There are so many songs that sing about the many phases of love including love ending. In Diana Ross' "Missing You" she sings about a love she lost abruptly. Throughout the song she declares how she misses someone who left her life, but she doesn't know why. In the first verse she sings, "...Trying to understand the reason you left me. What were you going through?" She goes on to sing how she misses them and wondered where things changed, "Tell me why the road turns."
Since you've been away, I've been down and lonely Since you've been away, I've been thinking of you Trying to understand the reason you left me What were you going through?
When you're missing someone everything around you, even the smallest of things reminds you of that person. And you usually remember the good things and it makes you smile. But then you become sad because there is still a lingering question of why. That is what Ross seeks to understand throughout the song. In the second verse she sings, "I still recall all those dreams we shared together. Where did you run to, boy?"
As I look around, I see things that remind me Just to see you smile made my heart fill with joy I still recall all those dreams we shared together Where did you run to, boy?
By the bridge of the song Ross realizes that she has to face the truth of this relationship. She expresses how they let time slip away. The first part of the song she spends the entire time questioning why things ended the way they did but neither of them ever did anything about it and now so much time has passed. She has to accept something she's feared which is they were never meant to be together and never will have a chance to see what their love could have been.
I've cried so many tears (oh)
Gotta face now all my fears (oh)
We let time slip away
I need you, boy, here today
Since you've been away, I've been down and lonely Since you've been away, I've been thinking of you Trying to understand the reason you left me What were you going through?
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, I'm missing you Tell me why the road turns Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, I'm missing you Tell me why the road turns
As I look around, I see things that remind me Just to see you smile made my heart fill with joy I still recall all those dreams we shared together Where did you run to, boy?
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, I'm missing you Tell me why the road turns (tell me why the road turns) Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, I'm missing you Tell me why the road turns
Sometimes I've wondered, I didn't understand Just where you were tryna go, only you knew the plan And I tried to be there, but you wouldn't let me in But now you've gone away, boy
I feel so broken-hearted (oh) I knew the day we started That we were meant to be If only you'd let me
I've cried so many tears (oh) Gotta face now all my fears (oh) We let time slip away I need you, boy, here today
There was so much you gave me to my heart, to my soul There was so much of your dreams that were never told You had so much hope for a brighter day Why were you, my flower, plucked away?
Tell me why the road turns (tell me why the road turns) Ooh-ooh (ooh-ooh, I'm missing you) Tell me why the road turns (tell me why the road turns)
Tell me, tell me why (ooh-ooh, I'm missing you) Tell me why the road turns (tell me why the road turns) Oh, don't understand it (ooh-ooh, I'm missing you) Ah-hah, can you hear me, baby?
Tell me why the road turns (tell me why the road turns) (Ooh-ooh, I'm missing you)
You ever heard a song and it fit your current relationship story perfectly? That's how it was when I rediscovered Patti LaBelle's, "If You Asked Me To." LaBelle, released this song in 1989 from her album, Be Yourself . I remember hearing the Celine Dion version as well and falling in love with the song all over again. Celine Dion is another artist who has hits! I love the way she covers Jennifer Rush's, " The Power of Love. " It wasn't until I was in my late 20s that "If You Asked Me To" began to represent a moment in my love life. I was dating a guy, and we were in the car driving to his family's house because they all lived on one block. They would all gather together on the weekend to play cards and cookout and all the kids could play freely and random games would start, and it was a lot of fun. I loved that he enjoyed spending time with his extended family, and I could see that his nieces and nephews really loved him and enjo
I Could Fall In Love - The "Seductive Romantic Confessional" I became familiar with the American singer "Selena" Quintanilla after the movie about her life was released in 1997. I remember watching it at home and being glued to the television from beginning to end. While watching the movie I learned that this song was the first song to crossover into the American billboard and that she sung in English. I like this song because it is so relatable. I believe that many of us have stumbled into relationships where we realize suddenly that there could be more, and it could be great but then you question should it be? This song sings innocently about the first moments in love when all is new, and you are wondering what it could be. I love how this song is described as a "seductive romantic confessional. I would not have described it as a "seductive" until I translated the words that Selena speaks midways in the song. "I'm always dreaming o
