Valleys
Whitney Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's got to be another way
I've been on my own all day
Pretending everything's alright
We've been drifting apart for some time

There's fire burning in the trees
Maybe life is the way it seems
I feel like I'm holding on
To a place in your heart that's long gone

My love, my love
My love, my love

I never wanna fade away
Wanna turn as the seasons change
And every time you come around
Well the days of the year just slow down

My love, my love
My love, my love





My love, my love
My love, my love

Overall Meaning

In Whitney's song Valleys, the lyricist addresses the feeling of being stuck in a relationship where one's partner seems to have lost interest or affection. The opening verse, "There's got to be another way / I've been on my own all day / Pretending everything's alright / We've been drifting apart for some time," suggests a growing distance between the two individuals, and the singer is looking for a way to revive their connection.


The following verse, "There's fire burning in the trees / Maybe life is the way it seems / I feel like I'm holding on / To a place in your heart that's long gone," illustrates the internal struggle the singer is experiencing, trying to make sense of the emotions they are feeling. The repetition of "my love, my love" serves to emphasize the complexity of the emotions involved, and the desire to hold onto a fading love.

I feel like I’ve heard this song in a past life, in the 1970’s. This song is so beautiful

@BroJo676

Listening to this song, I'm lying down my bed thinking about how bad I miss and love my dad. He's not perfect but he's perfect at being the only and best dad I've ever known and had.
PS Thank God, he's still alive!
