I Won't Stand Between Them
Bonnie St. Claire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I let him go, though I know
That my heart is screaming 'no'
Anyway, it's better so
I won't stand between them

But it's alright, I step aside
Let his arms now hold her tight
I'll be strong, my tears I hide
I won't stand between them

Someday he'll wonder
Have I done right?
I hope he'll come
Any day or night

I must be wise, I saw his eyes
Watching her, she's looking so nice
And my heard is cold as ice
I won't stand between them

I let him go, though I know
That my heart is screaming 'no'
Anyway, it's better so
I won't stand, no, I won't stand

I won't stand between them!





It's alright, I'll step aside
Let his arms now hold her tight

Heerlijk, even terug naar je jeugt. Gouwe tijd eind jaren 60 en begin jaren 70.
Menig jongen was behoorlijk verliefd op Bonnie. Ze zong ook best wel lekker.
