Lyrics meaning
The speaker is expressing love directly and openly to someone who is far away. The feeling moves between affection and sadness: he says he loves the person, feels โblueโ without them, and hopes their relationship will continue. By the end, his need for closeness and his inability to hide his love are especially clear.
โDirectly from my heartโ suggests sincere, unguarded speech: he wants the listener to understand that his feelings are genuine. โFeel so blueโ is an idiom meaning to feel sad. The repeated wish that their love would โlast awayโ is unusual wording; in context, it seems to mean that he hopes their love will last, even with the distance between them.
The lyrics do not explain why the loved one is far away or whether the separation is temporary. The speaker imagines that they could be happy together, but this is a hope rather than a certainty. His repeated declarations may sound joyful and confident, yet the sadness in the song leaves room for a more vulnerable reading: he is trying to reassure the other personโand perhaps himselfโthat the love remains strong.
