Together Again
Emmylou Harris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My tears have stopped falling
The long lonely nights
Are now at an end
The key to my heart
You hold in your hand
And nothing else matters
Together again
The gray skies are gone
Your back in my arms
Now where you belong
The love that we knew
Is living again
And nothing else matters
'Cause we're together again
Together again
My tears have stopped falling
The long lonely nights
Are now at an end
The love that we knew
Is living again
And nothing else matters
'Cause we're together again
No nothing else matters
'Cause we're together again
Emmylou Harris's song Together Again is a classic love ballad that speaks of the end of loneliness and the return of love. The opening verse, "Together again, my tears have stopped falling, the long lonely nights are now at an end," speaks to the relief and release that comes with the end of romantic isolation. The singer has found a partner once again, and their love has rekindled, as we hear in the lines "The love that we knew is living again." The singer reaffirms this renewed love with the line "The key to my heart you hold in your hand, and nothing else matters, we're together again." In the second verse, "Together again, the gray skies are gone, you're back in my arms, now where you belong," the singer expresses the idea that love is what brings color to life and alleviates loneliness. The song builds upon its theme of joy and gratitude towards a simple and beautiful love.

Together again
We are reunited and back together in each other's company
My tears have stopped falling
I am no longer crying in sadness and despair
The long lonely nights
The period of time where I felt alone and detached is over
Are now at an end
That time period has come to a close
The key to my heart
You have the most important thing that I possess, which is the love and loyalty that I hold within myself
You hold in your hand
You possess my heart and the love that comes with it
And nothing else matters
No other things are as important as our love and union
We're together again
Our love has brought us back into each other's arms
The gray skies are gone
The feeling of sadness and hopelessness inside us has vanished
Your back in my arms
We have reunited and I have you back in my embrace
Now where you belong
This is where you are meant to be, with me
The love that we knew
The love that we had in the previous times we were together
Is living again
Our love has been reignited and is alive again
No nothing else matters
Our love is the most important thing, and nothing else compares
'Cause we're together again
Our reunion and love for each other are the key to our happiness

My old college friend and I were talking about this tonight and we were talking about pure voices: Joan Baez, Julie Felix, Judy Collins, Joni Mitchell. I mentioned Linda Ronstadt but her voice was in a different stratosphere. Emmy-Lou, though, her voice is so distinctive and so pure and she could stand there in a frock (sorry, dress) from Dotty P costing £10 and she would have all eyes on her.
