Boston
Lalah Hathaway Lyrics

I have left my heart in Boston
My emotional attachment to Boston is so strong that I consider this city as my second home.

And I left my soul in springtime
The fond memories of being in Boston during springtime have a special place in my heart where I find inner peace and tranquility.

And I’ve forgotten how it feels to be in love again
I’ve lost the feeling of true love after parting ways with someone special, and it’s been hard to feel that again since.

And I still miss you
I’m still yearning for the company of the person who I shared beautiful moments with in Boston, and the memories of them are still fresh in my mind.

Somehow I left the world behind me
I’ve lost touch with the present world due to the strong attachment that I have developed towards Boston.

I can't remember how to find me
I feel lost in my own thoughts, struggling to reconnect with my own self after being bombarded by the memories of Boston.

And I've forgotten how it feels to truly love someone
The strong emotions that I used to associate with love have faded, and it’s hard for me to experience them again.

My God, I miss you
I have an intense longing to be reunited with the person who was once with me in Boston.

And nobody ever said that it would be this hard
No one ever prepared me for the difficulty of moving on from Boston.

Just want to go back
I have a strong desire to go back to Boston and relive the moments that meant so much to me.

And walk with you along the Charles
The thought of walking around the river Charles with you fills my heart with a sense of fulfillment and joy.

You never believe how hard this real world thing can be
Living in the real world, outside of the beautiful bubble I had once created in Boston, has been nothing but difficult.

Until you see
It’s hard to comprehend the harsh reality of life without experiencing it firsthand.

I think I lost my smile in Cambridge
The city of Cambridge has a special meaning to me, and it was tough to leave behind the happiness I felt when I was here.

And my spirit in a snowy haze
I lost a part of myself during a snowy day in Boston, which has had a lingering effect on me since then.

And I've forgotten how it feels to be in love with life
The simple pleasures in life that I used to enjoy have lost their significance, and it’s hard for me to find joy in them again.

I really miss you
The person who was with me during my time in Boston is missed dearly, and I wish they were here with me now.

So I’ve been around the world by now
I’ve traveled to many places, but none can compare to the special place that Boston holds in my heart.

And I’ve seen enough to know
I’ve had enough experiences to know that my love for Boston is unique, and it’s hard to recreate this feeling anywhere else.

That if you truly find your heart somewhere
When you find a place that brings you true happiness, it’s important to hold onto it and cherish it.

You better take it with you where you go
It’s important to keep the memories and emotions associated with that special place within you, and carry them wherever you go.

And nobody told me my life would be this way
It’s hard to accept the difficulty of moving on from something that means so much to you, especially when no one prepared you for it.

I'm watching the years go sailing by
I feel as if the years are flying by, and I’m missing out on something special by not being in Boston right now.

Just like the days
The days are slipping away from me, and I fear that I might never be able to go back to Boston.

I’m thinking how Boston seems to be the perfect place
To me, Boston is the epitome of perfection - it’s the one place that I feel truly happy and content.

To leave my heart
I’ve left my heart in Boston, and I’m not sure if I’ll ever retrieve it.

I have left my heart in Boston
My love for Boston knows no bounds, and it continues to hold a special place in my heart.

I left it right there
My heart remains in the specific spot in Boston where I last felt complete happiness and contentment.

At the downtown crossing
The downtown crossing area of Boston holds significant memories and emotions for me that I cannot forget.
