Cover art for Little Wing lyrics by Jimi Hendrix Experience, The

I believe it is about all the women (or perhaps just one) that come into your life that you love with all your heart and soul but for whatever reason you have to set free. Perhaps because you are a wanderer and they are not... Perhaps her dreams do not coincide with your own... or a myriad of reasons... So you set her free... She will go on her way without you, but she will always be a part of you. She is your Little Wing. Her memory alone lifts you. I have a girl in my life just like this. I love her with all my being, but i know we can't be together. And i want nothing but her to be happy.

My Interpretation

@Its2BeXped This is exactly what I feel listening to this song. Time goes by and you're fine however you're not really fine but you just have to live with it and accept reality. Maybe the song is just about that memory - "Her memory alone lifts you." It makes me sad and happy at the same time.
