David Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It was the sweetest melody
I know I lost heaven 'cause you were the song
Since you and I have drifted apart
Life doesn't mean a thing to me
Please come back, sweet music, I know I was wrong
You know that we were meant to be more than just friends, just friends
I let a song go out of my heart
Believe me, darlin', when I say
I won't know sweet music until you return some day
I let a song go out of my heart
Believe me, darlin', when I say
I won't know sweet music until you return some day

I let a song go out of my heart
I allowed my love for you to fade away
It was the sweetest melody
Our love was the best thing in my life
I know I lost heaven 'cause you were the song
Without you, I lost the best part of my life
Since you and I have drifted apart
Our love has faded away over time
Life doesn't mean a thing to me
Without you, my life is empty
Please come back, sweet music, I know I was wrong
I realize now that I was wrong to let you go and want you back
Am I too late to make amends?
I wonder if it's too late for us to fix things
You know that we were meant to be more than just friends, just friends
I know that we had something more special than just a friendship
Believe me, darlin', when I say
Trust what I'm saying
I won't know sweet music until you return some day
I won't be truly happy again until we're back together
I let a song go out of my heart
I allowed my love for you to fade away
Believe me, darlin', when I say
Trust what I'm saying
I won't know sweet music until you return some day
I won't be truly happy again until we're back together
