This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
I love you in the night
I'm gonna take it real, real slow (ooh)
I understand what you told me
And if I didn't know
I always wanted someone just like you
I really to hold you
I'd give the world to you, oh, my darlin'
You know I will, yeah, yeah
You know I will, I surely will
I will never do anything to hurt you
(I wouldn't do one single thing to you, babe)
I'll give all my love to you
(Gonna give every bit of my love, my love)
And if you need me, baby, I'll come runnin' (yes, I will)
Only to you (to you, my baby, yes, I will)
Why don't we just lay down, baby
And hold each other real, real close
'Cause I don't want to rush you, baby (no, no, no, no, no)
If time, if time is what you need the most
I always wanted to love you
You could make all my dreams come true
I want to love you, love you tonight, oh, my darlin'
Yes, I do (na-na), yeah, yeah, yeah
I will never do anything to hurt you
(I will never do one little thing to you, baby)
I'll give all my love to you
(And I'm gonna give you every little bit of my love tonight, girl)
And if you need me, baby, I'll come runnin'
(Oh, ho, yes, I will)
Only to you (only to you, baby, oh, oh, oh, I)
Mmm, mmm, now, now, now, now
Girl, I've been longing for you, baby, for a long, long time
Girl, let's make love tonight, babe
I can make you feel real good, baby
I can make you feel real good, baby
Sometimes, sometimes I get a little lonely, baby
(It gets so rough for me, baby)
And I need somebody I could call all mine
I need the love, so fine
So you are the one for me, baby
I know that you are the world for me, baby
(You are the world)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, whoa
I will never do anything to hurt you
(Ooh, baby, baby, baby)
I'll give all my love to you
And if you need me, baby, I'll come runnin'
Only to you

I understand what you told me
And if I didn't know
I always wanted someone just like you
I really to hold you
I'd give the world to you, oh, my darlin'
You know I will, yeah, yeah
You know I will, I surely will
I will never do anything to hurt you

Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
