You're My Girl
Ray Ellis and His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've fallen for somebody new
It isn't too easy believing
You'd leave after all we've been through
It's breaking my heart to remember
The dreams we depended upon
Your leaving is slow dying ember
I wish you joy though tear drops burn
But if some day you should care to return
Please hurry back and we'll make a new start
Til then you're breaking my heart
I wish you joy though tear drops burn
But if some day you should care to return
Please hurry back and we'll make a new start dear
Til then you're breaking my heart
The lyrics to Ray Ellis and His Orchestra's song "You're My Girl" tell the story of heartbreak and the end of a relationship. The singer is addressing someone who is leaving him to be with someone new, and he is struggling to come to terms with this change. He cannot believe that after all they've been through, the other person would leave and he is left with memories of the dreams they shared. The pain of losing someone dear to him is compared to a slow dying ember.
In spite of the heartbreak, the singer is willing to wish the other person joy and happiness, even if it means he will be left in tears. He also offers the possibility of a new start if the other person should ever want to come back, but until then, he is left to suffer the agony of a broken heart. This song captures the raw emotions associated with the end of a relationship and serves as a reminder that sometimes love just isn't enough to keep two people together.
