Diamond Ring
Eternal Love Journey: Diamond Ring's Melody of Forever
Lyrics
Hold me tight let's dance through night
Expressing a desire to be held tightly and dance through the night.
'Til the light of early morning comes
Committing to staying together until the early morning light.
All the while I can't help but smile
Feeling joy and happiness, unable to contain a smile.
Giving all of you my love
Devoting one's love completely to the other person.
I was driving west away from my home
Narrating a journey away from home, possibly both physically and emotionally.
Thinking 'bout the coming days ahead
Reflecting on the future days ahead during the journey.
The pocket seam I hid your ring
Concealing a ring in the pocket, symbolizing commitment.
With a diamond for your hand
Describing a diamond ring intended for the partner.
Say you'll love me like you will when we're both seventy
Pledging a long-lasting love, even into old age.
Getting older babe I don't believe in anything yet
-Say you'll love me like you will when we're both seventy
-Say you'll love me like you will
-Like you will
Repetition for emphasis on the commitment to love.
Ocean bound away from the mountains
Describing a journey towards the ocean, symbolizing change.
We rise and fall against the waves
Highlighting the ups and downs faced together against life's challenges.
The air was cold and stories were told
Recalling cold moments and shared stories by a fire on the sand.
By the fire on sand we laid
Expressing a sense of togetherness and intimacy.
And I held your hand and reached for that band
Describing a moment of proposing with a diamond ring and seeking eternal commitment.
In my jeans that silver diamond ring
-And said your name my heart did race
-Would you forever be with me
-Say you'll love me like you will when we're both seventy
Reiteration of the commitment to love each other into old age.
Getting older babe I don't believe in anything yet
-Say you'll love me like you will when we're both seventy
-Say you'll love me like you will
-Like you will
Repetition for emphasis on the commitment to love.
I'll sing this song and hold you alone
Expressing a commitment to singing a love song and staying together through the night.
'Til the light of early morning comes
-And all the while no distance or mile
-Can keep you from my love
-Say you'll love me like you will when we're both seventy
Reaffirming the commitment to love each other into old age.
Getting older babe I don't believe in anything yet
-Say you'll love me like you will when we're both seventy
-Say you'll love me like you will
-Like you will
Repetition for emphasis on the commitment to love.
Say you'll love me like you will when we're both seventy
Final repetition and emphasis on the enduring nature of their love.
Getting older babe I don't believe in anything yet
-Say you'll love me like you will when we're both seventy
-Say you'll love me like you will
