Today I Started Loving You
Henson Cargill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'm right back where I've really always been
I got over you just long enough to let my heartaches mend
And today I started loving you again
What a fool I was to think I could get by
With only these few million tears I've cried
I should have known the worst was yet to come
Cause today I started loving you again...
Yes today I started loving you again
In these lyrics from Henson Cargill's song "Today I Started Loving You Again," the singer reflects on a renewed love and the journey of healing that led them back to this place.
The opening line, "Today I started loving you again," indicates that the singer had previously been in love with this person but had somehow lost that love. It suggests that they have now experienced a shift, and they have found that love again. They emphasize that they are right back where they have always been, implying that this love has been a constant presence in their life, perhaps even subconsciously.
The next line, "I got over you just long enough to let my heartaches mend," reveals that the singer had to go through a process of healing and moving on after their love initially ended. They were able to distance themselves from the pain and allow their heartache to heal. This suggests that the love they had for this person was so strong that it took time for them to fully recover from the heartbreak.
The subsequent lines express regret and self-reflection, as the singer acknowledges their own foolishness in thinking they could move on without this person. They acknowledge the immense pain they have experienced, metaphorically referencing "these few million tears I've cried." It becomes apparent that the worst was yet to come for the singer, and they were not prepared for the depth of emotion that awaited them. It is a moment of realization that their suffering was far from over.
The final lines bring the focus back to the present moment, where the singer declares that today, they have started loving this person again. Through this journey of heartache, healing, and reflection, the singer has rediscovered their love and is ready to embrace it once more. The repetition of this affirmation emphasizes the significance and immediacy of this newfound love. It conveys a sense of hope and resolve, suggesting that the singer is committed to giving their love another chance.

Today I started loving you again
I have rekindled my feelings of love for you today
And I'm right back where I've really always been
I have returned to the place of loving you that I have always been in
I got over you just long enough to let my heartaches mend
I managed to temporarily move on from my heartaches to heal
And today I started loving you again
And now, on this day, I have once again embraced my love for you
What a fool I was to think I could get by
I realize now that I was foolish to think I could live without you
With only these few million tears I've cried
Despite shedding countless tears, it is not enough to ease the pain of losing you
I should have known the worst was yet to come
I should have anticipated that there would be more painful moments ahead
And that crying time for me had just begun
And now, I am entering a phase where I will experience more moments of sorrow and tears
Cause today I started loving you again...
Because on this day, I have decided to rekindle my love for you once more
Yes today I started loving you again
Indeed, today marks the beginning of my renewed affection towards you
