Overjoyed
Bob Sutter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My castle of love
Just for two, though you never
Knew you were my reason
I've gone much too far for you
Now to say
That I've got to throw my
Castle away
Over dreams, I have picked out
A perfect come true
Though you never knew it was
Of you I've been dreaming
The sandman has come from
Too far away
For you to say come back some
Other day
And though you don't believe
That they do
They do come true
For did my dreams
Come true when I looked at you
And maybe too, if you
Would believe
You too might be
Overjoyed, over loved, over me
Over hearts, I have painfully
Turned every stone
Just to find, I had found what
I've searched to discover
I've come much too far for me
Now to find
The love that I sought can never
Be mine
And though you don't believe
That they do
They do come true
For did my dreams
Come true when I looked at you
And maybe too, if you
Would believe
You too might be
Overjoyed, over loved, over me
And though the odds
Say improbable
What do they know
For in romance
All true love needs is a chance
And maybe with a chance you
Will find
You too like I
Overjoyed, over loved, over
You, over you
In Bob Sutter's song "Overjoyed," the singer sings about a castle of love that he has been building for a special someone. The person may not know that they were the reason for the singer's love, and the singer has gone too far in building this love. The dreams that the singer had of this person have come true, but the distance has kept them apart. The singer has turned every stone in search of the love they sought but never found it. The singer wishes that the odds are not improbable for true love and that the chance would come for them to be overjoyed, over loved, and over the person they have been dreaming of.
The song "Overjoyed" was written by Stevie Wonder for his 1985 album In Square Circle. Sutter's version of the song was released in 2005 on his album titled When the Moment Comes. The lyrics of the song are emotional and express longing and lost love. The melody of the song is slow and melancholic, fitting perfectly with the lyrics.
Line by Line Meaning
Over time, I've been building
My castle of love
Just for two, though you never
Knew you were my reason
I've gone much too far for you
Now to say
That I've got to throw my
Castle away
I have been investing my time and effort to bring us together in a loving relationship. Sadly, you were unaware of my feelings and now, after going too far, I have to abandon my castle of love, built just for us.
Over dreams, I have picked out
A perfect come true
Though you never knew it was
Of you I've been dreaming
The sandman has come from
Too far away
For you to say come back some
Other day
In my sleep, I have imagined an ideal partner and it is you, although you never realized it. But the reality is that it's just a dream and impossible for you to come from so far away to make it come true.
And though you don't believe
That they do
They do come true
For did my dreams
Come true when I looked at you
And maybe too, if you
Would believe
You too might be
Overjoyed, over loved, over me
You may not believe in the power of dreams, but mine came true when I met you. Perhaps, if you believe in the possibility of love, you too can experience the happiness, affection, and admiration that come from loving me.
Over hearts, I have painfully
Turned every stone
Just to find, I had found what
I've searched to discover
I've come much too far for me
Now to find
The love that I sought can never
Be mine
I have done everything in my heart's power to find love and to find it with you. Unfortunately, I have come too far to realize that the love I craved can never be mine.
And though the odds
Say improbable
What do they know
For in romance
All true love needs is a chance
And maybe with a chance you
Will find
You too like I
Overjoyed, over loved, over
You, over you
The chances of us being together may seem unlikely, but who knows what could happen in matters of love. The truth is that genuine love only needs an opportunity to flourish. Perhaps, if you take a chance, you too will find that I can make you overjoyed, over loved, and over me.
