Where Are You
Petula Clark Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now that I want you so badly I could cry
Where are you (Where are you?)
Where did fate lead you (Where are you?)
Funny how I dreamed you'd still be standing by
I had you at my beck and call
I called you any time at all
I never thought I'd lie awake and sigh
Where are you, now that I need you
Now that I love you so madly I could die
I had you at my beck and call
I called you any time at all
I guess I took too much for granted
I never thought I'd lie awake and sigh
Where are you, now that I need you
Now that I love you so madly I could die
(Where are you, now that I need you)
Now that I love you so madly I could die
(Where are you?)
The lyrics of Petula Clark's song "Now That I Need You" are about a person who realizes too late how much they took their partner for granted. The singer laments the fact that the person they loved and relied on is no longer with them, and they are left feeling lonely and wondering where their partner is now that they are in desperate need of their love and support.
The singer reminisces about the times when they had their partner at their beck and call, and they could call them anytime they wanted. However, they were too blind to see how much they were relying on them and how important they were in their life. Now that their partner is gone, they feel the pain of their absence, and they are left asking where they are and why fate has led them apart.
It is interesting to note that even though the song talks about heartbreak, it is not a slow and melancholic ballad. Instead, it features an upbeat pop melody, which is characteristic of Petula Clark's music. The contrast between the lyrics and the melody creates a unique effect that captures the listener's attention.
