And I Love You So
Helen Reddy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sunday Morning waking up and touching you
You're always warm at 9 a.m
Pillows close and I can feel you wanting me
When I go back to sleep again
I didn't mean to love you
But I guess I never noticed
Just how often you were there
Walking on and talking 'till the sun went down
You kept me warm with just your eyes
Seems that all we wanted just came naturally
We never even had to try
I didn't mean to love you
Didn't want to let it show
No I never meant to tell you
I'm just too proud to let on
Bring back the days when we could talk away our troubles
Don't tell me things have changed so much
Please take the time you know it's not so hard to do
Unless there's nothing left to say
I guess there's nothing left to say
I didn't mean to love you
But I guess I always will
Yes you'll always be inside me
Kinda warm and soft and still
I didn't mean to need you
And I didn't want to cry
I never meant to loose you
I never meant good-bye
I never meant good-bye

And I love you so
এবং আমি আপনাকে তাই ভালবাসি
The people ask me how
লোকেরা আমাকে জিজ্ঞাসা করে কিভাবে
How I've lived till now
আমি এখন পর্যন্ত কীভাবে বেঁচে আছি
I tell them I don't know
আমি তাদের বলি আমি জানি না
I guess they understand
আমার ধারণা তারা বুঝতে পারে
How lonely life has been
জীবনটা কেমন একাকী হয়ে গেছে
But life began again
তবে জীবন আবার শুরু হয়েছিল
The day you took my hand
যেদিন আপনি আমার হাত ধরেছিলেন
And yes, I know how lonely life can be
এবং হ্যাঁ, আমি জানি একাকি জীবন কীভাবে হতে পারে
The shadows follow me 'n' the night won't set me free
ছায়া আমাকে 'এন' অনুসরণ করে রাতটি আমাকে মুক্তি দেয় না
But I don't let the evening get me down
তবে আমি সন্ধ্যা আমাকে নামতে দিচ্ছি না
Now that you,re around me
এখন আপনি আমার চারপাশে
And you love me, too
এবং আপনিও আমাকে ভালবাসেন
Your thoughts are just for me
আপনার চিন্তা কেবল আমার জন্য
You set my spirit free
আপনি আমার আত্মাকে মুক্ত করেছেন
I'm happy that you do
আমি খুশি যা আপনি করেন
The book of life is brief
জীবনের বই সংক্ষিপ্ত
And once a page is read
এবং একবার একটা পৃষ্টা পড়ে
All but life is dead
জীবন ব্যতীত সমস্ত মারা গেছে
That is my belief
এটাই আমার বিশ্বাস
And yes, I know how lonely life can be
এবং হ্যাঁ, আমি জানি একাকী জীবন কিভাবে হতে পারে
The shadows follow me and the night won't set me free
ছায়া আমাকে 'এন' অনুসরণ করে রাতটি আমাকে মুক্তি দেয় না
But I don't let the evening get me down
তবে আমি সন্ধ্যা আমাকে নামতে দিচ্ছি না
Now that you're around me
এখন আপনি আমার চারপাশে

She lit up the 1970's. With her fabulous voice and music! Thank you Helen Reddy for your songs.
Monica H. Arroyo
Rest In Peace my fellow woman hear us roar!!!
Helen Reddy has been with me all throughout my whole life since I was a teenager and I am now 61!
She was with me through all the heartaches and all the joys of relationships: the usual platitudes.. through the laughter and the tears of loving somebody....
My most favorite and I listen to it almost everyday is I DIDN’T MEAN TO LOVE YOU
LISTEN TO HER STUNNING BITTERSWEET HAUNTING RENDITION OF THIS SONG
It will break your heart so prepare yourself ....
Helen Reddy thanks for singing our love songs even the ones that brought us so much pain.
