Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Help me with my miseries
Can't somebody see, yeah
What this world has done to me
And I know I know
And I say, oh, I say
That no matter where I go
Won't somebody please
Help me with my memories
Can't somebody see, yeah
What this world has done to me
And I know I know
And I say, oh, I say
That no matter where you go, go
You will always see my face
You will always see my face
No matter where you go, go
You will always see my face
No matter where you go, go
You will always see my face
No matter where I go, go
I will always see your face
Yeah, now look and I can see your face
Yeah, look and you can see my face
Hey, I'm looking at you looking at me
The lyrics of Love's Always See Your Face convey feelings of loneliness, sadness, and the yearning for someone who can understand and help with the singer's miseries and memories. The repetitive phrase "No matter where..." emphasizes the idea that the two people of the song will always be connected, even if they are far away from each other physically. The song seems to describe a deeply emotional and possibly romantic bond that cannot be broken by time or distance, as the two people will always see each other's faces in their minds, reminding them of their connection.
The lyrics also evoke a sense of vulnerability and helplessness, asking for someone to "help" with the singer's miseries and memories. The repetition of "can't somebody see" could also reflect a desire for validation and understanding from others in a world that has been unkind to the singer. Overall, the lyrics suggest a strong emotional connection between two people who may be geographically distant but are always in each other's minds.

Reminds me of the days with my first boyfriend in our small apartment. We were so keen to dig old music together. Little sweet and sour memories.

I met Arthur Lee at CBGBs in 1993. An amazing man.

The world needs about fifty times more music from the "Love" group than they ever had a chance to create.
