From Now On
Jaki Graham Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll be around no matter how you treat me now
I'll be around from now on
Your latest love can never last, and when it's past
I'll be around when she's gone

Goodbye again, and if you find a love like mine
Just now and then, drop me a line to say you're feeling fine

And when things go wrong, perhaps you'll see you're meant for me
So I'll be around when she's gone

Just now and then, drop me a line to say you're feeling fine

And when things go wrong, perhaps you'll see you're meant for me
So I'll be around when she's gone

Line by Line Meaning

I'll be around no matter how you treat me now
I am committed to being present in your life, regardless of how you treat me presently

I'll be around from now on
I will remain in your life indefinitely

Your latest love can never last, and when it's past
The love you have found will not endure, and once it ends

I'll be around when she's gone
I will be there for you when that love inevitably ends

Goodbye again, and if you find a love like mine
Farewell once more, but if you happen to find another love like me

Just now and then, drop me a line to say you're feeling fine
Every so often, please send me a message to let me know you are doing well

And when things go wrong, perhaps you'll see you're meant for me
In times of trouble, you may realize that we are meant to be together

So I'll be around when she's gone
And I will be there for you when that love inevitably ends
