Forty-Five Miles of Love: Embracing Blessings and Finding Joy
Lyrics
This could be a blessing in disguise
This situation might have unexpected positive outcomes.
I know that you've tried to think that maybe we were put here for a reason
Contemplating the purpose of our existence, suggesting a greater reason for being here.
Well I believe that you have to keep your head up
Encouragement to stay optimistic and resilient.
And just move on into the dark
Advocating moving forward despite uncertainty, heading into challenges.
With his love burrowed deep in your heart
Emphasizing the presence of love deeply embedded in one's heart.
Oh please don't fall asleep feeling
Request not to fall asleep with a sense of isolation or despair.
Like the only one left in the world who's alone
Expressing a feeling of being the last person left alone in the world.
'Cause you know that I am only forty-five miles away
Assuring that the speaker is only a short distance away (45 miles).
And I could be by your bedside in no time, singing you back to sleep
Offering to be present and comfort in difficult times.
So when I see you next time, sometime next week
Anticipating a future meeting and extending an invitation to believe in sincere efforts.
Take this as an invitation for you to believe that I'm trying my
Expressing commitment and dedication to making an effort.
Hardest to keep that rhythm of yours, that joy of your life safe
Promising to protect the recipient's happiness and the rhythm of their life.
Oh I swear that man was reborn into a boy
Suggesting a transformation from a man to a joyful, carefree boy.
A boy with a smile so cute he could crack you up
Describing the boy's charming smile that can lighten up even dark rooms.
Even in the darkest room
Highlighting the ability to bring joy even in challenging situations.
So when I call you on the phone don't say to me: "Al, I'm feeling lonely"
Requesting not to express feelings of loneliness during phone calls.
Well, Jenna, just tell me to say: "I want you to take that train tonight"
Encouraging the person to express a desire for the speaker's company.
Oh please Jen, don't leave me hanging on
Pleading not to keep the speaker in suspense or uncertainty.
'Cause I know tonight I could be by your bedside singing you to sleep
Expressing the possibility of being physically present to provide comfort at night.
(Goodnight)
Wishing a good night, possibly signaling the end of the conversation or day.
