Body & Soul
Dave Brubeck Trio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For you I sigh, for you dear only
Why haven't you seen it
I'm all for you body and soul
I spend my days in longing
And wondering why it's me you're wronging
I tell you I mean it
I can't believe it
It's hard to conceive it
That you'd turn away romance
Are you pretending
It looks like the ending
Unless I could have just one more chance to prove, dear
My life a wreck you're making
You know I'm yours for just the taking
I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul
My life a wreck you're making
You know I'm yours for the very taking
I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul
The lyrics of "Body and Soul" by the Dave Brubeck Trio convey the intense yearning and longing of the singer for someone they love. The singer's heart is "sad and lonely," and they sigh for this person constantly. They are all in for this person emotionally and physically, as they declare "I'm all for you body and soul."
However, the singer is left feeling confused and hurt because the person they love seems to be uninterested or actively avoiding their advances. They spend their days wondering why they are being "wronged" by this person. The singer begs for one more chance to prove themselves to this person, hoping to avoid the inevitable ending of the relationship.
This song captures the agony of unrequited love and the desperation that comes with it. The lyrics are introspective and raw, conveying the singer's emotions in a clear and straightforward way. The addition of the smooth, jazzy musical accompaniment brings a depth to the rawness of the words, making for a truly breathtaking listening experience.
