Weight in Gold
Eternal Love's Golden Promise
Lyrics
Take my hand and we can walk to the beach
Invitation to accompany to the beach
Where we can throw some rocks at the waves
Suggests engaging in a playful activity
As they come crashing to the shores
Observing the forceful impact of waves
Lie with me on the cold wet sand and
Proposing closeness despite discomfort (cold, wet sand)
We can talk about the love we're in and
Discussing the depth of their relationship
As we do I'll turn to you and say
Expressing commitment and assurance
Ah, babe this love ain't ever gonna end
Reiteration of enduring love
Ah, babe this love ain't ever ending
Reaffirming lasting affection
You'll wonder how could I be so damn sure
Addressing potential doubt
Cause you heard that line a hundred times before
Recognizing skepticism from past experiences
Ah, but not from me though
Claiming uniqueness in expressing commitment
Cause I mean it when I say that I ain't leaving
Emphasizing steadfastness in the relationship
Ah, your love's worth more than it's weight in gold
Valuing the immeasurable worth of love
I'll call you when it's raining
Promise to connect during difficult times
When we're the only two not sleeping
Highlighting shared wakefulness amid adversity
In the town, that's when I'll call ya
Plans to communicate during specific circumstances
We can talk about whatever
Openness to discuss anything
We can talk until whenever
Willingness to talk endlessly
But right before you put that phone down
Ensuring a lasting affirmation before ending a call
I say babe this love ain't ever gonna end
Reiteration of eternal love
Ah, babe this love ain't ever ending
Reaffirming everlasting affection
You'll wonder how could I be so damn sure
Recognition of potential skepticism
Cause you heard that line a thousand times before
Acknowledging familiarity with such assurances
Ah, but not from me though
Claiming sincerity in commitment
Cause I mean it when I say that I ain't leaving
Stressing the immeasurable value of the partner's love
Ah, your love's worth more than it's weight in gold
Reiteration of love's immense worth
Ah, it's so much more babe
Reaffirmation of love's substantial value
Ah, it's so much more babe
Reiteration of love's substantial value
Ah, it's so much more babe
-Later on down the line
Projection into the future, envisioning aging together
When we're lying down in bed
Imagery of intimacy while acknowledging aging
Counting out the gray hairs that are growing on my head
Acknowledging aging through counting gray hairs
I'm gonna pick you up like I used to
Intent to revive past actions of care and affection
I'll look you in the eyes
Expressing intention to reaffirm commitment
And I'll say, babe
Continued reassurance of eternal love
This love ain't ever gonna end
Reiteration of everlasting affection
Ah, babe this love ain't ever ending
Reaffirmation of enduring love
And you'll smile, and you'll say
Partner's acknowledgment of confidence in eternal love
Darling I know
Recognition of earlier certainty in commitment
Cause coming from you I knew it was true all those years ago
Validation of long-standing belief in enduring love
And I wouldn't trade this love for anything that this world holds
Emphasis on the priceless nature of their love
Cause it's worth more than it's weight in gold
Reiteration of the immeasurable value of love
Your love's worth more than it's weight in gold
Affirmation of love's priceless value
