So Good to Be in Love
Eternal Bliss: Patty Loveless' Soothing Ode to Endless Love
Lyrics
Well it's been a long time
Reflecting on a significant period of time
Since I thought about a man
Not contemplating a man for a while
I never think about maybe
Avoiding thoughts about assisting a man
Givin' him a hand
Not inclined to offer help
I don't have to think twice
Confident and certain, especially in relation to a specific person
When it comes to you
Expressing ease and comfort with "you"
I only have to ask
Minimal hesitation in expressing commitment
Once for me to say I do
Readiness to say "I do" after a single request
Baby baby you're my world
Endearing term for the significant other
Present to live here for this here girl
Acknowledging the partner's importance in her life
You hung the moon and the stars above
Metaphorical expression of the partner's significance
Baby baby
Repetition of affectionate address
So good to be in love
Expressing joy and satisfaction in being in love
Well you make it so easy
Highlighting the partner's role in making love effortless
You take a second chance
Taking a risk in matters of the heart
Open up my heart
Being open to romantic possibilities
And gamble on romance
Willing to take chances on love
I want to be there
Desire to be with the partner consistently
Every night and every day
Expressing a wish to be together day and night
When I think about you
Thoughts of the partner evoke strong emotions
I get carried away
Getting emotionally carried away when thinking about the partner
Baby baby you're my world
Reiteration of the partner's centrality in her life
Present to live for this here girl
Being present and alive for the partner
You hung the moon and the stars above
Continuation of metaphorical expressions of love
Baby baby
Repetition of affectionate address
So good to be in love
Emphasizing the joy and contentment of being in love
Oh baby baby you're my world
Reiteration of the partner's central role
Present to live for this here girl
Commitment to living for the partner
You hung the moon and the stars above
Continued metaphorical expressions of love
Baby baby
Repetition of affectionate address
So good to be in love
Final emphasis on the joy and satisfaction of being in love
So good to be in love
Concluding the sentiment of being in love
