John I Love You
Sinéad O'Connor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm ever so fond of you
Will you wait for me
'Til I am heavenly
Oh there's much work to do
But I love you
Oh you're tender
I let tears fall like rain
Apple-sized they were
All over her
And through all of those times
When you could have died
This is what you find
There's life outside your mother's garden
There's life beyond your wildest dreams
There hasn't been any explosion
We're not spinning like Dorothy
If you look now then you'll see why
Don't be afraid to cry
This time don't let yourself fly
Child
Pick up those dancing shoes
Kick off those wedding blues
These are the ways
You can choose
Child you're tender
Your name's a whisper
There's life outside your mother's garden
There's life beyond your wildest dreams
There hasn't been any explosion
We're not spinning like Dorothy
If you look now then you'll see why
Don't be afraid to cry
This time don't let yourself fly
Child
Pick up those dancing shoes
Kick off those wedding blues
These are the ways
You can choose
Child I love you
I'm ever so fond of you

Yo RESPETO a mi HERMANA,
Yo RESPETO a una Madre.
Yo RESPETO a una Mujer...
No Al machismo,
No Al ala descriminacion de Mujeres,
No ala discrimination del sexo opuesto..
Las mujeres,Los Chicos y Los hombres, son parte de la VIDA, Del planets,las plantas,animales, del la Evolucion...
No te olvides...
No te olvides...
De vivir...
Sinead o'Connor...
