Call Me
Astrud Gilberto Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you're feeling sad and lonely
There's a service I can render
Tell the one who loves you only
I can be so warm and tender
Call me, don't be afraid, you can call me
Maybe it's late, but just call me
Tell me, and I'll be around
When it seems your friends desert you
There's somebody thinking of you
I'm the one who'll never hurt you
Maybe that's because I love you
Call me, don't be afraid, you can call me
Maybe it's late, but just call me
Tell me, and I'll be around

Now don't forget me
Cause if you let me
I will always stay by you
You've got to trust me
That's how it must be
There's so much that I can do

If you call I'll be right with you
You and I should be together
Take this love I long to give you
I'll be at your side forever
Call me, don't be afraid, you can call me




Maybe it's late, but just call me
Tell me and I'll be around

just sayin


on Who Needs Forever?

The lyrics of Astrud Gilberto's song "Who Needs Forever?" suggest that time is fleeting and that we should seize the moment instead of worrying about what the future holds. The repetition of the question "Who needs forever?" implies that forever is not a necessary or even desirable outcome. Instead, the song encourages the listener to focus on the present and appreciate the moment, rather than getting lost in concerns about the future.


The lines "Time goes so fast, Don't waste this moment, Let's live this moment like it's the last" evoke the idea of carpe diem, or seizing the day. The idea of living in the moment and not worrying about the future is a recurring theme in literature and music, and it is particularly relevant in a fast-paced world where time seems to slip away all too quickly.


Overall, the lyrics of "Who Needs Forever?" encourage us to enjoy the present moment and not worry about what lies ahead. The song suggests that life is short and that we should make the most of every moment.

this is not the original Song of Astrud Gilberto, the Lyrics are here only fragments of the original Song of Astrud Gilberto

I prefer this Remix of Thievery Corpartion more, but here us the original Songtext of the original Song of Astrud Gilberto

[Verse 1]
Who needs forever? Love me today
Let's forget tomorrow, it's too far away

[Chorus]
So hold me, don't waste this moment
Let's live this moment like it's the last
Time goes so fast

[Verse 2]
Love shouldn't linger, love shouldn't wait
When fates allow a choice of now or never
Who needs forever?

[Chorus]
So hold me, don't waste this moment
Let's live this moment like it's the last
Time goes so fast

[Verse 3]
Love shouldn't linger, love shouldn't wait
When fates allow a choice of now or never
Who needs forever?
Forever, forever
