Somewhere Tonight
Jaydee Bixby Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

On a street at a busy corner
He's holding her hand
In a car at the local drive in
She's kissing her man
If you find it makes you feel
A little lonely sad and blue
All you gotta do is remember,
It can happen to you

Somewhere tonight a heart is breaking
somewhere two hearts are beating as one
For every heart that is aching
Somewhere somebody is ready for love

I was riding in an elevator
A sad and lonely man
The doors opened and in walked an angel
And took a hold of my hand
And when I looked into her eyes
There was nothing I could do
All you gotta do is remember
It can happen to you

Somewhere tonight a heart is breaking
somewhere two hearts are beating as one
For every heart that is aching
Somewhere somebody is ready for love

Heartache and heartbreak
Will tear you in two
So don't make that mistake
There's love there for you

Three years since that elevator
Brought her into my life
Now I know that sooner of later
I'm gonna make her my wife
Now I know just how it feels
To have all your dreams come true
All you gotta do is remember
It can happen to you

Somewhere tonight a heart is breaking
somewhere two hearts are beating as one
For every heart that is aching
Somewhere somebody is ready for love

Somewhere tonight a heart is breaking
somewhere two hearts are beating as one
For every heart that is aching
Somewhere somebody is ready for love

Oh I am ready for love




Oh I am ready for love
I am going to get me some love

Line by Line Meaning

On a street at a busy corner
In a bustling city, surrounded by noise and chaos


He's holding her hand
He's affectionately holding the hand of his partner


In a car at the local drive in
In a parked car at a classic drive-in theater


She's kissing her man
She's passionately embracing her partner with a kiss


If you find it makes you feel
If you experience a sense of


A little lonely sad and blue
Feeling down, isolated and disheartened


All you gotta do is remember,
Just keep in mind that,


It can happen to you
You too can experience joy and love like these couples


Somewhere tonight a heart is breaking
Somebody somewhere is going through a rough patch with a loss or heartbreak


somewhere two hearts are beating as one
People in love are spending time together and feeling their deep connection


For every heart that is aching
There are people out there feeling pain


Somewhere somebody is ready for love
Someone is waiting to find their true romantic match


I was riding in an elevator
I found myself in an elevator


A sad and lonely man
I was feeling bleak and alone


The doors opened and in walked an angel
Suddenly, a beautiful person entered the elevator


And took a hold of my hand
They grabbed my hand with warmth and care


And when I looked into her eyes
As I gazed into their eyes,


There was nothing I could do
I was completely powerless


Heartache and heartbreak
Feeling sadness and grief from deep romantic pains


Will tear you in two
Can split you apart from the core


So don't make that mistake
Avoid making that common error


There's love there for you
There is someone out there who wants to love you


Three years since that elevator
After three years since that life-changing encounter in the elevator


Brought her into my life
When she came into my life


Now I know that sooner of later
I now fully understand that at some point in time,


I'm gonna make her my wife
I'm going to propose marriage to her


Now I know just how it feels
Now I have an idea of the emotions


To have all your dreams come true
To be living and achieving everything you have ever wished for


Oh I am ready for love
I am fully prepared and excited for a romantic relationship


I am going to get me some love
I'm going to find love and make it mine
