Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
When I think about your lovin', the Sunday evenings
The fun we use to share
Looking through the memories in my mind
Since I've laughed and cried and thought it over
Now I realize that it's never over only set aside
Oh it's you sweet baby
I will never be free from your embrace, sweet baby
Only hopin' it's not too late to try again
It's you sweet baby
Ever lost and captured by your smile, sweet baby
I will always be right there by your side, right by your side
Lyin' here alone I'm dreamin', my mind keeps wanderin'
My thoughts are only you
Wanderin' through the memories in my mind
How could love so real have turned so empty
I just keep wanderin' why
Will I ever find the love we share together you and I
Oh, it's you sweet baby
Though we've had such a long hard road to climb, sweet baby
Only hopin' it's not too late to try again
It's you, sweet baby
Won't you try and believe in what I say?, sweet baby
I will always be right there by your side, right by your side
Oh it's you sweet baby
I will never be free from your embrace, sweet baby
Only hopin' it's not too late to try again
It's you sweet baby
Ever lost and captured by your smile, sweet baby
I will always be right there by your side, right by your side
The fun we use to share
Looking through the memories in my mind
Since I've laughed and cried and thought it over
Now I realize that it's never over only set aside
Oh it's you sweet baby
I will never be free from your embrace, sweet baby
Only hopin' it's not too late to try again
It's you sweet baby
Ever lost and captured by your smile, sweet baby
I will always be right there by your side, right by your side
Lyin' here alone I'm dreamin', my mind keeps wanderin'
My thoughts are only you
Wanderin' through the memories in my mind
How could love so real have turned so empty
I just keep wanderin' why
Will I ever find the love we share together you and I
Oh, it's you sweet baby
Though we've had such a long hard road to climb, sweet baby
Only hopin' it's not too late to try again
It's you, sweet baby
Won't you try and believe in what I say?, sweet baby
I will always be right there by your side, right by your side
Oh it's you sweet baby
I will never be free from your embrace, sweet baby
Only hopin' it's not too late to try again
It's you sweet baby
Ever lost and captured by your smile, sweet baby
I will always be right there by your side, right by your side
