What Else Can I Say
Chicago Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't follow you there
What do you have in mind?
You know that I don't care
Where do you think I'm at?
I thought I made it clear
Please don't follow me back down
Early in the morning
Waiting for me to rise
The light of a new day dawning
Catches the sun in her eyes
Tonight, tonight, tonight
I'm standing here
And it's clear
I miss her
Tonight, she's so far away
What else can I say?
Because I know that she'll never let me down
And I know that she's gonna love me too
Tonight, tonight, tonight
I'm standing here
And it's clear
I need her
Tonight, she's so far away
What else can I say?
Because I know that she'll never let me down
And I know that she's gonna love me too
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Early in the morning
At the break of dawn
Waiting for me to rise
Anticipating my waking up
The light of a new day dawning
The start of a new beginning
Catches the sun in her eyes
Reflecting the sunrise in her gaze
Tonight, tonight, tonight
This very evening
I'm standing here
I'm present and alert
And it's clear
I know what I want
I miss her
I long for her presence
Tonight, she's so far away
She's not here to share this evening with me.
What else can I say?
I can't find any more words.

Yeah, yeah
An affirmation of agreement
Yeah, yeah, yeah

on Oh, Thank You Great Spirit
Great song and a fitting tribute to Jimi from his friend and fan Terry Kath, I've all ways believed the song was kind of a prospective of the dead, coming to the realization that they have crossed over and or no longer burden by all of life's problem's and pain's and are now free from all, and now overcome with gratitude to the Great Spirit , Greater of the universe and of life , GOD, that he is now free to fly the heavenly sky's , but ether way death or just a good night's sleep, great song.
