Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I love you
Yeah

Babe, I love you so
I want you to know
That I'm going to miss your love
The minute you walk out that door
So please don't go
Don't go
Don't go away
Please don't go
Don't go
I'm begging you to stay

If you leave
At least in my lifetime

I was blessed to be loved
By someone as wonderful as you

So please don't go
Don't go
Don't go away
Please don't go
Don't go
I'm begging you to stay
Hey, hey, hey

Don't go away
Hey, hey, hey

I need your love
I'm down on my knees
Beggin' please, please, please

Amy,

I don't know if we'll ever meet again in this lifetime I can't believe it's been 39 years since we last held each other and looked into each others eyes and it was at our dear friends funeral it was the last time I saw both you and Eric God bless his soul, I want you to know that I still care very much about you and appreciate the years we spent together with all the good and the bad we lived, loved, laughed and cried together and over the years loved each other.

I just want to thank you for loving me and I hope and wish the best for you always and forever.

I want you to know that I hurt for many years after our break up and I came to realize how much I loved you, even to this day you cross my mind from time to time and I still feel that love deep down in my heart for you.

When I hear this song, our song it brings me back to September 1979 and the Fox River valley where we grew up and it melts my heart.

May your life be filled with happiness always and forever I hope we can see each other again either in this lifetime or the next so we can take one last stroll down memory lane together.
