Where Are You Now
譚詠麟 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Once, this was our favorite place
Once, we′d often come on a date
Then we'd sit watching the ships
Sail into the evening mist

You would always smile like a child
As you′d look out at the beautiful lights
And you'd say, maybe someday
You would sail away

Where are you now, my love?
I can't help but think about you
I sit alone each night and look at the lights
Dreamin′ of times, how it used to be

Where are you now, my love?
I just can′t go on without you
All alone since you've gone across the sea
Where are you now?
Where are you now?

Once, the harbor lights held a charm
Once, I held you close in my arms
And we′d dream as lovers dream
Of the places we would see

Now, alone in our favorite place
I can't wipe the tears from my face
As the sun begins to set
On another day

Where are you now, my love?
I can′t help but think about you
I sit alone each night and look at the lights
Dreamin' of times, how it used to be

Where are you now, my love?
I just can′t go on without you
All alone since you've gone across the sea
Where are you now?
Where are you now?

Where are you now, my love?
I can't help but think about you
I sit alone each night and look at the lights
Dreamin′ of times, how it used to be

Where are you now, my love?
I just can′t go on without you
All alone since you've gone across the sea




Where are you now?
Where are you now?

Line by Line Meaning

Once, this was our favorite place
There was a time when this place was special to both of us


Once, we′d often come on a date
We used to come here a lot when we were dating


Then we'd sit watching the ships
We'd sit and watch the boats go by


Sail into the evening mist
As they would disappear into the sunset


You would always smile like a child
You had a childlike happiness about you


As you′d look out at the beautiful lights
As you gazed out at the pretty lights


And you'd say, maybe someday
You used to say that one day it could be us sailing away


You would sail away
You had a dream of sailing away somewhere


Where are you now, my love?
I wonder where you could be now, my darling


I can't help but think about you
You're always on my mind


I sit alone each night and look at the lights
Each night I'm here alone, watching the lights


Dreamin′ of times, how it used to be
Thinking back to the good times we had


I just can′t go on without you
I can't keep living without you beside me


All alone since you've gone across the sea
Ever since you left for the ocean, I've been lonely


Once, the harbor lights held a charm
There was something enchanting about the lights on the water


Once, I held you close in my arms
I miss holding you tightly in my embrace


And we′d dream as lovers dream
We used to have grand plans for our future together


Of the places we would see
All the amazing sights we would witness


Now, alone in our favorite place
Now I'm here all by myself in the place we loved


I can't wipe the tears from my face
I'm crying so hard that my tears won't stop


As the sun begins to set
As the sky starts to turn orange and pink


On another day
Just like every other day without you

just can't go on without you All alone since you've gone Across the sea Where are you now Where are you now Once the harbor lights held a charm Once I held you close in my arms And we'd dream as lover's dream Of the places we would see Now alone in our favorite place I can't wipe the tears from my face As the sun begins to set On another day
