Lyrics meaning
The speaker misses someone deeply and spends the night thinking about them. Memories of their past together feel beautiful and tender, but they also make the separation more painful. The repeated question about when they will meet again shows longing and uncertainty: the speaker wants reunion but does not know when, or whether, it will happen.
The โvisionsโ in shades of blue suggest dreamlike pictures of the absent person. Blue may also hint at sadness, though the lyrics do not explain the color directly. The images of the person โsmoking, shifting, lazily driftingโ make the memory seem hazy and changing, as if it is passing through the speakerโs mind rather than being fully present. Saying that life seemed to โstart and endโ with this person expresses how central the relationship felt.
The song presents love through memory more than through details about the relationship itself. The speaker may be remembering a former partner, or simply someone temporarily far away; the lyrics do not tell us why they are apart. The repeated question can sound hopeful, but its insistence also suggests frustration or sadness. The memories are warmly cherished, yet they keep the speaker focused on an uncertain future reunion.
