Be My Day
Cats Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rock me from the bay of Mexico
I row me to the shores of Montego bay.
I met a lady
Please let me stay.
Here in your warm brown arms
Till I melt away.
Be my day
Honey be my night.
If I drift away
Honey be my light.
Shine on
Let your light shine on.
And I will sail on home.
Shine on
Let your light shine on
And I will sail on home.
Sing a la la la
And I sing hey
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
And I will sail on home
Sing a la la la
And I sing hey
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah.
The lyrics of Cats’ “Be My Day” are poetic and romantic with a Caribbean setting. The song starts with the singer mentioning that they rode to the shores of Montego Bay in the bay of Mexico. While there, they met a lady who they want to stay with until they melt away. They ask her to be their day and night, to be their light if they drift away, and let her light shine on as they sail on home. The song ends with a repetitive chorus of “sing a la la la” and “I sing hey” as they sail on home.
The song relies heavily on a romantic setting and metaphors to convey a message of love and longing. The singer is in search of someone to take care of them, to be their light in dark times, and to guide them back home safely. The song also exudes a laid-back vibe that is typical of Caribbean cultures. The rhythm is slow and melodic, which adds to the romantic and chilled-out ambiance of the song.
