Quickly in Love
Love's Swift Embrace: Miriam Makeba's 'Quickly in Love' Unveiled
Lyrics
Just a second or two
Expressing a very short duration, emphasizing brevity.
The first sight of you
The initial glimpse of the person being referred to.
That's the time it takes when love comes along
Indicating the swift arrival of love.
Just a sparkle then the current is on
Describing the quick progression of emotions once ignited.
You're quickly in love
Stating that the person is rapidly falling in love.
Just a flick and a flare
Enumerating various sensory experiences associated with attraction.
A click and a snap
Highlighting the suddenness and impact of attraction.
Just a trumpet and I wanted to dance
Referring to a musical cue that evokes a desire to dance.
And my heart said Gwyneth here is your chance
Describing a moment of opportunity recognized by the heart.
You're quickly in love
Reiterating the swift nature of falling in love.
Oh we'll walk down the future's long shore
Envisioning a shared future with the person.
Amidst all those known before
Acknowledging the presence of others who have experienced love.
Oh the sun's in our eyes as we come
Describing a moment in the journey where challenges are faced.
Still it's warm
Despite challenges, warmth and comfort are felt.
Warm, warm like a glove
Using simile to express the warmth of love.
Just a very short while
Emphasizing brevity in the context of a smile.
The edge of a smile
Referring to the fleeting nature of a smile's impact.
Just a century that goes at a dash
Comparing a century to a brief moment, highlighting speed.
Just eternity that's past in a flash
Contrasting the eternal with a fleeting experience.
You're quickly in love
Reiterating the rapid nature of falling in love.
Oh we'll walk down the future's long shore
Revisiting the idea of a shared future despite predecessors.
Amidst all those known before
Acknowledging the existence of those who came before.
There the sun's in our eyes as we come
Recalling challenges in the journey but maintaining warmth.
Still it's warm
Despite difficulties, love is felt and comforting.
Warm, warm like a glove
Using simile to express the warmth of love.
Just a very short while
Emphasizing brevity in the context of a while.
The edge of a smile
Highlighting the impact of a fleeting smile.
Just a century that goes at a dash
Comparing a century to a brief moment, reiterating speed.
Just eternity that's past in a flash
Contrasting the eternal with a moment that passes quickly.
You're quickly in love
Reiterating the rapid nature of falling in love.
You're quickly in love
Repeating the idea of quickly falling in love.
Quickly in love
