If It Wasn't for Your Love
Unveiling the Tapestry of Love: Gordon Chambers' If It Wasn't for Your Love
Lyrics
Would I be standing here
Contemplation of the present situation or position in life
After all these years
Reflecting on the passage of time
Among the stars above?
Suggesting a celestial and elevated state
Maybe not if it wasn't for your love
Recognition that without the love received, this position might not have been attainable
Smiling faces are all around
Observation of happiness and positivity in the surroundings
Like when a king has just been crowned
Comparison to a triumphant moment, like the crowning of a king
And the battle has been won
Implying a victorious outcome
That I'd have lost if it wasn't for your love
Acknowledging that the victory might have been lost without the love
A fairytale unfolds
Reference to an unfolding perfect and ideal story
More true than stories I've been told
Emphasizing the authenticity of the experience
At last my chance to shine
Feeling of seizing an opportunity to shine
And all in perfect time
Highlighting the impeccable timing of events
I live the life I once dreamed of
Living a life that was once only imagined or dreamed of
Who'd have thought
Expressing surprise at the turn of events
If it wasn't for your love
Attributing the positive turn of events to the presence of love
Yes, it was
Affirmation of the previous line
Oh what a wonderful surprise
Describing an incredibly pleasant and unexpected occurrence
To see a light so bright it blinds
Metaphorically describing the brightness and intensity of the experience
It blinds my eyes
Impact of the overwhelming experience
But finally I see
Realization and understanding dawned through the experience
Just how it feels to live a dream
Experiencing the fulfillment of a long-held aspiration
But would I have touched the sky?
Questioning whether reaching such heights would have been possible without love
Ever flown so high
Metaphor for achieving great heights or success
No, not I, if it wasn't for your love
Asserting that without love, such heights wouldn't have been reached
No, no, if it wasn't for your love
Reiterating the idea that love was essential for this success
