Lyrics
Hey, little darlin'
Addressing affectionately and tenderly.
Fast asleep
Referring to the loved one being in a state of deep sleep.
I've got a secret that I can't keep
Expressing a secret that cannot be kept, possibly about deep feelings or commitment.
I'm gonna love you forever
Commitment to love the person forever.
And bigger than the ocean is deep
Comparing the depth of love to the vastness of the ocean.
Hey, little darlin'
Reiteration of affectionate address.
Come with me
Invitation to explore the world together.
There's a whole world for your eyes to see
Highlighting the vast opportunities and experiences for the loved one.
Raindrops and roses
Mentioning pleasant things that will bring joy and excitement.
Will sweep you off your feet
Using romantic imagery to convey the intensity of affection.
Hey, little darlin'
Repetition of affectionate address.
Have you heard?
Asking if the loved one has heard a profound truth about the nature of time.
Time is a strange and fleeting bird
Describing time as elusive and unpredictable.
We won't waste a moment
Emphasizing the value of not wasting precious moments.
Won't waste a single word
Commitment to communication and not leaving words unspoken.
So dream the night away
Encouraging the loved one to dream and enjoy the night.
And in the morning, in the morning
Anticipating a new day together in the morning.
We'll spend another day
Commitment to spending time together.
Thank the stars for our good fortune
Expressing gratitude for the good fortune in their lives.
And oh my life has changed
Acknowledging significant life changes.
But I wouldn't trade it for a world
Affirming that the changes are worthwhile with the loved one present.
Without you in it, baby
Reiteration of the importance of the loved one's presence.
Hey, little darlin'
Repetition of affectionate address.
On my own
Acknowledging the individuality and independence of the loved one.
Ours is a love I'd have never known
Expressing a unique and profound love that was unexpected.
You'll be my number one
Commitment to the loved one being the top priority even as they grow.
Even when you're grown
Acknowledging the inevitable growth of the loved one.
So dream the night away
Encouraging the continuation of dreaming and cherishing moments.
And in the morning, in the morning
Anticipating another day together in the morning.
We'll spend another day
Commitment to spending time together.
Thank the stars for our good fortune
Expressing gratitude for their fortunate life.
And oh my life has changed
Acknowledging significant life changes.
But I wouldn't trade it for a world
Affirming that these changes are accepted because of the loved one's presence.
Without you in it, baby
Reiteration of the importance of the loved one's presence.
Hey, little darlin'
Repetition of affectionate address.
Don't you know?
Pose a rhetorical question to emphasize a perpetual commitment.
Always, forever
Declaring everlasting love.
I'll love you so
Reiteration of the enduring and boundless nature of the love.
