When the Day Comes
Eric Krasno Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll always know you by heart
When all the lights have burned out
I know you're there in the dark
I'll always know you by heart
When the day will come
Same with the silver and gold
You are the light of
My fort on the senses
If love is right, they they are wrong
When the day comes when you'll go
I'll always know you by heart
Taste of your brand new sweet tenderness
I'll know youre there in the dark
I'll always know you by heart
When the day will come
Ain't no sense in believing forever
What has ended a long long time ago
Can't [?]
Is more than awhile
Leaving me something I know
When the day comes when you'll go
I'll always know you by heart
When all the lights have burned out
I know you're there in the dark
I'll always know you by heart
When the day will come
The song "When the Day Comes" by Eric Krasno is about losing someone you love and the pain that comes with it. The first verse talks about how even when someone is gone and all the lights have burned out, you still know them by heart and they are still with you in the dark. It's a message of hope, that even though things may seem dark and uncertain, the love and memories will always be there to give comfort.
The second verse mentions the idea of moving forward even when everything seems lost. The person Krasno is addressing in the song is the light of his life, giving him fortitude and strength. He declares that if love is right, then those who say otherwise are wrong. This message emphasizes the importance of valuing and celebrating relationships while you have them, instead of taking them for granted.
The third and final verse discusses the difficulty of letting go of something that has already ended. Krasno suggests that it's better to let go rather than to hold on to something that's no longer there, but acknowledges that it's never easy. The song ends on the same note of hope as the first verse - that even when someone is gone, they are always with you in your heart.
Overall, "When the Day Comes" is a heartfelt song about love, loss, and the enduring power of memory. It reminds us to cherish the important people in our lives and to hold onto the love that they bring.
