Love Is Just A Word
Eternal Promises and the Reality of Love: Ingram Hill's Melodic Reflection
Lyrics
Tell me we will stay in love forever
Expressing a desire for enduring love.
Those are only words
Highlighting the limitation of words in guaranteeing love.
Til we're old and gray together, baby
Imagining a lasting relationship until old age.
Those are only words
Emphasizing the potential emptiness of such promises.
You're so pretty, we're so young
Complimenting the partner's attractiveness and the youthfulness of the relationship.
Our wings still fly, our legs still run
Describing a vibrant and energetic phase of the relationship.
Yes all seems so green and new
Portraying the world as full of possibilities and optimism.
You might want me, I might want you
Acknowledging mutual interest but with uncertain commitment.
Tell me we will stay in love forever
Repeating the desire for enduring love.
But those are only words
Reiterating the potential hollowness of verbal assurances.
'Till we're old and gray together, baby
Envisioning a shared future into old age.
Those are only words
Emphasizing skepticism about the permanence of words.
'Till I know you and you know me
Stating that understanding each other is necessary for the concept of forever to make sense.
Forever is absurd
Challenging the idea of eternal commitment as unrealistic.
If we don't learn to show each other, baby
Highlighting the importance of demonstrating love through actions.
Love is just a word
Suggesting that love, without actions, is merely a word.
You wouldn't leave me if you could
Expressing a belief in the partner's loyalty despite potential challenges.
But things won't always be this good
Acknowledging that difficulties will arise in the relationship.
There will be times that test us, baby
Anticipating testing times in the relationship.
It won't come true unless you say it
Emphasizing the need for verbal commitment for dreams to come true.
Tell me we will stay in love forever
Repeating the desire for lasting love.
But those are only words
Reiterating the uncertainty and potential emptiness of verbal promises.
'Till we're old and gray together, baby
Reiterating the vision of growing old together.
Those are only words
Emphasizing the skepticism about the permanence of words.
'Till I know you and you know me
Stating the necessity of mutual understanding for the concept of forever.
Forever is absurd
Challenging the feasibility of eternal commitment without real understanding.
If we don't learn to show each other, baby
Highlighting the importance of demonstrating love through actions.
Love is just a word
Reiterating that love, without actions, is just a word.
Oh, is it gonna last
Pondering the longevity of the relationship.
Oh, when the brown leaves fall on our green grass
Reflecting on challenges represented by the changing seasons.
Tell me we will stay in love forever
Repeating the desire for enduring love.
But those are only words
Reiterating the doubt regarding the reliability of verbal assurances.
'Till we're old and gray together, baby
Reiterating the vision of growing old together.
Those are only words
Emphasizing skepticism about the permanence of words.
'Till I know you and you know me
Stating the necessity of mutual understanding for the concept of forever.
Forever is absurd
Challenging the feasibility of eternal commitment without real understanding.
If we don't learn to show each other, baby
Highlighting the importance of demonstrating love through actions.
Love is just a word
Concluding that love, without actions, is merely a word.
