Days & Nights
Franci Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My memory takes me to
The wonderful nights we knew
When I made love to you until the dawn.
You left and to my surprise
I'm laughing with tear dimmed eyes
Because I realise
I can't go on my darling.
With the parting of the ways
You took all my happy days
And left me lonely nights.
Morning never comes too soon
I can face the afternoon
But oh, those lonely nights.
I feel your arms around me,
Your kisses linger yet,
You taught me how to love you,
Now teach me to forget!
You broke my heart a million ways
When you took my happy days
And left me lonely nights.

The beautiful month of May
Without you is sad and grey,
Oh, how I hate the day, I let you go.
I find that my happiness,
Depends on your sweet caress
I thought I loved you less,
But now I know, my darling.

With the parting of the ways
You took all my happy days
And left me lonely nights.
Morning never comes too soon
I can face the afternoon
But oh, those lonely nights.
I feel your arms around me,
Your kisses linger yet,
You taught me how to love you,
Now teach me to forget!
You broke my heart a million ways




When you took my happy days
And left me lonely nights.

Line by Line Meaning

My memory takes me to
I often reminisce about


The wonderful nights we knew
The highly enjoyable nights we spent together


When I made love to you until the dawn.
The moments we shared together until the early hours of the morning while making love


You left and to my surprise
You departed, and it was astonishing to me


I'm laughing with tear dimmed eyes
Despite my tears, I laugh


Because I realise
I'm chuckling because I now understand that


I can't go on my darling.
I am unable to continue without you.


With the parting of the ways
Since we went our separate ways


You took all my happy days
You took all the happy memories away


And left me lonely nights.
Which left me with just lonely nights.


Morning never comes too soon
I never wake up too early


I can face the afternoon
I'm able to handle the rest of the day


But oh, those lonely nights.
However, those lonely nights are difficult to endure.


I feel your arms around me,
I can sense your arms embracing me,


Your kisses linger yet,
I can still recall your kisses,


You taught me how to love you,
You educated me on how to cherish you,


Now teach me to forget!
And now you must teach me to forget!


You broke my heart a million ways
You shattered my heart in numerous ways


When you took my happy days
When you took all the happy moments away


And left me lonely nights.
And left me only with lonely nights.


The beautiful month of May
The lovely month of May


Without you is sad and grey,
Is lonely and dull without you,


Oh, how I hate the day, I let you go.
I rue the day I permitted you to leave.


I find that my happiness,
I've discovered that my happiness


Depends on your sweet caress
Rests only on your tender embrace


I thought I loved you less,
I assumed my love for you has decreased,


But now I know, my darling.
But I realize now, my sweet love.
