Why Did You Leave
C.J. Lewis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That I'd ever meet one And such a sweet one
Till I met you
When did you leave heaven? How could they let you go?
How's ev'ry thing in Heaven? I'd like to know
Why did you trade Heaven for all these earthly things
Where di you hide your Halo?
Where did you lose your wings?
Have they missed you?
Can you get back in?
If Ikissed you would it be a sin?
I amonly human but you are so divine
When did you leave Heave, angel mine?
When did you leave heaven? How could they let you go?
How's ev'ry thing in Heaven? I'd like to know
Why did you trade Heaven for all these earthly things
Where di you hide your Halo?
Where did you lose your wings?
Have they missed you?
Can you get back in?
If Ikissed you would it be a sin?
I amonly human but you are so divine
When did you leave Heave, angel mine?
C.J. Lewis's "Why Did You Leave" is a song about a man who has fallen in love with an angel. The lyrics revolve around the man's curiosity about how the angel came to be on earth, and his desire to know more about her past life in heaven. He wonders why she would ever leave such a perfect place and asks how she could trade it for the imperfections of the world. He also asks about her halo and wings, expressing a desire to understand her true nature. The man is so captivated by the angel's beauty that he questions whether his love for her is a sin.
The lyrics are open to interpretation, but one possible meaning is that the song is about falling in love with someone who seems almost too perfect for this world. It’s about someone who exists on another level, someone who seems to bring a bit of heaven into the mundane world around them. It questions whether such a person can really fit into our earthly reality, and whether our love for them is compatible with our human existence. It's a song about longing and the hope that even though someone may seem beyond our reach, perhaps they will be gentle with our human flaws.
Interestingly, "Why Did You Leave" includes a sample of "When Doves Cry" by Prince. This sample appears throughout the song, adding a nostalgic touch to the melody. The song was released in 1994, and it became a hit in the UK, peaking at number four on the UK Singles Chart. Finally, it's worth noting that the song was also included in the soundtrack of the 1995 film "Hackers."
