Impossible
Perry Como Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's impossible, ask a baby not to cry, it's just impossible
Can I hold you closer to me and not feel you goin' through me?
Split the second that I never think of you, oh, how impossible
Can the ocean keep from rushin' to the shore, it's just impossible
If I had you, could I ever want for more, it's just impossible
And tomorrow, should ya ask me for the world, somehow I'd get it
For to live without your love
It's just impossible
Can the ocean keep from rushin' to the shore, it's just impossible
If I had you, could I ever want for more, it's just impossible
And tomorrow, shouldya ask me for the world, somehow I'd get it
I would sell my very soul and not regret it
For to live without your love
It's just impossible
Impossible, impossible
The song "Impossible" by Perry Como is a heartbreaking ballad that expresses the devastating pain of losing someone you love. The first verse speaks to the impossibility of stopping the natural order of things, such as asking the sun to leave the sky or a baby not to cry. The second verse speaks to the impossible nature of trying to move on from a lost love, with the singer wondering if he can hold his love without feeling her go through him.
The chorus of the song repeats the word "impossible" several times, emphasizing the feeling of hopelessness and despair that comes with loving someone who is no longer with you. The bridge of the song offers a stark contrast, with the singer stating that he would do anything for the lost love, even sell his soul to the devil, rather than live without her.
