I'll Be Waiting
Carr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stars have lost their meaning for me
I'll never be the same
Nothing's what it once use to be
And when the songbirds that sing
Tell me it's spring
I can't believe their song
Once love was king but kings can be wrong
There is such an ache in my heart
Never be the same since we're apart
Though there's a lot that a smile may hide
I know down deep inside
I'll never be the same never be the same again
I'll never be the same
Stars have lost their meaning for me
I'll never be the same
Nothing's what it once use to be
And when the songbirds that sing
Tell me it's spring
I can't believe their song
Once love was king but kings can be wrong
I'll never be the same
There is such an ache in my heart
Never be the same since we're apart
Though there's a lot that a smile may hide
I know down deep inside
that the pain of heartbreak is still present and has changed something fundamental within the singer.
The lyrics suggest that the singer has gone through a heartbreaking experience and that they know they can never return to the person they were before the event. The stars have lost their meaning and the world is different; nothing will ever be the same again. The mention of songbirds singing in the springtime also indicates a feeling of disconnection from the natural world and the beauty it once held for the singer.
The line "once love was king but kings can be wrong" suggests a disillusionment with the idea of love and romance. Perhaps the singer placed too much importance on love and now feels that it has let them down or led them astray. The repetition of "I'll never be the same" is haunting and emphasizes the deep impact that the heartbreak has had on the singer, leaving them forever changed.
Overall, the lyrical content of the song is deeply emotional and delves into the experience of heartbreak and the lasting effects it can have on a person's psyche. The song serves as a reminder that sometimes the wounds of love may never fully heal and can leave a person forever changed.

I'll never be the same
I've undergone a change that has left me forever transformed
Stars have lost their meaning for me
The things that once brought me joy and wonder no longer hold any significance
I'll never be the same
I cannot return to the way things were before
Nothing's what it once use to be
Everything around me has changed and become unfamiliar
And when the songbirds that sing
Even nature itself seems out of sync with my feelings
Tell me it's spring
The traditional signs of new beginnings do not cheer me up
I can't believe their song
I am unable to experience their happiness, which seems like a distant memory
Once love was king but kings can be wrong
Even the greatest and most powerful things can fail and crumble
There is such an ache in my heart
My pain is deep and persistent
Never be the same since we're apart
I have been irrevocably altered by the loss of a loved one
Though there's a lot that a smile may hide
Despite my attempts to put on a brave face, my true feelings are not easily concealed
I know down deep inside
My sadness is a fundamental part of me
I'll never be the same never be the same again
I have permanently changed, and there is no going back

f it takes forever I will wait for you
For a thousand summers I will wait for you
Till you're back beside me, till I'm holding you
Till I hear you sigh here in my arms
Anywhere you wander, anywhere you go
Every day remember how I love you so
In your heart believe what in my heart I know
That forevermore I will wait for you
The clock will tick away the hours one by one
Then the time will come when all the waiting's done
The time when you return and find me here and run
Straight to my waiting arms
If it takes forever I will wait for you
For a thousand summers I will wait for you
Till you're here beside me, till I'm touching you
And forevermore sharing your love

Vikki really does justice to the song.
Jennifer McMullen
How does Vikki Carr take standards that have been done by so many others and somehow "freshen" them? I really don't know, but she certainly does it every time. Fab song, fab singer, super fab photos, including several candid shots. Thanks, WCFL! You rock!
