It's Always You
June Christy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Whenever it's early twilight,
I watch till a star breaks through.
Funny, it's not a star I see,
It's always you!

Whenever I roam through roses,
And lately I often do,
Funny, it's not a rose I touch,
It's always you!

If a breeze caresses me,
It's really you strolling by.
If I hear a melody,
It's merely the way you sigh.

Wherever you are you're near me,
You dare me to be untrue.




Funny, each time I fall in love,
It's always you!

Overall Meaning

June Christy’s “It’s So Peaceful in the Country” is a love song that uses imagery and personification to convey the feeling of being in love. The first verse describes the singer's experience of looking at the stars during early twilight. Although she sees a star breaking through, it is not really a star she sees - it is the person she loves. The second verse uses a similar technique, where the singer talks about walking through roses and touching them, but it is not the roses that she feels - it is her lover. The third verse brings the song to a climax as the singer describes how all her senses are attuned to her lover - she hears the way they sigh in the melody of a song or feels their presence in the breeze.


The song highlights how love can create an immersive experience where the lover becomes a part of everything around the singer, inspiring her to feel the beauty of nature even more deeply. Moreover, the song also captures the narrative of being dared to take risks which creates the feeling of being alive.
