near you
George & Tammy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Near you
It's like heaven to be
Near you
Times when we're apart
And I can't face my heart
Say you'll never stay
More than just two lips away
If my hours could be spent
Near you
I'd be more than content
Near you
Make my life worthwhile
By telling me that I'll
Spend the rest of my days
Near you
Near you
Near you
Make my life worth while
By telling me that I'll
Spend the rest of my days
Near you
Spend the rest of my days
Near you
The lyrics of George & Tammy's song "Near You" express a strong desire to be close to the person they love. The first two lines of the song, "There's just one place for me, Near you" express the idea that being close to their significant other is all they need to feel complete. The lyrics go on to describe how being near their loved one is like heaven, and that even when they are apart, they feel incomplete.
The sentiment of the song is further emphasized when they say, "Say you'll never stay more than just two lips away." This line implies that they need more than just physical closeness, but also emotional closeness. They need assurance that their loved one will always be there, and always be emotionally present.
The song ends with the repeated phrase "Near you," as if to cement the idea that being near their significant other is what truly makes life worth living. The lyrics of "Near You" capture the essence of true love and the desire to be close to the person who means everything to you.

There's just one place for me
I only want to be in one location
Near you
And that is as close to you as possible
It's like heaven to be
Being near you feels like paradise
Times when we're apart
When we are not together
And I can't face my heart
I cannot handle the feeling of being alone
Say you'll never stay
Promise me you will never be far away
More than just two lips away
More than just physically close but also emotionally close
If my hours could be spent
If I could choose how to spend my time
Near you
It would be by being close to you
I'd be more than content
I would be happier than just satisfied
Make my life worthwhile
Give meaning or purpose to my life
By telling me that I'll
By giving me assurance that
Spend the rest of my days
I will spend the rest of my life
Near you
Being close to you
Near you
As close as possible to you
Make my life worth while
Give my life meaning or purpose
By telling me that I'll
By giving me assurance that
Spend the rest of my days
I will spend the rest of my life
Near you
Being close to you

Have you ever heard anything more beautiful or seen any 2 people more in love?
@markmark2080
Well, yeah, I have, but in the music world it didn't get any better than this. It's tragic how much destruction alcohol and drugs have done in relationships and society as a whole...
