Darling
Houston Davis Jones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I cried myself to sleep everynight for a week
I wondered how somebody else could love you more than I did
And then I thought of the love that we shared
And I wondered
And I wondered
And I wondered
And I wandered the night wrapped in thoughts of the past
When it seemed then for awhile that these dreams they would pass
But they stay and they haunt me
Like dreams of love so often do
And I don?t know what to say or think
Or could it be you always were the one
And I wondered
And I wondered
And I wondered

And I cried when you told me he was the one
I was deeply hurt when you told me that you found someone else
And I cried myself to sleep everynight for a week
I was so heartbroken that I couldn't stop crying and slept poorly for a whole week
I wondered how somebody else could love you more than I did
I couldn't understand how someone else could love you more than I did
And then I thought of the love that we shared
After thinking about our past love, I felt comfort in knowing that it existed
And I wondered
My mind was consumed with unanswered questions
And I wondered
I continued to be uncertain and perplexed
And I wondered
I kept on questioning without getting any answers
And I wandered the night wrapped in thoughts of the past
I walked around lost in memories of our relationship
When it seemed then for awhile that these dreams they would pass
I thought that the pain of losing you would eventually subside
But they stay and they haunt me
However, my memories of you and our love continue to trouble me
Like dreams of love so often do
Just like how memories of love often linger and remain vivid
And I don?t know what to say or think
I am at a loss for words and unable to process my emotions
Or could it be you always were the one
I am left wondering if you were always meant to be the one for me
