Good Morning Song
A Melodic Confession of Love: Anthony Lazaro's Good Morning Song
Lyrics
Good morning, girl
Expressing a greeting and positive sentiment to the girl.
Excuse me if I'm calling early
Apologizing for calling early and setting the context for the conversation.
Got something on my mind
Indicating a specific matter on the speaker's mind.
That I couldn't wait to tell you
Expressing eagerness to share something with the girl.
It's not easy to say
Acknowledging the difficulty in expressing what needs to be said.
So, may I ask you to play
Proposing a guessing game to involve the girl in the conversation.
Along with this small guessing game?
Seeking the girl's participation in the guessing game.
If it's a magazine
Using metaphors related to magazines, hit parades, and finance to convey positive expectations about the girl's future success and happiness.
We are heading straight to gossip
-If it's a hit parade
-Girl, you know you're goin' to top it
-And if the world of finance
-Had a stock called romance
-You'll soon be a billionaire
Continuing the metaphor to express confidence in the girl's romantic success.
I've been wanting to say it for a while
Expressing difficulty in verbal communication and the intention to convey feelings through a song.
But each time I try
-The words come out wrong
-So, I guess the best way to tell you
-Is calling you now
Choosing to call and play a song as a means of expressing emotions.
To play you this song
-Cause if my life is a tune
Comparing the girl to the chorus in the speaker's life, emphasizing her significance.
Then the chorus is you
-And you got the right notes to make my heart go boom
Describing the positive impact the girl has on the speaker's emotions.
And the lyrics
Referring to the lyrics of the song and the joyful atmosphere conveyed in them.
Are always saying
-Oh, what a day
-Can you hear the sound of knocking?
Creating a visual image of the speaker standing at the girl's door with a playful reference to riddles.
I'm standing at your door now
-With some extra riddle-dropping
-I guess if you are a book
Comparing the girl to a book and movie, indicating admiration for her qualities and interests.
Jane Austen is where I'd look
-And if you were a movie
-To Dirty Dancing I'd be grooving
-I've been wanting to say it for a while
Reiterating the difficulty in verbal expression and emphasizing the importance of the song as a medium.
But each time I try
-The words come out wrong
-So, I guess the best way to tell you
-Is come to your door
-To play you this song
-Cause if my life is a tune
Reinforcing the idea that the girl is the central, uplifting theme in the speaker's life.
Then the chorus is you
-And you got the right notes to make my heart go boom
-And the lyrics
Explicitly stating "I love you" multiple times, expressing deep affection and emotional connection.
Are always saying
-I love you
-I love you
-I love you
-I love you
Repeating the declaration of love, solidifying the emotional theme of the song.
