Above and Beyond
Dwight Yoakam's Heartfelt Promise: Love Beyond Measure
Lyrics
A well I'll give you love
A promise to provide love
That's above and beyond the call of love
Expressing a commitment beyond ordinary love
And I'll never ever make you cry
Pledge to avoid causing tears or sadness
A yes I'll give you love
Reiteration of offering exceptional love
That's above and beyond the call of love
Emphasizing love that goes beyond normal expectations
And love's something that money can't buy
Highlighting the value of love over material wealth
Well a poor boy's chances for a pretty girl's glances
Describing the challenges faced by someone with limited means
Are sometimes very few
Acknowledging the difficulty for a poor person to attract a beautiful partner
Though I've got no money, if you'll be my honey
Offering love despite financial constraints
Here's what I'll offer you
Presenting a proposal to the potential partner
A well I'll give you love
Reiterating the commitment to provide extraordinary love
That's above and beyond the call of love
Emphasizing the exceptional nature of the love promised
And I'll never ever make you cry
Reaffirming the commitment to prevent emotional pain
A yes I'll give you love
Restating the intention to give extraordinary love
That's above and beyond the call of love
Highlighting love that surpasses conventional expectations
And love's something that money can't buy
Stressing the incomparable value of love over money
We met by chance and I knew at a glance
Recalling a fateful meeting and recognizing destiny
That I'd found my destiny
Expressing a desire to marry the discovered soulmate
Now I want to carry you off and marry you
Declaring a wish to commit to a lifelong relationship
If you will agree
Proposing marriage if the partner agrees
And I'll give you love
Reiterating the promise of extraordinary love
That's above and beyond the call of love
Emphasizing love that exceeds the norm
And I'll never ever make you cry
Reaffirming the commitment to prevent emotional distress
Yes I'll give you love
Restating the intention to provide exceptional love
That's above and beyond the call of love
Emphasizing love that goes beyond ordinary expectations
And love's something that money can't buy
Reiterating the value of love compared to material wealth
