All I Think About Is You Lyrics

How can I run away from darkness
At the close of day
When all I think about is you?

Not knowing where I'm going
What am I to do
When all I think about is you?

I'll stand an hour knocking
Knowing that my heart is mocking me
She doesn't live here anymore

I don't know why I bother
What else can I do
When all I think about is you?

Dream maker, heartbreaker
How can dreams come true
When all I dream about is you?

I'll stand an hour knocking
Knowing that my heart is mocking me
She doesn't live here anymore

How can I run away from darkness
At the close of day
When all I think about is you?

Not knowing where I'm going
What am I to do
When all I think about is you?

I don't know why I bother
What else can I do
When all I think about is you?

Truly one of the hidden gems in all of popular music. The atmosphere of the song, not to mention Nilsson's wistful singing and lyrics, is simply transporting--to another era, to the purest feelings of longing and nostalgia, to some place beyond time or rational understanding. Absolutely essential.

I agree! I began looking up the writer of this song because it had the feeling of one of the classics circa 30's or 40's. Nilsson really captured the feeling of the old melodic beautiful tunes. Sorely missed.

Melancholic, wistful thoughts of someone. I thought perhaps his wife Una, the line "she doesn't live here anymore", doesn't seem to tie in with that however. As far as I know they lived together for years. Therefore perhaps could be about someone else, not sure. I think this is the best song he wrote, perfect vocals. Should have been a big hit record.
