Since I Don't Have You
Jimmy Beaumont & The Skyliners Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I don't have hopes and dreams
I don't have anything
Since I don't have you
I don't have fond desires
And I don't have happy hours
I don't have anything
I don't have happiness, and I guess
I never will again
When you walked out on me
In walked old misery
And he's been here since then
I don't have love to share
And I don't have one who cares
I don't have anything
Since I don't have
You, you, you, you
You, you, you, you
You, you, you, you
(You)
The lyrics of Jimmy Beaumont/The Skyliners's song Since I Don't Have You depict the painful impact of losing a loved one. The author describes the complete loss of interest in life after the departure of the loved one. The song is a beautifully written ballad that expresses the emptiness and loneliness of life without the significant other.
The first two verses of the song tell us that the author has lost all his hopes and dreams along with his loving partner. He has no desires, no happy memories, and nothing to look forward to since he lost his love. The third verse conveys that the author is left with only grief and misery in his life when the loved one walked out on him. These feelings have taken over him since then, and he does not see any way out of them.
The chorus is an echo of the first two verses with an addition. The author says that he has nothing since he does not have his lover, which includes happiness and love to share. The song ends with the repeated 'you' showing the significance of the loved one in the author's life.
