Call Me
Edwina Hayes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
See how I will run,
It's been so many years, but,
You're still the one,
Just call my name and I will come
Ready as I can be,
And oh you'll send for me,
I'm ready now as I can be,
Maybe I'm a fool,
Loving you, like I do,
But I miss you every day,
And I see you in everything,
You're every song I hear and every word I say,
I miss you more every day,
"Instrumental"
Maybe I'm a fool,
But hope is all I have to hold on to,
So, call me and I will come,
See how I will run,
It's been so many years, but,
You're still the one,
Just call my name and I will come,
Just call my name and I will come.
The song "Call Me" by Edwina Hayes is a heartwarming ballad about an enduring love that has stood the test of time. The opening verse of the song sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics, as the singer expresses their willingness to drop everything and come running whenever their loved one calls. The line "it's been so many years, but you're still the one" suggests that this love has been going on for quite some time, perhaps even decades. The refrain of the song is a repeated call to action for the singer's loved one to call their name and they will come.
The second verse of the song further explores the singer's devotion to their loved one. The line "maybe I'm a fool, loving you like I do" suggests a sense of vulnerability on the part of the singer, but also an unwavering commitment to their relationship. The following lines reveal the depth of the singer's feelings for their loved one, as they express how much they miss them and find reminders of them in everything around them.
The instrumental break in the middle of the song provides a moment of reflection and introspection, allowing the listener time to consider the emotions at play in the song.
The final verse of the song returns to the theme of hope, as the singer acknowledges that they may be a fool for believing that their love will endure, but that hope is all they have to hold on to. The refrain of the song is repeated once more as a final call to action, reminding the loved one that the singer is always there for them.
Overall, "Call Me" is a poignant and affecting song that speaks to the power of enduring love and the willingness to be there for someone no matter what.
