Surely you know how I stand on the question of my loving you
Haven’t I proved it in so many ways
Surely you can tell by the way I kiss your lips that I want you
More surely than my words can say

I see you stand and accuse me of no longer wanting you
Misunderstanding what others have seen
Surely you won’t let idle people with nothing else to rely on
Tear down all our hopes and our dreams

Tell me, does the rain fall (surely, surely)
And does the summer always follow spring
How does a turtle go (slowly, surely)
That’s how my love grows, surely, surely, surely

Darling, if your head misleads you
Just listen to your heart – it knows I need you
Just as surely as the sun is gonna rise
Just as surely as the birds are gonna sing
Just as surely as everything is part of everything
I’m a part of you
Surely you know that I’m a part of you
And surely you know that I love you
I love you

About Lyrics and Surely by Carole King

The lyrics to Surely are the words, verses and chorus for the song released by Carole King in 1971. Elements of the lyrics to Surely are both direct in meaning and also metaphorical with the real meanings of the song only known by Carole King and any collaborating writers working on the lyrics for Surely back when it was created.

Some people have an interest in the etymology behind words and phrases. You can take apart the lyrics to Surely by Carole King in a number of 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 Surely" means the words set to the music of Surely, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Carole King. 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 Surely and the lyrics to Surely are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Carole King who came here looking just for the lyrics to Surely, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
