So Long
Jan Garber And His Orchestra Lyrics

The lyrics to Jan Garber And His Orchestra's So Long expresses the longing of a lover who has missed their significant other for a long time. The singer of the song reminisces about the times when they were with their loved one, holding them tight and saying goodnight. The song implies that their relationship was cut short when they had to say goodbye. The singer is depicted as feeling dazed, sad, and lonely for days on end after their separation.

The line "Feelin' blue, missin' you, in, oh, so many ways" encapsulates the emotional turmoil of the singer. The singer feels lost, and they admit that they were foolish for letting their loved one go. They seek to be reunited with their loved one, longing to be back in their arms because it has been so long since they last held them. The song effectively conveys the pain that comes with human longing, and it serves as a reminder to cherish the relationships we have with our loved ones because we never know when they will be gone.
