Evergreen
Will Young Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Eyes, like a sunrise,
Like a rainfall down my soul.
And I wonder, I wonder why you look at me like that, what you're thinking, what's behind
Don't tell me but it feels, like, lo-o-ove.

I'm gonna take this moment
And make it last forever
I'm gonna give my, heart away
And pray we'll stay together
'Cause you're the one good reason
You're the only girl, that I need
'Cause you're more beautiful then I have ever seen,
Oh yeah
I'm gonna take this life and make it evergreen

Touched, like an angel
Like a velvet to my skin
And I wonder
I wonder why you want to stay the night
What you're thinking what's behind
Don't tell me but it feel
Li-I-ike lo-o-o-ove

I'm gonna take this moment
And make it last forever
I'm gonna give my, heart away
And pray we'll stay together
'Cause you're the one good reason
You're the only girl, that I need
'Cause you're more beautiful then I have ever seen,
Oh yeah
I'm gonna take this life and make it evergreen

We can make it last for evermore
Don't tell me but it feels like love
Oh

I'm gonna take this
Take this moment, make it last forever
I'm gonna give you my heart away
And pray we'll stay together
'Cause you're the one good reason
You're the only girl, that I need
'Cause you're more beautiful then I have ever seen,




Oh yeah
I'm gonna take this life and make it evergreen

The lyrics emphasize the beauty of the person and the importance of their presence in the singer's life, culminating in the decision to take life and make it "evergreen," a timeless and enduring love.


The use of sensory language, such as "eyes like a sunrise" and "touched like an angel," creates a rich and vivid image of the depth of emotion being experienced.

I am so sorry for your son about 11 years ago today and your son is looking down on you from heaven to you and your son love you so much ❀️

@adamclark7564

My dad passed like 20 years ago. This was a song at his funeral, I've only now picked up the courage to listen back.
It's easy to shut emotions out but 20years and I still find it hard and miss him.

@jamesgrahamboyd6837

I'm so so sorry for your loss
