Hello
Northern Kings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And in my dreams I've kissed your lips a thousand times
I sometimes see you pass outside my door
Hello, is it me you're looking for?
I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your smile
You're all I've ever wanted, (and) my arms are open wide
And you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much, I love you...
I long to see the sunlight in your hair
And tell you time and time again how much I care
Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow
Hello, I've just got to let you know
'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely, or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying, I love you...
Hello, is it me you're looking for?
'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying... I love you
The Northern Kings' cover of Lionel Richie's "Hello" is about a man who is deeply in love with someone who doesn't know how he feels. The opening lines of the song reveal that the man has been alone with his thoughts, dreaming about being with this person. He has kissed her a thousand times in his dreams, but in reality, he only sees her pass outside his door. The chorus is the man's desperate attempt to reach out to the person he loves, asking if they're looking for him too. He knows that she is all he's ever wanted and his arms are open wide for her. He wants to tell her how much he loves her and how much he cares, but he doesn't know how to win her heart.
The second verse delves deeper into the man's feelings. He longs to see the sunlight in her hair and to tell her time and time again how much he cares. He feels that his heart will overflow with his emotions if he doesn't let her know how he feels. He wonders where she is and what she's doing, whether she's feeling lonely or if someone is loving her. The man wants to know how to win her heart, but he admits that he hasn't got a clue. He starts off by saying that he loves her, hoping that it will be enough to capture her heart.
