I See You
Rob Starr The Hollywood Singers and Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hear a million voices, but only your voice comes through.
I wait for your footsteps, I've waited before,
I know if it's you if you knock at my door,
I know you're around by the sound of my pounding heart!
I see a million faces, but what do I really see?
A million little traces keep bringing you back to me;
What can I do if you're always there?
I see a million people, but all I can see is you!
The song "I See You" by Rob Starr and The Hollywood Singers and Orchestra expresses a deep sense of longing and obsession with a loved one. Despite being surrounded by endless people and voices, the singer can only focus on one person - the object of their affection. The line "I wait for your footsteps, I've waited before" suggests that this person has been absent before, leaving the singer desperate to feel their presence again. The repetition of "I know" emphasizes the singer's deep connection with this person as they can recognize them simply by the sound of their footsteps or the pounding of their heart.
The second verse continues the theme of the singer's inability to forget this person, despite their efforts to move on. The line "a million little traces keep bringing you back to me" suggests that memories and reminders of this person are inescapable, reinforcing their importance in the singer's life. The line "What can I do if you're always there?" is a rhetorical question that emphasizes the singer's helplessness in the face of their emotions. The repetition of "I see a million people, but all I can see is you" at the end of both verses reinforces the central theme of the song.
