By My Side
Eternal Yearning: Embracing Love in Valley Maker's Melody
Lyrics
When the sun lights up your face
Desiring the radiant joy expressed when seeing someone's face illuminated by the sun.
Don't give me time, don't give me space
Requesting immediate closeness and intimacy, avoiding distance or delay.
Just give me something that I can taste
Seeking a tangible, real experience or sensation akin to the feeling of being with the person.
Like you right by my side
Expressing the desire for the person to be physically present and close.
Like you right by my side
Reiterating the desire for the person to be physically present and close.
Oh, all my time these days
Allocating time solely to bring happiness to the person.
Just to put a smile on your face
Dedicated effort to bring a smile to the person's face.
Just to make those bad dreams fade
Intending to alleviate the person's distressing dreams or experiences.
I give and I take
Engaging in reciprocal actions of giving and receiving.
Yes now I give and I take
Continuing the cycle of giving and taking.
Oh, the worst of times
Referencing difficult or challenging periods.
Never known the best of them
Not experiencing the best of times but cherishing close friendships.
Only known the best of friends
Having primarily experienced strong friendships rather than ideal circumstances.
And the means unto my ends
Viewing relationships or actions as the means to achieve personal goals.
Yes now the means unto my ends
Continuing to perceive relationships or actions as instrumental to reaching goals.
Hear you sayin' baby please just try
Urging a request for effort and commitment from the partner.
Think about you every night
Constantly thinking about the person, indicating deep contemplation.
I think about everlasting life
Reflecting on the concept of eternal life, possibly linked to thoughts about the person.
And I watch those days go by
Observing time passing without active participation or involvement.
Yes now I watch those days go by
Continuing to passively witness the passage of time.
When the sun lights up your face
Reiterating the desire for the person's face illuminated by the sun.
Don't give me God, don't give me grace
Rejecting spiritual or divine intervention, desiring tangible experiences.
Just give me something that I can taste
Desiring concrete and tangible sensations or experiences.
Like you right by my side
Re-emphasizing the desire for the person to be physically present and close.
Like you right by my side
Repeating the longing for the person's physical presence.
I'm young in eternity
Feeling youthful in an eternal context, possibly contrasting with a more mature perspective.
I'm old in my father's face
Experiencing a sense of age or wisdom in familial connections.
I don't really mean what I say
Admitting that spoken words may not truly reflect inner thoughts or feelings.
But if I did, then would you stay?
Posing a hypothetical scenario questioning the partner's commitment.
Oh girl, if I did then would you stay?
Pleading for the partner to remain if the hypothetical scenario were real.
There's voices singing right with the Lord
Perceiving angelic or divine entities singing in harmony.
I hear he's swinging that holy sword
Hearing about the divine wielding a symbol of power and justice.
I heard he knew me before I was born
Believing in a predestined connection with the divine before birth.
I've been bought and worn
Feeling used or shaped by experiences and influences.
Yes now, I've been bought and worn
Acknowledging being impacted or influenced by life's events.
When the sun lights up your face
Desiring the person's physical presence and closeness again.
Don't give me time, don't give me space
Insisting on immediate proximity and intimacy without delay.
Just give me something that I can taste
Seeking tangible and experiential connection rather than spiritual grace.
Like you right by my side
Reiterating the longing for the person's physical presence and closeness.
When I still think about you every night
Continuing to think about the person intensely every night.
All my means and all my tries
Reflecting on efforts and attempts made for the relationship.
I think about everlasting life
Continuing contemplation about eternal life, possibly intertwined with thoughts of the person.
And I watch those days go by
Passively observing the passage of time without active engagement.
Yes now, I watch those days go by
Continuing to
