I Can Love You
Embracing the Depths of Love: The Oak Ridge Boys' 'I Can Love You' Explained
Lyrics
I know you like to be caressed
I understand that you enjoy being gently touched and embraced.
And to know that you've been missed
You appreciate knowing that you were missed by someone.
And to have love whispered
You desire to hear expressions of love whispered softly to you.
Softly in your ears
The intimacy of affectionate words directly spoken into your ears is meaningful to you.
And to feel the tenderness
You seek the tenderness and warmth felt after being kissed.
That you can feel when you've been kissed
Expressing affection in a way that makes you feel kissed and loved.
So gently that your eyes fill with tears
This tenderness may move you emotionally, bringing tears to your eyes.
I can love you i can hold you in my
Reassurance that the speaker is capable of loving and holding you.
Arms until I've loved you
A commitment to embrace and love you until satisfaction is achieved.
I know what feels good to you
The speaker is attuned to what brings you pleasure.
And how you like to feel
Understanding your preferences in how love feels to you.
I never could but still if you let me now
Despite past limitations, the speaker is willing to demonstrate love if given the chance.
I can show you how I can love you
Expressing the desire and capability to show love.
Sometimes you like to stand alone
Recognition that there are times when you prefer solitude.
Make a woman's feelings known
Asserting your right to communicate your feelings as a woman.
But often your as helpless as a child
Acknowledgment that vulnerability is not uncommon, even for strong individuals.
And I have seen your hungry eyes
Observation of your eyes revealing a longing for connection and love.
Betray your loneliness inside
Your eyes betraying the loneliness you may feel internally.
And beg someone to love you for a while
A plea for someone to love you, even if only for a brief period.
