Lyrics
You're not a dream
You are not just a figment of my imagination or an unreal fantasy.
You're not an angel
You are not a celestial being; you are a human.
You're a woman
Recognizing the reality that you are a woman, emphasizing your humanity.
I'm not a king
I am not elevated to a royal status; I am a regular person.
I'm a man
Establishing the speaker's identity as a man.
Take my hand
Inviting the woman to join hands, symbolizing unity or partnership.
We'll make a space
We will create a shared space in the future we envision.
In the lives that we planned
Referring to the plans and aspirations the couple has for their lives together.
And here we'll stay
Expressing the intention to remain in this shared space.
Until it's time for you to go
Committing to stay together until the time is right for the woman to leave.
Yes, we're diff'rent worlds apart
Acknowledging differences between the speaker and the woman.
We're not the same
Highlighting the uniqueness of each individual; they are not identical.
We laughed and played
Recalling joyful moments shared at the beginning of the relationship, resembling a game.
At the start like in a game
Despite differences, they laughed and played together.
You could have stayed

Outside my heart

But in you came

And here you'll stay

Until it's time for you to go

Don't ask why
Advising against questioning the reasons or methods of their love.
Don't ask how
Discouraging inquiries into the specifics of their enduring connection.
Don't ask forever
Rejecting the need for an eternal commitment, suggesting a focus on the present.
Love me now
Urging the woman to love the speaker in the current moment.
This love of mine
Describing the timeless and continuous nature of the speaker's love.
Had no beginning
Emphasizing that the love has no discernible starting point.
It has no end
Stating that this love has no foreseeable end.
I was an oak
Metaphorically expressing a transformation from a rigid state to a flexible one.
Now I'm a willow
Continuing the metaphor, highlighting the ability to adapt and bend.
Now I can bend

And tho' I'll never
Conveying the speaker's acceptance that they may not reunite in this lifetime.
In my life see you again
