I Concentrate on You
Reeves Dianne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And trouble begins to brew,
Whenever the Winter winds become too strong,
I concentrate on you.
When fortune cries "Nay! Nay!" to me
And people declare "You're through!",
Whenever the blues become my only song,
On your smile so sweet, so tender,
When at first your kiss I decline.
On the light in your eyes when I surrender,
And once again our arms intertwine
And so, when wise men say to me
That love's young dream never comes true,
To prove that even wise men can be wrong,
I concentrate on you.

Whenever skies look gray to me
When I'm feeling down
And trouble begins to brew,
And things start to go wrong
Whenever the Winter winds become too strong,
When life's hardships become overwhelming
I concentrate on you.
I focus on the love that I have for you.
When fortune cries "Nay! Nay!" to me
When luck seems to be against me
And people declare "You're through!",
And others doubt my abilities
Whenever the blues become my only song,
When sadness takes over my life
I concentrate on you.
I focus on the love that I have for you.
On your smile so sweet, so tender,
I think about how warm and kind your smile is
When at first your kiss I decline.
Even when I'm hesitant to be close to you
On the light in your eyes when I surrender,
I recall how your eyes light up when we come back together
And once again our arms intertwine
As we embrace once more
And so, when wise men say to me
And even when experienced people tell me
That love's young dream never comes true,
That love is just a fantasy
To prove that even wise men can be wrong,
I show that even the most knowledgeable can be mistaken
I concentrate on you.
I focus on the love that I have for you.
