A Song for While I'm Away
A Melody of Love and Longing
Lyrics
These words I wrote, play and sing to you
Expressing that the words written, played, and sung are insufficient to convey the depth of love.
Do not convey the love I brought and bring to you
Reiterating that the song doesn’t fully capture the love brought and continuously given to the recipient.
For this is a song for while I'm away
Stating the song is dedicated for the time the singer is absent.
To say all the things I'd love to say
Expressing the wish to communicate unspoken sentiments through the song.
You are my life, my everything, you're all I have
Emphasizing the significance of the recipient as the singer’s entire world.
You are my hopes, my dreams, my world come true
Highlighting the recipient's importance, representing fulfillment of dreams and aspirations.
You're all I have
Reiterating the recipient's exclusivity in the singer’s life.
Please heed me now these words I have to say
Urging the recipient to pay attention to the forthcoming words.
Now I'm headed for the border
Indicating departure or leaving for another place.
You see this song it ends right at the start
Suggesting that the song's conclusion aligns with its beginning, implying a cyclic nature or lack of resolution.
I swore when I was younger
Referring to a past commitment to guard against emotional involvement.
No one would win my heart
Asserting a determination to keep one’s heart guarded.
And far away hills look greener still
Metaphorically portraying distant opportunities as more appealing.
But soon they'll all slip away
Conveying the fleeting nature of appealing opportunities.
It's then I'll be returning
Expressing a plan to return after exploring these distant opportunities.
And I'll be coming home to stay
Emphasizing a commitment to return home permanently.
You are my life, my everything, you're all I have
Reiterating the recipient's immense significance in the singer’s life.
You are my hopes, my dreams, my world come true
Highlighting the recipient as the embodiment of the singer’s aspirations and fulfillment.
You're all I have
Reiterating the exclusivity of the recipient in the singer’s life.
Please heed me now these words I have to say
Urging the recipient to pay attention to the forthcoming words, mirroring the earlier plea.
