For Your Precious Love
Eternal Love Unveiled: David Allan Coe's Melodic Ode to Endless Devotion
Lyrics
You know when I first started doing this album I thought
The singer reflects on the initial intention behind creating this album.
All these songs about just gettin' the divorce
Expecting songs about divorce, implying a personal experience.
And there was one thing I wanted to tell you darlin' darlin'
Expresses a desire to convey the significance of the relationship before it ends.
Before the music stops for me and you and that's what you meant to me
Before the music concludes, the singer wants to communicate the depth of feelings toward their partner.
And even thought the divorce is final now
Though the divorce is finalized, there's a final message through a love song.
I wanted to sing you this one last love song
Intention to sing a last love song despite the divorce being finalized.
Your precious love means more to me than any love could ever be
The value placed on the partner's love surpasses any other.
For when I wanted you I was so lonely and so blue
Expresses loneliness and longing when the partner was wanted.
For that's what love will do
Reflects on the impact of love, acknowledging its power.
And darlin' (I'm so surprised) oh when I first realized
Initial surprise upon realizing the partner's sincerity.
That you weren't fooling me
A recognition that the partner was not deceiving the singer.
And darlin' they say that our love won't grow
External opinions suggest the love won't thrive, but the singer disagrees.
But I just want to tell them that they don't know
Defiance against negative predictions about the relationship's growth.
For as long as you're in love with me our love will grow wider depper than any sea
Belief in the depth and expansiveness of love shared, surpassing any limits.
And of all the things all the things that I want in this whole wide world
Expresses a longing for the partner's commitment.
Is just for you to say that you'll be my girl
Desire for the partner to affirm a romantic commitment.
Oooh (wanting you) I'm wanting you (I'm so blue) oh that's what live will do
Reiteration of longing and the impact of love on emotions.
I gave it a hundred and ten percent of my soul
Complete dedication and effort given to the relationship.
And I tried everything I could to hold it together
Attempts made to salvage the relationship despite challenges.
But now that it's over I just wanted you to know
Even after separation, the partner should know certain truths.
That anytime you have sunshine you're gonna have bad weather
An analogy: good times and bad times are part of life.
Some people they can handle that and some people can't
Recognition of individual differences in handling challenges.
Just for the record another chapter in my life
Viewing the relationship as a chapter in life.
And you were that chapter just divorced
The partner played a significant role in this life chapter, which has concluded with divorce.
Maybe they should write that on my tombstone darlin'
Humorous suggestion of an epitaph mentioning the divorce for the partner's satisfaction.
Would that make you happy then
Rhetorical question directed at the partner about satisfaction with the situation.
Your precious love means more...
Reiteration of the immense value of the partner's love.
