1992 With You V3
Tom Williams Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Corrina, Corrina
Gal, where you been so long?
Corrina, Corrina
Gal, where you been so long?

I been worryin' about you, baby
Baby, please come home

I got a bird that whistles
I got a bird that sings
I got a bird that whistles
I got a bird that sings

But I ain't a-got Corrina
Life don't mean a thing

Corrina, Corrina
Gal, you're on my mind
Corrina, Corrina
Gal, you're all on my mind

I was sittin' down thinkin' of you
I just can't keep from crying

The song opens with him asking where she has been for so long and expressing his worry about her absence. He tells her that he has birds that whistle and sing, but without her in his life, it feels like it doesn't mean anything. He's clearly struggling without her and hopes that she'll come back to him soon.

The chorus repeats the refrain of her name, emphasizing her constant presence in his thoughts. He thinks about her constantly and can't help but cry when he does. The lyrics are simple, but they convey a profound sense of longing and loss.

Overall, the song is a poignant reminder of the power of love and the impact that a single person can have on our lives. It speaks to the universal experience of missing someone we love and hoping that they'll come back to us. The raw emotion in Williams's voice as he sings the lyrics makes it clear that this is a deeply personal and meaningful song for him.
