Love Letter
Marc Almond & The Willing Sinners Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can't help but to cry
And time won't heal
By and by
There are times
You can't hold back the tears
And hurt won't heal
But, I will always love you
Always love you
Always you and no-one else but you
There are times
When the world is cruel
And I won't be there for you
There are times
You can't hold back the tears
And hurt will heal
With the years
I will always love you
Always love you
Always you and no-one else but you
When storms come our way
When tides wash away
When storms come our way
When tides wash away
I will always love you
Always love you
Love you love you love you love you
Always love you
The lyrics in "Love Letter" by Marc Almond describe the enduring and unwavering love that one person has for another. The song is an emotional ballad that is rich in imagery and metaphor, touching on themes of loss, heartbreak, and overcoming adversity.
The opening two stanzas describe the pain and sadness that can come with life's hardships, both in the present and with memories that linger on. However, through all of this, the singer reassures the listener that their love will never waver or falter, providing a beacon of hope and comfort in trying times.
The chorus of the song emphasizes this message of eternal love, repeating the phrase "Always love you" three times to emphasize the depth of the singer's feelings. Even when the world is cruel and life is difficult, the love between the two people remains steadfast and unchanging.
The final two stanzas of the song use natural imagery to further emphasize the strength of this love. The metaphor of storms and tides washing away serves as a reminder that life can be unpredictable and difficult, but the love shared by these two people endures through it all.
