I hear the cottonwoods whisperin' above,
"Tammy ... Tammy ... Tammy's in love"
The ole hooty-owl hooty-hoos to the dove,
"Tammy ... Tammy ... Tammy's in love"
Does my lover feel
What I feel
When he comes near?
My heart beats so joyfully,
You'd think that he could hear
Wish I knew if he knew
What I'm dreamin' of
Tammy ... Tammy ... Tammy's in love
Whippoorwill, whippoorwill, you and I know
Tammy ... Tammy ... can't let him go
The breeze from the bayou keeps murmuring low:
"Tammy ... Tammy ... you love him so"
When the night is warm,
Soft and warm,
I long for his charms
I'd sing like a violin
If I were in his arms
Wish I knew if he knew
What I'm dreaming of
Tammy ... Tammy ... Tammy's in love

Note: From the 1957 film "Tammy and the Bachelor,"
starring Debbie Reynolds, Leslie Nielsen, and Walter
Brennan. Reynolds' single of this song spent 23 weeks on
the "Top 40" charts, starting 07/22/57. It was #1 for five weeks. It was also nominated for a "Best Song" Academy Award for 1957 (but lost to "All the Way" from the film "The Joker is Wild.")

There are many ways you can interpret this, and which way is chosen should be determined by the way the person who spoke/wrote these words comes across generally.
Literally: They value your input, and greatly value your presence. They want you to continue to advise them. They think you may not fully understand what they are saying, and want to reassure you that your not understanding is OK with them.
Sarcastically or glibly: You are not helping, and I need to get away from your bad influence. I see little chance of us being together for much longer, and although I once loved you I think we're drifting apart. I no longer care what you do with your life, so do whatever you want. Goodbye.
Metaphorically (with hidden messages): I need some time alone to think about what we talked about. You have said or done something that I need to consider carefully, and prefer not to give you any hints as to how I feel about the situation until I have considered it from all angles and determined an appropriate response. Please be patient with me, and I promise I will return when I am ready with an answer I am sure is good and right for me, you and us.
As I mentioned above, it is EXTREMELY important you know from which point of view the person who wrote this is coming from. Consider the context of the conversation this camee from, the state of mind of the speaker, and the circumstantial environment the conversation took place in. Everything is important. As I'm sure you are now aware, the possibilities as to where the speaker is coming from are so diverse, that you CANNOT afford to guess which one the speaker meant.
If in any doubt, ASK THEM!! Of course I shouldn't need to mention that if you ask them, their answer will be in the same code as the above-mentioned phrasing, unless you specifically ask them to speak literally, no sarcasm, no riddles, no metaphors, just cold hard honesty from the bone.
Good luck!

Sounds to me like someone is saying "thanks for the advice" and for being such a good listener. You'll always be special....but it's time to move on.
Not interested in anything more with you.
Politely.

its not break up.it seems he or she is very happy to be in this relationship with you.look at this "i will continue...." it means everything is ok and the relationship will continue and whatever happen nothing can break it up.and it seems it wants to know if you really like to be in this relation or not.

sounds like someone in the relationship is ready to walk out, and they dont' want hard feelings left behind.

someone is about to leave even though they really don't want to.it's a decision that they had to make, but, they're letting that person know they love them still.

Shakespeare maybe? to me it sounds like someone is hitting the road and doesn't necessarily want to.
