JUDE
City Of Angels - Soundtrack Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can you tell me I want to believe
That you want to be with me forever
I need to know that you won't ever leave
And you won't run away from me never

I've been waiting for a long time
For the one who would be mine
I think it's time

Everything's all right
The way that you believe in me
It takes me through the night
I fall besides you softly singing
For the one who would be mine
I think it's time

In the morning, I see what you mean
Cause I don't want to make it without you
You've got me dreaming
And after you leave, when you're gone
I'm still thinking about you

I've been waiting for a long time
For the one who would be mine
I think it's time
I think everything's all right
The way that you believe in me
And it takes me through the night
I fall beside you softly singing

Na na na na na. Tomorrow is another morning
Na na na na na. Tomorrow is another morning

If you say you will be mine
I think it's time

I like to make it with my baby every night

Everything's all right
Every morning when I up
I fall into your eyes
I want to go
I believe we're gonna make it

Na na na na na. Tomorrow is another morning
Na na na na na. Tomorrow is another morning

If you're alone tonight
Believe me

I've been waiting for you
Everything's all right

Line by Line Meaning

Can you tell me I want to believe
Please assure me that you truly want to be with me

That you want to be with me forever
That you desire to spend the rest of your life with me

I need to know that you won't ever leave
I crave the certainty that you will never abandon me

And you won't run away from me never
And you will never escape from me

I've been waiting for a long time
I have patiently anticipated this for a significant period

For the one who would be mine
For the person who would belong to me

I think it's time
I believe the moment has arrived

Everything's all right
All is well and satisfactory

The way that you believe in me
The manner in which you have faith in me

It takes me through the night
It sustains me during the darkness of the night

I fall besides you softly singing
I calmly descend next to you, singing gently

In the morning, I see what you mean
When I wake up, I understand your intentions

Cause I don't want to make it without you
Because I do not desire to navigate life without you

You've got me dreaming
You have captivated my mind with beautiful thoughts and fantasies

And after you leave, when you're gone
And even when you depart and are no longer present

I'm still thinking about you
I am still consumed by thoughts of you

Na na na na na. Tomorrow is another morning
Na na na na na. The next day brings a fresh start

If you say you will be mine
If you declare that you will belong to me

I think it's time
I believe the moment has arrived

I like to make it with my baby every night
I enjoy engaging in intimate activities with my loved one every night

Every morning when I up
Each morning when I awaken

I fall into your eyes
I become immersed in the depths of your gaze

I want to go
I have an intense desire to be with you

I believe we're gonna make it
I hold the belief that we will overcome any challenges and succeed

If you're alone tonight
If you happen to be by yourself this evening

Believe me
Have faith in me

I've been waiting for you
I have been patiently anticipating your arrival

Everything's all right
All is well and satisfactory

🎵LYRICS

You've got such a pretty smile
It's a shame the things you hide behind it
Let 'em go
Give it up for a while
Let 'em free, and we will both go find it
I know there's nowhere you can hide it
I know the feeling of alone
I know that you do not feel invited
But, come back, come back in from the cold

Step away then from the edge
Your best friend in life is not your mirror

Back away, come
Back away, come
Back away, come
Back away, come
Back away, come
Back away

I am here, and I will be forever and ever, and I
I know that there's nowhere you can hide it
I know the feeling of alone
Trust me and don't keep that on the inside
Soon, you'll be locked out on your own
You're not alone
You're not alone

And don't say you've never been told
I'll be with you 'til we grow old
'Til I'm in the ground and I'm cold
I'm not sitting up here on some throne
I'll be with you 'til we grow up young
Like a dog, you can always come home
Dig up a bone
Look around
Down baby downtown
Don't throw me to the pound

@alansilvestri2375

You're not alone...
You're not alone...

And don't say...
You've never been told..
I'll be with you, till we grow old...
'Til I'm, in the ground and I'm cold...
I'm not, sitting up here, on some throne...
I'll be with you, 'till we grow young...
Like a dog, you can always...
Come home...
Dig up a bone...
Look around town baby...
Just don't throw me to the pound...

So happy to find this. Jude was my friend and we worked together in LA. He made me a mixtape with this song on it. It is still one of my favorite songs by him. I don't know how many times I saw him sing this at Highland Grounds and other venues. He is so talented.....

I was a senior in high school when this song came out. 19 year old African-American music clerk at a local record shop in California. Loyal hip-hop fan who brought home the store copy of this soundtrack to listen to while I washed dishes. Came for the Jimi Hendrix, stayed for the Jude. Good times. Also, finally saw the movie when it came to the dollar theatre in the Bay Area. Trust me, this movie speaks volumes more when you had a couple of months to digest the soundtrack.

I first heard this song as a little girl, in 1998. I was 6 years old. I was always drawn to it, though I didn't start really understanding it until my teens. I can remember distinct moments in my life that I've listened to this song, mostly because it feels like being understood when I listen to it. That I still relate to it now is... Well, I can't really admit how that truly makes me feel.

CityOfAngels.. Repaired my heart, Uplifted my life, Reminded me of my feelings, Gave my eyes salty-sweet tears, Showed me a lovely concept, Strengthened my faith, Made me laugh, Inspired me to better myself, & Brought a wondering soul back onto her path to heaven by leading her to God. <3.

The bizzare twist in this was exactly perfectly and most appropriately what I needed .. .. it was hitting the good feels .. and reminded me to smile..

I'd like to imagine we can all see our own in this world from that 'place' and it would be somewhat only right that we witnesses plain happy and ironic smiles at the proposterous example the world would accordingly look from "there"(!)

This soundtrack is phenomenal; even after all this time it still takes me on a roller coaster ride through all my emotional capabilities...mellow with U2, Alanis brings a restless resentment, Jimi through John provides raw sexual yearnings, followed by the inevitable heartbreak that usually comes after such intense passion, Clapton provides an interlude to the misery like the sun peeking through the clouds during the eye of the hurricane, and when exhaustion finally grips you, be lulled to sleep by the sweet melodies to the end. Good cathartic stuff!!

Oh my god! I totally forgot about this song! When I had the soundtrack(before mp3's) I used to play this song on repeat all the time! I'm in love with all over again. I'm so sad I lost the cd. I'm going to get this song back right now!

When this movie first came out I was 16. My boyfriend at the time took me see it. He was so sweet to me. He bought me this soundtrack. He passed away to soon. I miss him and think about him often. I think about angels often . R.I.P J.A.Y.....

@ladyfuschia I've been a huge Jude fan for years, and reeeally love his earlier more acoustic stuff! His album "No One is Really Beautiful" is the first I bought, and has this song on it. Also love 430 North Harper Ave, and have another one I can't remember the title of, but has a song he did called "I Will Not Die" which is possibly my favorite from him. He has such a beautiful voice, gives me chills with that falsetto! So glad House has brought him new fans, that type of talent's due it!

@ladyfuschia

13y

@RainSW6 Thanks for the info! I will definitely dig deeper! What an excellent voice! And if I may recommend a great guitarist, song writer and singer from Ireland, Luka Bloom. "Sunny Sailor Boy" and "Gone To Pablo" are but two of my favorites. Saw him live many years back, just him and his 12-string, filling the room with magic and beautiful sounds. Blew me away!

In this movie, there’s a scene where the angels are talking. It seems to be some kind of morning worship or meditation. Then there’s a group that’s harmonizing. It only lasts a few minutes. Right after that you can hear a jackhammer drilling. Does anyone know if that harmonizing is an actual song, or do I have to record it myself. For personal enjoyment only!?!
