Your Sweet Love
Blue Dogs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I find myself thinking about the time you found me
I was lost until you came around
With your sweet love
In my dreams
Sometimes I think I feel you right behind me
And it seems it's just the little things that remind me
Just a fool
With wandering eyes
But I was blind
Until I realized
Your sweet love
Oh by and by
As my eye
Caught you walking by
Much to my surprise
Me with my disguise
You saw through it all
I never knew that something was wrong
Until your light came along
Sometime though the night builds walls around me
I try reaching out from a window inside me
Reach for you
Arms open wide
Promise me
Forever and besides
All I need
When I lay down at night
All I need
Is your sweet love
Your Sweet Love
The Blue Dogs's song "Your Sweet Love" is a ballad about the singer's love for someone who has saved him from the depths of despair. The verses describe a journey from being lost and lonely to feeling found and loved. The first verse uses night as a metaphor for depression or despair, a time when walls are built around the singer. However, he has found someone who has shown him love and brought him out of the darkness. The second verse is more dream-like, where the singer imagines feeling his love's presence even when they're absent. He recognizes that small things can trigger memories of their love and bring him comfort.
The chorus is the heart of the song, emphasizing the singer's feelings. He acknowledges that he was once a "fool with wandering eyes" but he was blind until he found his love. He sings praises to their "sweet love" and how it's all he needs, especially at night when the darkness can be overwhelming. In the bridge, he recalls the moment when he first saw his love and realized that something was missing from his life. He acknowledges that his love saw through his disguise, meaning that they could see who he truly was, and they still loved him.
