Impressions Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Than any love could ever be
For when I wanted you
I was so lonely and blue
For That's what love will do
And darling, I'm so surprised
Oh, when I first realized
That you were fooling me
But I just want to tell them they don't know
For as long as you're in love with me
Our love will grow wider
Deeper than any sea
And of all the things that I want
In this whole wide world, is
Just for you to say that you'll be my girl
Wanting you, I'm so lonely and blue
That's what love will do

Every time I play this song, I cry. It was my father's favorite song. My father passed away when I was 17. I danced to this song with my husband during our wedding as a tribute to my father..... I got married on my father's birthday as well as my parent's anniversary. This song will always be a memorable song in my heart!
