@[Kahiara:35260] Actually I think the husband passed away,
"She sang for you last night
She heard you were calling"
Many people say they have felt, heard, or seen their loved ones after they have passed.
"Don't be scared now
Close your eyes
She holds guard tonight
Go on forward no remorse
Life will take it's course"
This is said to the late husband by a third part (never named), who encourages him to pass on. Because life will eventually continue. The phrase "holds guard" refers to the ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake_(ceremony) ) which is a Christian ceremony held after someone dies. Now it is usually held right after the funeral, but in most celtiic countries the wake is held before the funeral.
"She danced with you last night so you will remember
All you have shared, a lifetime."
This sentence feels as if the only thing it wants to convey is their history together, namely, husband and wife. For the rest it just refers back to the first verse.
Who was there for you
When you needed a real man to hold?
And who was there for you
When you needed a shoulder to cry on?
Through all the men you supposedly have loved
I'm the only man that stayed be your side
I promise you baby 'till the day I die
Whenever you need me I'll be there
When you need me, oh, when you need me
When you need me, I'll be right there
When you need me, oh, when you need me
When you need me, oh
When you need me, oh, when you need me
When you need me, I'll be right there
When you need me, oh, when you need me, oh
Before you go to sleep don't forget to say a prayer
Say a prayer to the Lord above that he would keep us near
'Cause true love is hard to find, so baby, let's not waste no more time
Only God knows how much I really love you
I don't want nobody else but you, baby
When you need me I will be right by your side
When you need me I will be there before you can call me
When you need me you don't have to worry or cry
'Cause when you need me I will be there
I was blessed the day I found you, sometimes I just can't believe
That someone like you, so beautiful, can stay with a man like me
So, whatever made us sad in our past, let's put all that behind
'Cause what we share right now is a sacred vow
I'll be with you, I'll be with you, ooh baby, baby
When you need me I will be right by your side
When you need me I will be there before you can call me
When you need me you don't have to worry or cry
'Cause when you need me I will be there
You and I is all that we need, baby
So let's not look nowhere else, baby, for love
Satisfaction is what I'm guaranteed to give
So hold me, kiss me, never leave me baby
'Cause I promise, baby
I'll be right there for you before you call
I'll be right there for you, I'll hold you all night long
I'll be right there for you, I'll help you ease your pain
I'll be right there for you, I'll be there for you
I'll be right there for you to dry your eyes
I'll be right there for you sweet baby, don't you cry

Moyet later described how her song "Goodbye 70's" had been inspired by her disillusionment with how the late-1970s punk scene had turned out, saying, "'Goodbye 70's' is about punk and not caring how you were dressed, and then I discovered that so many of my friends that I'd thought it all really meant something to just saw it as another trend... That's what 'Goodbye 70's' was all about, about how sour the whole thing became."
