Interpretation
In the song "Live Here with You" by
Dusty Springfield, it is about a person who is asked by someone else to live with them. Although the person wants to, they cannot give their heart and hand. They are aware that they cannot give their love as they should.
The person confesses that there is no one else and that their fear is the reason why they are unable to show their love fully. They ask the other person to show them the way and teach them how true love is made.
The person also expresses that if they could, they would give their heart and hand. They would give them the sea and the land. If they had found love, they would give their life for them.
The person has called the name of the other person and only known them in their dreams. They wonder if what they feel is love or if they are deceiving themselves by wishing for their dreams to come true.
If the person could, they would give their heart and hand. They would give them the sea and the land. If they had found love, they would give their life for them.
The song ends with the imagination that all the pain in their life would disappear if the other person knew how much they love them and they would wipe away all the tears of their joy if asked to live with them.
