Body & Soul
Gayle Charles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For you I sigh, for you dear only
Why haven't you seen it
I'm all for you body and soul
I spend my days in longing
And wondering why it's me you're wronging
I tell you I mean it
I can't believe it
It's hard to conceive it
That you'd turn away romance
Are you pretending
It looks like the ending
Unless I could have just one more chance to prove, dear
My life a wreck you're making
You know I'm yours for just the taking
I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul
My life a wreck you're making
You know I'm yours for the very taking
I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul
The lyrics to Gayle Charles's song "Body & Soul" express the feeling of deep love and yearning for someone who seems to be unaware of the singer's feelings. The singer's heart is heavy with loneliness and they cannot help but long for this person. The phrase "for you I sigh, for you dear only" emphasizes the intensity of the singer's emotions and the fact that their love is only for this one person. The singer wonders why the person cannot see their love and devotion, and the repetition of the phrase "I'm all for you body and soul" emphasizes the complete commitment and surrender of the singer's heart and body to this person.
The second verse of the song intensifies the feelings of longing and confusion, with the singer questioning why they are being wronged and feeling like their life is a wreck because of the unrequited love. The line "are you pretending, it looks like the ending" suggests the possibility that the person may be pretending to not notice the singer's love, and also hints at the idea that the relationship may be coming to an end. However, the singer still holds onto hope for a chance to prove their love and devotion, emphasizing the idea of true and genuine love.
Overall, "Body & Soul" is a beautiful and emotional expression of unrequited love and surrender.
