Once and for All
Eternal Love's Symphony: Hank Jr.'s Ode to Devotion
Lyrics
Time is catchin' up with me cause I've been on the road
Feeling the effects of time catching up due to constant traveling.
And the keys to the city are all I've got to show
Having achieved recognition, but only possessing symbolic keys to the city as tangible success.
Though it's easy to take home the belle of the ball
Despite being able to attract attention, it's challenging to bring a significant other home.
I'm getting tired of it all
Expressing weariness and fatigue with the current lifestyle.
And I'm gonna love you once and for all
Committing to love someone deeply and sincerely.
'Cause you're the one that helped me find myself
Acknowledging the partner's role in self-discovery and personal growth.
And I'm gonna love you and nobody else
Declaring exclusive love for the partner.
You pick me up everytime I fall
Recognizing the support provided by the partner during difficult times.
And if you ever need me just gimme a call
Offering unconditional availability and support to the partner.
'Cause I'm gonna love you once and for all
Reiterating the deep and lasting nature of the commitment to love.
Now I look forward to rainy days
Finding joy in simple, intimate moments, even in less favorable conditions.
So I can learn more of your lovin' ways
Expressing eagerness to understand and experience more of the partner's love.
And when I'm home and you're the star on the stage
Celebrating the partner as the main focus and star in their life when at home.
And until the final curtain calls
Committing to love until the end, symbolized by the final curtain calls.
I'm gonna love you once and for all
Reaffirming the enduring commitment to love.
'Cause you're the one that stuck it out
Appreciating the partner for enduring challenges and difficulties in the relationship.
And you know that's what love's all about
Stating that enduring challenges is an essential aspect of true love.
I could have a woman everytime I call
Acknowledging the availability of other potential partners but choosing the current one.
But I'd rather see you walkin' down the hall
Expressing a preference for the current partner's presence over the company of others.
And I'm gonna love you once and for all
Reiterating the commitment to love deeply and sincerely.
And if you ever need me just give me a call
Offering continued support and availability to the partner.
'Cause I'm gonna love you once and for all
Reiterating the deep and lasting nature of the commitment to love.
And I'd rather see you walkin' down the hall
Expressing a preference for seeing the partner walking down the hall.
