Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I, didn't want to be without you
And I, lost what I had and now your gone
You, you always meant the world to me
You, you never wanted much you see
And you, you changed my life but now you gone
But now, now your gone
Your photograph brings back sweet memories
Something about you I don't know what it is
Your face so young the days so long
But now, your gone
In my heart you were the one
But now, your gone
Yeah now, now your gone
But now, your gone
The song "Now You're Gone" by Lynne Jeffs is a heart-wrenching track that speaks about a lost love. The lyrics depict a deep sense of longing and regret for the time spent with someone who is now gone. In the opening lines, the singer confesses that she was crazy about her partner and did not want to be without them, but for some reason, they parted ways.
As the song progresses, it is clear that the singer feels a profound sense of loss since the partner meant the world to her. The partner never asked for much, but they changed the singer's life in some way. The chorus repeats the words "In my heart, you were the one, but now, you're gone," emphasizing how much the person meant to the singer, but they are no longer around.
The lyrics also touch upon the idea of memories and how they can evoke certain emotions. The singer mentions that the partner's photograph brings back sweet memories, even though she can't put a finger on precisely what it is. The days seem so long, but the person in the photo is still so young. The closing lines repeat that the partner is, indeed, gone, and it seems as though the singer is coming to terms with that fact.
