Concentrate
C.J. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Whenever skies look gray to me
And trouble begins to brew,
Whenever the Winter winds become too strong,
I concentrate on you.

When fortune cries "Nay! Nay!" to me
And people declare "You're through!",
Whenever the blues become my only song,

I concentrate on you.

On your smile so sweet, so tender,
When at first your kiss I decline.
On the light in your eyes when I surrender,
And once again our arms intertwine

And so, when wise men say to me
That love's young dream never comes true,

To prove that even wise men can be wrong,
I concentrate on you.

Whenever skies look gray to me
When I am feeling sad and depressed

And trouble begins to brew,
And things start to go wrong

Whenever the Winter winds become too strong,
When life becomes harsh and tough to bear

I concentrate on you.
I focus my thoughts and feelings on you.

When fortune cries "Nay! Nay!" to me
When luck seems to turn against me

And people declare "You're through!",
And people say that I cannot succeed

Whenever the blues become my only song,
When I am feeling hopeless and melancholy

I concentrate on you.
I direct my attention towards you.

On your smile so sweet, so tender,
The memory of your kind and gentle smile

When at first your kiss I decline.
Even when I reject your advances

On the light in your eyes when I surrender,
The joy that I feel when I finally give in to you
