too
Repeating the pondering of mutual thoughts between them.
There's only so long, time can keep up apart
Emphasizing that time apart has limitations; a reunion is anticipated.
So until we meet, keep me in your heart
A request to hold onto the singer emotionally until they meet.
Keep wishing upon that same ol' star
Encouragement to maintain hope, repeating the symbolism of the star.
And know that I love you, wherever you are
Reassurance of unwavering love regardless of physical distance.
So until we meet, keep me in your heart
Reiteration of the plea to be remembered emotionally until their reunion.
Keep wishing upon that same ol' star
Reinforcement of the encouragement to maintain hope and desires.
And know that I love you, wherever you are
Final reassurance of constant love regardless of their locations.
