Be With Me
Stevie Hoang - Be With Me (2007) [www.RnB4U.in] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hundreds of lives
Counting the years
Always alone
Holding back tears
And then you arrived
Walked through my door
You were the soul
I'd waited for
Oh ah oh
Stay with me, ah oh
Stay with me, my love
Forever with me
You can't feel my touch
Like I'm not even there
When I kiss your face
I'm a chill in the air
I'm reading your books
I'm the voice in the hall
The man by your side
Haunting these walls
Oh ah oh
Stay with me, ah oh
Stay with me, oh my love
Forever with me
These boney hands,
have so much to give
You can't be with me though
As long as you live
Oh ah oh
Stay with me, ah oh
Stay with me, oh my love
Forever with me
You breathe through the pain
It can't be undone
And soon you'll be free
And have all my love
Oh ah oh
Stay with me, ah oh




Stay with me, oh my love
Forever with me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Stevie Hoang's 2007 song Be With Me are a poignant reflection on the isolation and loneliness that can come with life before finding the one you've been waiting for. The singer, in counting the years of his past, has been consumed by a sense of solitude that has been all-consuming. When his love finally arrives, however, it's as if she walked through the door to his very soul. He acknowledges the ghost-like feeling he experiences in her presence, but he is insistent that he'll always be with her, even after he's gone.


Additionally, the line "reading your books" highlights the level of intimacy in their relationship - even when he's not physically there, he's present in her world. The song's melancholic tone is accentuated by its slow, mournful melody and Hoang's evocative, soulful delivery. The lyrics provide a moving picture of what it feels like to be so alone before finding the one you love, and the desperation that can come with the knowledge that time is fleeting, and that nothing can last forever.
