Special Lady
Carl Thomas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I didn't care
Well, these are just a few words
To let you know how I feel
Hey, yeah
(Let me be the first to let you know)
Oh, I had an awful dream
So I over came the distance
That challenged my persistence
I let my ego go and drowned my pride
And you ask why
You're such a special lady
Though I haven't told you lately
So let me be the first to let you know
Such a special lady
Though I haven't told you lately
So let me be the first to let you know
One more thing I need to say
Is that I need you every day
It's not the same 'till you come back to me
Girl I've loved you from conception
So if you follow my direction
I'll lead you where you always need to be
Right next to me, oh
You're such a special lady
Though I haven't told you lately
So let me be the first to let you know
Such a special lady
Though I haven't told you lately
So let me be the first to let you know
Let me be the first to let you know
I appreciate the things you do for me
When you're loving me at night
Let me be the first to let it show
I'd show the way to go
'Cause every waking move is oh so right
You're such a special lady
Though I haven't told you lately
So let me be the first to let you know
Such a special lady
Though I haven't told you lately
So let me be the first to let you know

Line by Line Meaning
Baby, for every time that you felt love was taken for granted
I know there were times I took your love for granted and didn't show appreciation
And I didn't care
I was careless and didn't pay attention to your needs
Well, these are just a few words
This is a small gesture to convey my feelings, but it comes from the heart
To let you know how I feel
I want to express my true emotions to you
Oh, I had an awful dream
I had a nightmare where I lost you to someone else
That you were needing someone else's love to take the place of mine
I feared that you were seeking someone else's affection instead of mine
So I over came the distance
I overcame the physical and emotional distance between us
That challenged my persistence
I was determined to fight for us despite the obstacles we faced
I let my ego go and drowned my pride
I put my ego aside and humbled myself to show you how much I care
And you ask why
You may wonder why I'm expressing myself now, but it's because I love you
You're such a special lady
You are an amazing and unique woman
Though I haven't told you lately
I may have not said it recently, but I always think it
So let me be the first to let you know
I want to be the one to remind you just how special you are
One more thing I need to say
There is one more thing that I have to express to you
Is that I need you every day
I cannot go a day without you by my side
It's not the same 'till you come back to me
My life feels incomplete without your presence
Girl I've loved you from conception
I have loved you since the moment I first met you
So if you follow my direction
If you trust and believe in me, I will lead us to a better future
I'll lead you where you always need to be
I will guide you to the place where you are happiest and fulfilled
Right next to me, oh
Right by my side, where you belong
I appreciate the things you do for me
I am grateful for all the kind and loving things you do for me
When you're loving me at night
When we are together and showing love to each other
Let me be the first to let it show
I want to be the one to take the initiative and express my love for you openly
I'd show the way to go
I will guide us and show us the path to take in our relationship
'Cause every waking move is oh so right
With you by my side, every decision and moment feels perfect and fulfilling
