Jackson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know how many stars there are
Up in the heavenly sky
I only know my heaven is here on earth
Each time you look into my eyes
The way you do baby
Thank you, thank you baby

My beautiful bird, you have flown away
I held you too tight
I can see
You're all I need to get by
No one else can make me cry
The way you do baby
'Cause

You are the book that I read each day
You are the song that I sing
(Gonna sing it to you)
You are the 4 seasons of my life
But maybe tomorrow
You'll change your mind girl
Maybe tomorrow
You'll come back to my arms girl

You're all I need to get by
No one else can make me cry
The way you do baby

You are the book that I read each day
You are the song that I sing
(Gonna sing it to you)
You are the 4 seasons of my life
But maybe tomorrow
You'll change your mind girl
Maybe tomorrow
You'll come back to my arms girl

You are the book that I read each day
(Sing it, sing it, sing it, yeah)
You are the song that I sing
(Sing it , sing it, sing it, yeah)
You are the 4 seasons of my life
But maybe tomorrow
You'll change your mind girl
Maybe tomorrow
You'll come back to my arms girl

You are the book that I read each day
You are the song that I sing
(Gonna sing it to you)
You are the 4 seasons of my life
But maybe tomorrow
You'll change your mind girl




Maybe tomorrow
You'll come back to my arms girl

Overall Meaning

The first verse of this song by Jackson and His Computer Band talks about finding Heaven on earth. The singer is expressing his gratitude for having someone in his life who makes him feel complete. His lover's gaze has the power to transport him to a better place, a metaphoric Heaven that exists only in their shared moments. The singer acknowledges that there are countless stars in the sky, but his Heaven is unique because it is grounded in his earthly experiences with his lover.


In the second verse, the singer expresses his sadness over his lover leaving him. He admits that he held on too tightly and pushed her away. He realizes that she was all he needed to be happy and is remorseful that he let her go. The phrase "No one else can make me cry the way you do, baby" captures the paradox of love and its ability to bring both joy and pain.


Overall, this song celebrates the power of romantic love and its hold over our lives. It speaks to the universal experience of being in love, including the ups and downs, the happy moments and the heartbreak.
