Thinking 'Bout You
Yusuf (Cat Stevens) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I hold your hand,
I could fly a zillion miles with you.
When I see your grace,
I can see you're God's words come true.
Every little bird above the haze,
And fish beneath the waves,
Knows about you
Wouldn't they do.

When I see your eyes,
I can see rainbows in the sky.
Being with you,
All who parted reunite.
Every little pearl drop in the clouds,
And stones beneath the ground,
Are waiting for you
Wouldn't they do.

Whatever you say
Lightens up the burden of the day.
Whatever you do
Makes us ever want to follow you.

Whatever they say,
Whatever they do,
I'll always love you.

Every burning comet that zooms,
And angels too,
Think about you
Wouldn't they do.

Thinkin' bout you,
I could climb a mountain in the dark.
Listenin' to you,
Flowers dance in the park.

Whatever they say,
Whatever they do,
We'll always love you.

The words that you say,
Lightens up the burdens of the day.
Whatever you do,
Makes us want to follow you.

Whatever they say,




Whatever they do,
I'll always love you.

When I hold your hand I could fly a zillion miles with you
When I see your grace I can see you're God's words come true
Every little bird above the haze and fish beneath the waves
Knows about you, wouldn't they do

When I see your eyes I can see rainbows in the sky
Being with you all who parted reunite
Every little pearl drop in the clouds and stones beneath the ground
Are waiting for you, wouldn't they do

Whatever you say lightens up the burden of the day
Whatever you do makes us ever want to follow you
Whatever they say, whatever they do
I'll always love you

Every burning comet that zooms and angels too
Think about you, wouldn't they do

Thinkin' 'bout you I could climb a mountain in the dark
Listenin' to you flowers dance in the park
Whatever they say, whatever they do

The words that you say lightens up the burdens of the day
Whatever you do makes us wanna follow you
Whatever they say, whatever they do

I loved his music, lyrics and style along with the persona of the man. He's a year younger than I, but oh, so much wiser. The needs millions more like him - whether you know him as Steven Demetre Georgiou, Cat Stevens or Yusuf Islam. He is and always will be a man I look up to.

This is the meaning of true love. When you love someone, you will not listen to anyone else who speaks ill of the one you love.

@dongmingling4052
