"Without You"

When I listened to My Little Red Book of Winners! a couple days ago, I also noticed something about "Without You."  The phrase "so sad" in the lines "But you know I'm so sad, baby / So sad all the time" alliterates, and in a small way, the repetition of the initial sound emphasizes this degree.

"Without You"

In the line "So sad all the time" in "Without You," both "sad" and "time" are sung with melismas (C D and G F D, respectively), giving a sense of degree (for "so") and entirety (for "all").
