Please
Gibb Robin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So many words I'd like to say to you
So many things I'd like to do for you
I count the seconds till you're back by my side
The flame only burns when you're here in my life
You're the only one for me

Please tell me now I'll ever get over you
Though I know you're gone
Can't believe that it's true
Please tell me how to ever stop waiting for you
With every beat of my heart
I'll be waiting for you

Time after time
My every thought is you
Day after day
I want to be with you
Open your heart
And I'm sure that you'll see
No words can express what you mean to me
Baby you're my destiny

I'm waiting for the day
When you come back in my live
I'm waiting for the day
When all that's wrong is right
And I'm praying for the time




When you are here I'm my arms
Hold you tight all day and all night

Overall Meaning

In "Please," Gibb Robin sings about being deeply in love with someone who is no longer with him. He expresses his desire to be with this person again and how he feels lost without them. He reminisces on their time together and how he wishes he could go back to those moments. There is a sense of longing and desperation in his voice as he pleads for the person to come back to him. He acknowledges that he may never get over this person and is willing to wait for them as long as it takes.


This song is a classic example of a love ballad. The lyrics are simple and straightforward, with repetition and a catchy melody that makes it easy to sing along to. The chorus, which repeats the plea to the person to come back to him, is particularly powerful and emotionally charged. The way Gibb Robin sings it feels like he is pouring out his heart and soul.


One interesting aspect of this song is the use of the word "please." It's a word we use when we politely ask for something, but in this context, it takes on a more desperate and pleading tone. It's as if Gibb Robin is begging the person to come back to him, using his politeness and vulnerability as a way to appeal to their heart.

I love this song.. I love this sound.. "Every Beat Of My Heart,I'll Be Waiting For You!"

@BethanyShinn

I am in complete agreement with each of the previous comments! I'm so wishing that I could have been there for the Magnetic tour. Here's hoping that Robin and Errol Reid continue to collaborate way into this century!
