The Long and Winding Road
Ipanema Beach Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That leads to your door
Will never disappear
I've seen that road before
It always leads me here
Lead me to you door
The wild and windy night
Has left a pool of tears
Crying for the day
Why leave me standing here
Let me know the way
Many times I've been alone
And many times I've cried
Any way you'll never know
The many ways I've tried
But still they lead me back
To the long winding road
You left me waiting here
A long long time ago
Don't leave me standing here
Lead me to your door
But still they lead me back
To the long winding road
You left me waiting here
A long long time ago
Don't leave me standing here
Lead me to your door
The song "The Long And Winding Road" by Ipanema Beach Orchestra talks about a journey, both literally and emotionally. The long and winding road symbolizes the journey towards a person's love, a person's "door." The singer of the song has been on this road many times before and it always leads him to the same place, to his love's door. But, despite the familiarity of the journey, it's not an easy one. The wild and windy night, with the rain washing away everything in its path, symbolizes the obstacles and challenges the singer faces along the way. The tears he cries represent the pain he experiences on this journey.
The singer feels lost and unsure of which way to go, and he's been standing there waiting for a long time. He wants his love to lead him to the door, to show him the way. The repetition of the line "don't leave me standing here" emphasizes the singer's desperation and longing. He's tried many ways before, but he can't seem to find the right path on his own. He needs his love to guide him.
Overall, the song conveys the message that the journey towards love and the path towards someone's heart is not an easy one, but it's worth it in the end. The road may be long and winding, but the destination is worth the effort.

I have experienced this path in the past

Many times I've been alone
Countless times, I've been solitary

And countless times, I've wept

Don't leave me alone here
Lead me to your door
Bring me to you
