Song for You
Daniel Boaventura Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It could never be the same again,
You 've let me down,
I don't understand I can't pretend.
Oh, feels like I've been goin' down this road
Sometime before,
Someday, I will leave it far behind and that's for sure.
Don't call my name,
You feel no pain
Nothing for the times we used to share,
Oh hopin', you'll be easy on my mind and I'll forget
Somehow, can't help thinkin'
That I wish we'd never met
This is my song for you
Thoughts of winter,
Dreams of sunshine,
Nothing that I can do
Changes how I feel in my mind
This is my song for you,
Times I hope you will remember,
Things that were meant for two
Here in my heart,
Here in my song for you.
I'd like to know, do you ever
Stop to wonder why.
As feelings grow, we could
Never change it, never try.
Oh, who knows, you might even find
You miss me when I'm gone,
Somewhere, I've just got to find
The strength to carry on.
This is my song for you
Thoughts of winter,
Dreams of sunshine,
Nothing that I can do
Changes how I feel in my mind
This is my song for you,
Times I hope you will remember, yeah
Things that were meant for two
Here in my heart,
Here in my song for you.
The lyrics of "Song for You" by Daniel Boaventura is an emotional love song about a broken relationship. The singer is addressing his former lover, asking her not to turn around and look at him as it could remind him of their past love, which is now gone. He expresses his disappointment and lack of understanding about what went wrong in their relationship, saying that he feels like he has been down this road before. He knows that he will leave this behind and move on, but he also knows that it will take time.
The singer then proceeds to tell his lover not to call his name, as he cannot guarantee that he will respond. He recalls the happy times they shared together, hoping that she will be easy on his mind so that he can forget about her. He wishes that they never met because his heart is broken, and he is struggling to come to terms with the end of their relationship.
The chorus of "Song for You" is an ode to his lost love. He sings of his memories of her and the times they shared together. Despite the sadness and disappointment he feels, he hopes that she will remember the good times and the things that were meant for the two of them. He dedicates this song to her, as a reminder of their love, and as a way for both of them to heal and move on.

I love listening to Daniel Boaventura perform because I love his voice and I love the orchestra that plays behind him. I would love to come to Brazil to see him perform since it looks like he's not coming to the United States in the Virginia Beach area. We would love to see him perform here. Maybe if he goes to Vegas maybe I can go there. He is just fantastic. Until I'm able to see him up close and personal in the United States I will just watch him on YouTube. I would so love to meet him. He seems like a very kind person.👍👍🎙️🎙️🎙️🎤🎤🎤❤️🌹
