Here is another of those splendidly sparse songs. The kind that works magic on your heart, but falls to pieces if you try to take it apart and see why it works. Under analytical scrutiny, there doesn't seem to be any reason why this song should work so well. But it does.
Today, I Started Loving You Again
Today I started loving you again I'm right back where I've really always been I got over you just long enough to let my heartache mend Then today, I started loving you again
What a fool I was to think I could get by With only these few millions tears I cry I should have known the worst was yet to come And that crying time for me had just begun
Cause today I started loving you again I'm right back where I've really always been I got over you just long enough to let my heartache mend Then today I started loving you again
Well today I started loving you again I'm right back where I've really always been I got over you just long enough to let my heartache mend Then today I started loving you again Then today I started loving you again
This song has basically two unique verses, and only one idea. But I bow before its majesty. My only clue is that it works by putting the hearer to work. The listener hears what the song is about, and fills in all the voids with the sad tincture of his own sorrow. At least, I do.
