You never kept me waiting
You never kept me waiting
Come back now

I know you're there

You never kept me waiting
You never kept me waiting

Come back now

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Harry and the Potters' "The Godfather: Part II" seem to be speaking to a departed loved one, presumably a character who has passed away in the Harry Potter book series. The repeated lines "You never kept me waiting" and "Come back now" suggest a sense of impatience and longing for the return of this person, who may have gone beyond the veil of death.

The other repeated line, "I know you're there," adds a layer of certainty to the song's message. Despite the person's absence, the singer is convinced that they still exist in some form and may be able to return to the living world.

Overall, the song seems to be a poignant tribute to the idea of lost loved ones, and a plea for their return.
