Someone- I’m searching for someone who’ll be true, who’ll change my life of blue
into a dream of golden rainbows, where are you?

It seems I’ve been searching, searching more than just one lifetime.
My heart is a magnet all for you, I’ll know you when I see you.
Within my heart is carved a sculpture of your love.

Life is worth less than nothing without love. Love is the force from which all beings live.
Don’t you see? It’s the purpose of living to love and be loved again and again.
Where are you? My heart cries for you. My eyes long to see you. My soul is all for you.
Oh, where are you, someone?

Don’t you see? It’s the purpose of living to love and be loved again and again.
Where are you? My heart cries for you. My eyes long to see you. My soul is all for you.
Oh, where are you, someone?

About Lyrics and Someone by James Taylor

The lyrics for Someone are made up of the words, verses and background chorus for the popular 1972 song by James Taylor. Like a lot of songs, the lyrics to Someone have both direct meanings and metaphorical context hidden within the song's words. All of the meanings are only truly known by the creators of the lyrics for Someone - James Taylor and any of the writers who worked with them on the song.

If you have an interest in the structure of words and phrases, you can dissect the lyrics to Someone by James Taylor in multiple ways. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Someone" means the words set to the music of Someone, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by James Taylor. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Someone and the lyrics to Someone are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of James Taylor who came here looking just for the lyrics to Someone, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
