Together Again
Janet Jackson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There are times
When I look above
And beyond
There are times when I feel your love
Around me, baby
I'll never forget my baby
I'll never forget you
There are times when I look above and beyond
There are times when I feel your love around me, baby
I'll never forget my baby
When I feel that I don't belong
Draw my strength
From the words when you said
Hey, it's about you, baby
Look deeper inside you, baby

Dream about us together again
What I want, us together again, baby
I know we'll be together again, 'cause

Everywhere I go
Every smile I see
I know you are there
Smilin' back at me
Dancin' in moonlight
I know you are free
'Cause I can see your star
Shinin' down on me

(Together again, ooh)
Good times we'll share again
(Together again, ooh)
Makes me wanna dance
(Together again, ooh)
Say it loud and proud
(Together again, ooh)
All my love's for you

Always been a true angel to me, now above
I can't wait for you to wrap your wings around me, baby
(Wrap them around me, baby)
Ooh, wrap them around me, baby
(Wrap them around me, baby)
Sometimes hear you whisperin'
No more pain
No worries will you ever see now, baby
(Ever see you, baby)
I'm so happy for my baby
(Happy for my baby)

Dream about us together again
What I want, us together again, baby
I know we'll be together again, 'cause

Everywhere I go
Every smile I see
I know you are there
Smilin' back at me
Dancin' in moonlight
I know you are free
'Cause I can see your star
Shinin' down on me

(Together again, ooh)
Good times we'll share again
(Together again, ooh)
It makes me wanna dance
(Together again, ooh)
Say it loud and proud
(Together again)
All my love's for you

There are times when I look above and beyond
There are times when I feel you smile upon me, baby
I'll never forget my baby

What I'd give just to hold you close as on earth
In heaven we will be together, baby
(Be together)
Together again, my baby
(Together again, my baby)

Everywhere I go
Every smile I see
I know you are there
Smilin' back at me
Dancin' in moonlight
I know you are free
'Cause I can see your star
Shinin' down on me

Everywhere I go
Every smile I see
I know you are there
Smilin' back at me
Dancin' in moonlight
I know you are free




'Cause I can see your star
Shinin' down on me

Janet Jackson's song "Together Again" is a tribute to her close friends who had passed away due to AIDS. The lyrics are about love and losing someone, but also about the hope of being together again someday. The song is a mix of sadness and joy, with Janet reminiscing about her memories of her loved one while also cherishing the time they spent together.

In the beginning, Janet starts by saying that there are times when she looks beyond and above, suggesting that she's thinking about her loved ones who have passed away. She feels her loved one around her and promises to never forget them. Janet draws her strength from the memories and the words her loved ones said, reassuring her that everything will be alright. She dreams about a day when they will be together again and assures them that she knows they'll be reunited someday. Janet also celebrates the good times they shared and all her love for them.

There are times when I look above and beyond
遥か先を見つめる時がある
There are times when I feel your love around me baby
愛に包まれてると感じる時がある
I'll never forget my baby
あなたのことは忘れないよ

When I feel that I don't belong
居場所がないと感じる時は
Draw my strength from the words when you said
あなたの言葉を力に変えるよ
Hey it's about you baby
そう、あなたのことよ
Look deeper inside you baby
あなたのもっと奥深くを見て

Dream about us together again
また一緒になる夢を見て
What I want us together again baby
また一緒になりたいと願うの
I know we'll be together again cuz
また一緒になれるよ、だって

[Chorus:]
Everywhere I go
どこへ行っても
Every smile I see
どんな笑顔を見ても
I know you are there smilin' back at me
私に微笑むあなたがそこにいる
Dancin in moonlight
月の光に踊る
I know you are free
あなたは自由よ
Cuz I can see your star shinin' down on me
だってあなたの星が私を照らしてる

Good times we'll share again
また幸せな時を過ごせるよ
Makes me wanna dance
踊っていたいの
Say it loud and proud
強くしっかり言うよ
All my loves for you
あなたへのこの愛を


Always been a true angel to me
いつも私にとっての天使よ
Now above
今、空から
I can't wait for you to wrap your wings around me baby
あなたの翼に包まれるのが待てないよ
Oooh wrap them around me baby
包まれるのが

Sometimes hear you whisperin'
時々ささやきが聞こえるよ
No more pain
もう辛くないよ
No worries will you ever see now baby
もう心配ないよ
I'm so happy for my baby
お前を思うと幸せだよ

Dream about us together again
また一緒になる夢を見て
What I want us together again baby
また一緒になりたいと願うの
I know we'll be together again cuz
また一緒になれるよ、だって

[Chorus:]

There are times when I look above and beyond
遥か先を見つめる時がある
There are times when I feel you smile upon me baby
あなたの微笑みを感じる時がある
Ill never forget my baby
あなたのことは忘れない
What I'd give just to hold you close
あなたを抱きしめられるなら何でもするわ*1
As on earth
現世と同じように*2
In heaven we will be together baby
天国では一緒だから
Together again my baby

This song is so comforting in those dark moments of grief. I can’t wait to be reunited with my loved ones in a place far better than this.
