Baby Can I Hold You
Emotional Apologies and Unspoken Love: Vít Kotora's Touching Ballad
Lyrics
Sorry
Expressing regret or apology
Is all that you can't say
Apologizing is the only thing you struggle to say
Years gone by and still
A significant amount of time has passed
Words don't come easily
Communication is difficult, expressing oneself is a challenge
Like sorry, like sorry
Repetition of difficulty expressing regret or apology
Forgive me
Asking for forgiveness
Is all that you can't say
Forgiveness is the challenging thing to express
Years gone by and still
Significant time has passed since the need for forgiveness
Words don't come easily
Communication remains difficult, expressing oneself is still a challenge
Like forgive me, forgive me
Repetition of difficulty expressing forgiveness
But you can say baby
Introducing the term "baby" as a way to address the other person
Baby, can I hold you tonight?
Asking permission to hold the other person
Maybe if I told you the right words
Suggesting that the right words might make a difference
Ooh, at the right time you'd be mine
Implies a potential romantic connection if the right words are spoken at the right time
I love you
Expressing love
Is all that you can't say
Love is the challenging thing to express
Years gone by and still
Significant time has passed since the need to express love
Words don't come easily
Communication remains difficult, expressing love is still a challenge
Like I love you, I love you
Repetition of difficulty expressing love
But you can say baby
Reintroducing the term "baby" to address the other person
Baby, can I hold you tonight?
Asking permission to hold the other person, repetition from line 14
Maybe if I told you the right words
Repetition of suggesting that the right words might make a difference
Ooh, at the right time you'd be mine
Repetition of implying a potential romantic connection if the right words are spoken at the right time
But you can say baby
Reintroducing the term "baby" to address the other person, repetition from line 13
Baby, can I hold you tonight?
Repetition of asking permission to hold the other person, repetition from line 14 and 25
Maybe if I told you the right words
Repetition of suggesting that the right words might make a difference, repetition from line 15 and 26
Ooh, at the right time you'd be mine
Repetition of implying a potential romantic connection if the right words are spoken at the right time, repetition from line 16 and 27
You'd be mine
Repetition of the hopeful assertion that the other person could be theirs if the right words are spoken at the right time
