I Love You
Sarah McLachlan(사라 맥라클란) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stretched from ear to ear
To see you walking down the road
We meet at the lights
I stare for a while
The world around us disappears
It's just you and me
On my island of hope
Let me surround you
My sea to your shore
Let me be the calm you seek
Oh and every time I'm close to you
There's too much I can't say
And you just walk away
And I forgot
To tell you
I love you
And the night's
Too long
And cold here
Without you
I grieve in my condition
For I cannot find the words to say I need you so
Oh and every time I'm close to you
There's too much I can't say
And you just walk away
And I forgot
To tell you
I love you
And the night's
Too long
And cold here
Without you
I grieve in my condition
For I cannot find the words to say I need you so

I have a smile
I am filled with happiness
Stretched from ear to ear
My joy is so immense that it shows in my smile
To see you walking down the road
Because I love you, seeing you brings me joy
We meet at the lights
We come together at a common point in our lives
I stare for a while
I admire you and appreciate what you bring to my life
The world around us disappears
In your presence, all else fades and loses importance
It's just you and me
Our connection is so strong that nothing else matters
On my island of hope
In my heart, you represent a place of safety and positivity
A breath between us could be miles
The distance between us in our relationship can feel vast and insurmountable
Let me surround you
I want to envelop you with my love and protection
My sea to your shore
We complement each other in a way that is natural and harmonious
Let me be the calm you seek
I want to bring serenity to your life when the world is chaotic
Oh and every time I'm close to you
I feel a strong emotional connection when I am near you
There's too much I can't say
I have deep feelings that are difficult to express
And you just walk away
I fear losing you because I am unable to fully articulate my emotions
And I forgot
I regret not making my feelings known sooner
To tell you
Expressing my love is something that I wish I had done
I love you
I have strong emotions of affection and devotion towards you
And the night's
The time without you feels long and difficult
Too long
The pain of being without you is unbearable
And cold here
Without your warmth and love, life feels empty and lonely
Without you
Your presence makes every difference in my life
I grieve in my condition
I feel deep sorrow because of my current state
For I cannot find the words to say I need you so
I struggle to express how much I rely on you and the depth of my love

"I Love You"
I have a smile
stretched from ear to ear
to see you walking down the road
we meet at the lights
I stare for a while
the world around us disappears
just you and me
on my island of hope
a breath between us could be miles
let me surround you
my sea to your shore
let me be the calm you seek
oh and every time I'm close to you
there's too much I can't say
and you just walk away
and I forgot
to tell you
I love you
and the night's
too long
and cold here
without you
I grieve in my condition
for I cannot find the words to say I need you so
oh and every time I'm close to you
there's too much I can't say
and you just walk away
and I forgot
to tell you
I love you
and the night's
too long
and cold here
without you

This is not just about couples. This makes me think of my son that killed himself in 2011. My "smile stretched from ear to ear", was when we were together from a baby till he was 29. "and you just walk away" is when he left this world. "I can not find the words to say I need you so". Is how I have felt ever since he left. "it;s cold here without you", Danny.

I cried for you. I felt that. I hope you still find beauty in life and think of your son when you hear and see anything that is bright and alive. He is energy. He is still alive. You just have to wait. I'm so sorry.

— I was married with newborn. One Saturday morning I got up unusually early to prepare my coupon-shopping list. Infant & wife were still asleep, as outside was still dark from the leftover night.
— I sat alone at the kitchen table & put in this Sarah Mclachlan CD and played this song very quietly while the rest of the household stay hushed in slumber.
— Shortly after my beautiful young wife emerged all poofy-faced & smiley. She pulled out a chair and sat with me all quiet & happy, softly speaking a few loving words to add to this peaceful moment.
— The song played on repeat a few times while we enjoyed this quiet moment together -- just the two of us, while baby slept tucked away warm in her crib.
— It was a beautiful moment that I connected to this song. This song always takes me back. I still cherish that memory today. That was twenty years ago.
