You My Love [Dennis DeYoung]

You My Love

And now, now that your love is gone
I'm barely hanging on
So lost here without you
'Cause you, you were the only one
My one and only one
Who said you'd always love me

But knowing now how you deceived me
I'm wondering how you could leave me this way

So I'll pray, pray for a miracle
Read every oracle
Hoping they'll guide me
While you, you who could not explain
The reasons for all this pain
You've left here inside me hide me

Far away so I won't rеmember
The promisеs we made on that day

'Cause when I said I do
I swore I'd stay with you
Through the good and bad times
And all that comes between
I vowed I'd place no one above
You my love

And so I sit here all alone
Hand on the telephone
Hoping you'll call me
But I see, even through all these tears
So many wasted years
That it was all me baby

Cause I would climb, climb any mountain
Any time that you needed me there

'Cause when I said, I do
I swore I'd stay, with you
Through the good and bad times
And all that comes between
I swore I'd place no one above
You my love

You my love 

Interpretation

You were the only one I loved, and you promised to always love me, but you lied to me and now have left me alone, which leaves me lost and lonely. I will pray for us to get back together again, even though you left me without any explanation. When we married, I promised to love you and stay with you forever through good and bad, and I meant that.  I will stay true to you, waiting for you to call. I know that I was wrong and made mistakes, which must have caused you to leave, but I would do anything to have you back. I still love you.
