Something
Helen and The Prettyboy Pete Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you are far away from me, dear
Some little something, meaning love can not die,
No matter where you chance to be.
Though I'll pray for you, night and day for you;
It will see me through like a charm,
Till you're returning.
When you are far away from me.
Though I'll pray for you, night and day for you
It will see me through like a charm
Till your returning
So give me something to remember you by
When you are far away from me.
The lyrics of Helen and The Prettyboy Pete Band's song "Something" express the yearning for a tangible reminder of a loved one who is far away. The singer asks for "something to remember you by" that will stand as a symbol of their love that cannot be diminished by distance. They promise to "pray for you, night and day" until their significant other returns, and the symbolic item will help them endure the separation.
The song speaks to the universal experience of missing someone and the power that an object can have in keeping someone close in memory. The lyrics are simple and straightforward, yet they convey a deep emotional longing. The slow pace and melancholic melody emphasize the sentimentality of the song, making it a poignant ballad that resonates with anyone who has ever been separated from a loved one.
