In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning
Chris Botti Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
While the whole wide world is fast asleep
You lie awake and think about that girl
But never ever think of counting sheep
Now when your lonely heart has learned his lesson
You'd be her's if only she would call
In the wee small hours of the morning
Now when your lonely heart has learned his lesson
You'd be hers if only she would call
In the wee small hours of the morning
That's the time you miss her most
For as now you miss her most
That's the time you miss her most of all
The lyrics of "In the Wee Small Hours" by Chris Botti feat. Sting describe a feeling of heartbreak and longing that is felt in the quiet moments of the night. The opening lines, "In the wee small hours of the morning, while the whole wide world is fast asleep," set the scene for a time of deep introspection, when the singer is left alone with their thoughts and feelings. The use of repetition in the last line, "That's the time you miss her most of all," emphasizes the depth of the singer's yearning for a lost love.
As the song progresses, the lyrics reveal that the singer has learned a lesson from the pain of their heartbreak - that they would be willing to try again with their former lover if only given the chance. The line "You'd be hers if only she would call" reflects the vulnerability and willingness to forgive that can come with a broken heart. The final repetition of "That's the time you miss her most of all" underscores the central theme of the song - the pain of loss and the longing for love.
Overall, "In the Wee Small Hours" is a powerful expression of the emotions that accompany heartbreak and unrequited love. The use of imagery and repetition creates a haunting and memorable portrait of a moment of deep sadness and longing.
