Song for You
Carter Ron Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And never get love
You'd better let love depart
I know it's so, and yet I know
I can't get you out of my heart
You made me leave my happy home
You took my love and now you're gone
Love brings such misery and pain
I guess I'll never be the same
Since I fell for you
Well, it's too bad
And it's too sad
But I'm in love with you
You love me, then you snub me
But what can I do?
I'm so in love with you
I guess I'll never see the light
I get the blues most every night
Since I fell for you
Since I fell for you
These lyrics, from Carter Ron's song "Song for You," reflect the confusing and painful feelings that arise when someone loves another person who does not love them back. The first verse explains how it's better to let love depart when it's not reciprocated - giving love without receiving it can be a painful experience. Yet, despite this knowledge, the singer cannot get the person he loves out of his heart. The second verse reveals that the object of the singer's affection has taken his love and left him, causing him to leave his happy home. The pain of this unrequited love has changed him, and he knows he'll never be the same.
In the chorus, the singer laments the misery and pain that come with love, acknowledging that he'll never see the light and gets the blues every night because he fell for this person. The final verse captures the paradox of being in love with someone who snubs you - it's too bad and too sad, but the singer cannot help his feelings. He concludes by admitting that he's so in love with this person, even though they do not love him back.

When you just give love
When you give love without receiving any in return
And never get love
And you don't receive any love in return
You'd better let love depart
It's better to let go of that love
I know it's so, and yet I know
I acknowledge that it's true, but still can't help it
I can't get you out of my heart
I still have strong feelings for you
You made me leave my happy home
You caused me to leave my happy life behind
You took my love and now you're gone
You took my love and left me behind
Since I fell for you
Ever since I fell in love with you
Love brings such misery and pain
Love can cause so much suffering
I guess I'll never be the same
I don't think I'll ever recover or feel the same again
Well, it's too bad
Unfortunately,
And it's too sad
It's a very sad situation
But I'm in love with you
But I still love you despite everything
You love me, then you snub me
You show me affection, then ignore me
But what can I do?
But I feel powerless to do anything about it
I'm so in love with you
I'm deeply in love with you
I guess I'll never see the light
I don't think I'll ever find happiness again
I get the blues most every night
I'm sad and downhearted every night
Since I fell for you
Ever since I fell in love with you

He estado en muchos lugares en mi vida y mido el tiempo
he cantado muchas canciones y he hecho algunas malas
he representado mi vida en etapas
con diez mil personas mirándome
oh, pero estamos solos ahora
y estoy cantando esta canción para ti.
sé que la imagen que tienes de mi es la que yo espero ser,
te he tratado de mala manera.
Pero nena, no puedes ver
que no hay nadie más importante para mí,
así que querida, por favor no puedes ver a través de mi,
porque estamos solos ahora
y estoy cantando mi canción para ti,
tu me enseñaste que los preciosos secretos
de un amor verdadero que no retenía nada
tu saliste al frente
cuando yo me ocultaba, yeah
pero es tanto mejor ahora tanto que
si mis palabras no vienen absolutamente juntas
escucha esta melodía
porque mi amor está en ella, oculto en algún lugar.
Te amo, en un lugar donde no hay espacio o tiempo,
te amo para mi vida,
tu eres mi amiga,
y cuando mi vida acabe
Recuerda cuando estuvimos juntos
y estamos solos ahora,
y estuve cantando mi canción para ti,
y cuando mi vida acabe,
recuerda cuando estuvimos juntos
Estamos solos, y estuve cantando mi canción para ti.
cantando mi canción, estoy cantando mi canción para ti.

Before Jaco Pastorius, Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller and the other great players, there was the once-in-a-generation player, Ron Carter. Even Buster Williams would agree. Ron's legacy follows that of the great ones before him like Charles Mingus, Ray Brown, Oscar Petitford, and Paul Chambers.

This was a DELIGHTFUL surprise. I've been a Ron Carter fan for many years but had never considered this tune for string bass but it is perfect. I am going to have to learn it. Another good reason to be a Ron Carter fan.

As Gil scott song’s on ‘Is that jazz’ : Brother Ron gets it on with a bassline so strong.
That the sounds seem to glow in the dark..

Wonderful rendition.

Esta es una versión extraordinaria de una canción clásica, interpretada a su vez, por un músico extraordinario y por si fuera poco, un extraordinario bass player. El señor Ron Carter is a great musician, this is a great song and a great bass arrangement. Make me feel very happy.
Reuben Stump
Mr. Carter has got so many chops. He can make the bass sing a song.
