Scott Jimmy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Though life is empty since you have gone.
You're always on my mind, though out of sight,
It's lonesome through the day,
But oh! the night.
I cry my heart out, it's bound to break,
Since nothing matters, let it break.
I ask the sun and the moon,
What's to become of it,
This love of mine.

As the song progresses, the lyrics suggest an acceptance of the inevitability of a broken heart. The singer recognizes that their heart is bound to break, but is willing to let it do so.

This love of mine goes on and on,
My love for you is unending.
Though life is empty since you have gone.
Since you left, my life feels meaningless without you.
You're always on my mind, though out of sight,
You are constantly in my thoughts even though you are not physically present.
It's lonesome through the day,
I am lonely during the day without you.
But oh! the night.
But the nights are the hardest without you.
I cry my heart out, it's bound to break,
I cry so much that it feels like my heart is going to shatter.
Since nothing matters, let it break.
Since my love for you is the most important thing, if my heart breaks, so be it.
I ask the sun and the moon,
I search for answers in the biggest things in the universe.
The stars that shine,
I look to the stars for guidance.
What's to become of it,
What will happen to our love?
This love of mine.
My love for you is never-ending and unshakeable.

This song has taken on new meaning for me now that Jimmy has passed onto glory.
How I miss him so.

The Source should have made him a star, it was a crime that this album was kept from the public for the public for almost 3 decades.

Jimmy recorded it for Atlantic Records in 1969 ~
