Lyrics
There is a road
Reference to a physical pathway or route
It's not to far from here
The road is nearby
That's where I first met love
Where the singer initially encountered love
It's been following me for years
Love has been a constant presence in the singer's life
And she was smiling
Describing love as happy and content
And she was laughing
Continuing to portray love in a joyful state
There is a place
Referring to a specific location
It's not to far from here
The place is not far away
That's where we lost our faith
Where the singer and someone lost their belief or trust
That's where we lost our innocence
Where the loss of innocence occurred for the singer and another
And she was smiling
Describing the demeanor of someone in the past
And she was laughing
Continuing to describe the past demeanor of someone
And we thought we knew it all
The belief of having complete knowledge
And we were flying so high that we could not fall
Feeling invincible and untouchable
But I'll never forget the news that day
The memory of a significant event that impacted the singer
The look on her face
The unforgettable expression on someone's face
Was something that I won't soon forget
A memorable emotional experience
The feeling in my soul scared me half to death
Intense fear or apprehension
And she was crying
Depicting someone in a state of sadness
And she was crying
Continuation of the description of someone's sorrowful state
And we thought we knew it all
The belief of having complete knowledge (repeated)
And we were flying so high that we could not fall
Feeling invincible and untouchable (repeated)
But I'll never forget the news that day
The memory of a significant event that impacted the singer (repeated)
And baby is beautiful
Expressing the beauty of a baby born out of profound love
Made from the deepest love
Emphasizing the origins of the baby from deep affection
Baby is beautiful
Reiteration of the beauty of the baby
It's time to take her home
Suggesting it's time to bring the baby to their residence
There is a place down on old city road
Description of a specific location on 'old city road'
That is where we live
Identifying the place where the singer resides
That's the place we call home
Emphasizing the emotional connection to their dwelling
And we are smiling
Portraying a happy and joyful atmosphere in the present
And we are laughing
Continuing to depict a joyful atmosphere in the present
