About You
CECILIO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'm not sure I really want to go without you
Our small moment that we shared
Is only yours and mine
No one else is really going to know
That I care about you
And all the questions that I asked myself about you
Won't you come and be with me
And then I think you'll know
That if you come and stay you're going to see
That I care about you
Won't you be a high for me
Take my hand and fly with me
Don't want you to cry for me at all
Would you sing your song to me
Tell me you belong with me
Tell me it's okay for me to fall
All the things you tell me with your eyes about you
And all it helped to make me realize I want you
Won't you come and help make up my mind
You know it's up to you
Follow me, I know that you will find
That I care about you
About you
The lyrics to Cecilio and Kapono's song "About You" express the singer's feelings towards someone that they care about deeply. The song conveys a sense of uncertainty and vulnerability. The singer admits to knowing everything there is to know about the object of their affection, but they are unsure if they want to go through life without them. The moments that they have shared together are precious, and the singer acknowledges that no one else really knows how much they care about this person.
The singer's questions about the person give them answers that do not make them doubt them, but they still need to make up their mind about what they want. They offer their hand and ask the person to come and fly with them, to be a high for them, and tell them that it is okay to fall. The singer is entranced by the person and asks them to sing their song to them and tell them that they belong together. The singer is seeking validation from the person they care about, but they are also expressing their own love and devotion, hoping that the other person feels the same.
Ultimately, "About You" is a tender and introspective love song that explores the complexity of romantic relationships. It shows how love can engender both confidence and doubt, and how the singer is trying to reconcile these opposing feelings. The gentle melody and harmonies add to the feeling of intimacy, creating a song that evokes strong emotions in the listener.

I grew up in Kailua in the 70s on KMCAS- My dad was a 30 year Marine veteran who died this year- This song makes me feel the innocence and beauty of that time- family friends- simple happy times just being with people who loved each other- that was enough- thank god I was able to experience real happiness in my life- thank you C&K! I love this song and YoU forever!

Beautiful! I was introduced to this music when I was stationed in Guam 89 to 93. Some of the best days of my life. Chamorros & Hawaiians are the nicest & kindest people that I have ever met.

Haven't heard this in 30 years. Seems appropriate to have two guys from Hawaii put together absolutely beautiful music - the sound track to paradise.
