Key Grammar Structures
-
You're always on my mind
➔ Present continuous for something that happens often (sometimes to express annoyance).
➔ Here, it shows a recurring thought. "You're" is a contraction of "You are". Although technically continuous, in songs, it's often used more loosely.
-
Brightest star to let me see
➔ Infinitive of purpose (to + verb).
➔ "to let me see" explains the purpose of the star. It is the reason why that star is the brightest star.
-
I pray to be with you through rain and shiny days
➔ Use of the infinitive "to be" after the verb "pray". Preposition "through" indicating duration or passage.
➔ The sentence express a wish or hope for the future, using "to be". "Through rain and shiny days" illustrates enduring commitment.
-
I'll love you till I die
➔ Future Simple (will + verb) with a time clause introduced by "till".
➔ "I'll love you" expresses a future action. "till I die" provides the time frame for this action. "I'll" is a contraction of "I will".
-
Deep as sea, wide as sky
➔ Simile using "as...as" for comparison.
➔ This compares the depth and width of the love to the vastness of the sea and sky, respectively. The adjectives "deep" and "wide" are modified by the structure "as [adjective] as [noun]".
-
Need you all my life
➔ Omission of the subject pronoun and auxiliary verb. Implicitly, "I need you all my life."
➔ This is a common stylistic choice in songs to create a more direct and emotional impact. The listener understands the speaker's intention.
-
In your arms I find my heaven
➔ Inversion of the subject and verb for emphasis.
➔ Instead of the more common "I find my heaven in your arms," the structure "In your arms I find..." places emphasis on the location (in your arms). This is a less common, more poetic construction.
-
May life our love paradise
➔ Use of "May" to express a wish or hope (optative mood). Subject-Verb Inversion. Typically, the sentence would be "May life make our love paradise" where "make" is omitted but implied.
➔ This is a formal and slightly archaic way of expressing a strong wish. The verb 'make' is implied here, creating a more concise and poetic statement.
