You Made Me Love You
Roger Hodgson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I said alright, you make me love you, it's alright, you make me love you
When the winter wind is a-blowin', well you never know where it's goin'
For the land is cold and the night is closing in
You can feel your heart is getting older
you can feel the world is getting colder
And it feels so good with you standing next to me
Oh baby alright, I think I love you
It's alright, you make me love you
Oh I said alright, I think I love you
It's alright, you make me love you
Now the days are all getting shorter, they seem to slip away like water
For the land is cold and the night is closing in
But you're always there when I need you
when it feels the world is against you
Oh it feels so close with you standing next to me
Oh baby alright, I think I love you
it's alright, I think I need you
Oh babe it's alright I think I want you, I think I need you
Oh babe it's alright, oh babe it's alright, now that you're here
Oh it's an icy wind that's a-blowin' and you never know where it's goin'
But it feels so good when you're curled up close to me
Oh baby alright I think I love you, it's alright you make me love you
I said it's alright, I think I need you, it's alright you make me love you
The lyrics of "You Make Me Love You" by Roger Hodgson paint the picture of a cold and bleak winter landscape. The singer acknowledges the harshness of the weather and the desolate feeling it can bring. However, there is one thing that makes it all worthwhile: the person standing next to him. The singer expresses his love for this person and how they make everything seem so much better. Even though the world may seem to be against them, they can find solace in each other's company. The repeated refrain of "alright, you make me love you" emphasizes how important this person is to the singer and how they bring light into his cold, dark world.

Eu não acredito que consegui achar essa música meu Deus! Depois de tantos anos procurando ela, desde a minha adolescência em 1987, eu procuro por ela! Ela era tema no desfile do Show da Xuxa, e eu fiz de tudo pra gravá-la numa fita K7. Pedia a minha tia pra ir na loja de discos, e procurá-la no LP do Phil Collins, achava que era do Phil Collins. Até que ontem liguei o rádio e estava passando, uma música que eu também adorava mas que também não sabia o nome, e de quem era. Peguei de imediato o meu smartphone pra identificar e era Land Ho, desse mesmo cantor. Achei que o timbre de voz era parecido, hoje procurei em todas as músicas dele até que achei. Não acredito encontrei duas músicas de minha adolescência, de uma vez: Land Ho e está! Sonhava tanto em ter essa música, agora sim posso até morrer em paz. Obrigado Senhor, por este presente que estava procurando há tantas décadas, estou até emocionado chorando! Obrigado meu Deus, o meu presente de aniversário veio adiantado um mês! 😭😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😍🇧🇷
