Otis Redding Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll write a letter each and every day now
Oh, honey, nothing, nothing, nothing
Nothing is ever gonna change this love
I have for you, oh no, oh no
You can make me weep
Or you can make me moan
I'll just say, "Well, welcome home now"
For honey, nothing, nothing in this world
Could ever stop this love
Could ever stop this love
I have for you, oh no, oh no
Oh, you're the apple of my eye
My sweet little cherry pie
[Incomprehensible], you can be
My cake and ice cream
Sugar and spice
Everything nice
You can be the
Girl of my dreams
If you would only [Incomprehensible]
When you get back, when you get back
I'll just say, "Well, welcome home now"
Oh my darling, nothing
Nothing, nothing
Nothing could ever change
This love I have for you, oh no, oh no

I hereby state that if your soul isn't touched by this song, you really gotta make it a priority to get there. It won't change the chaos of 2019 onward, but can bring you a few moments of being in touch with anti-chaos stability.
