I've Been Loved
Embraced by Love: Shirley Bassey's Journey to True Affection
Lyrics
Each love was just a flirtation
Each love in the past was merely a flirtation.
As I look back at the past
Reflecting on previous experiences and relationships.
And nothing quite like this new sensation
Expressing a new and unique feeling or emotion.
I've been loved, I've been loved at last
Finally experiencing genuine love, feeling loved at last.
We kissed and I started wondering:
Contemplating the duration of the current relationship.
"Would this one end just as fast?"
Questioning if the current love will be fleeting like past ones.
Then all at once, my heart started thundering
Suddenly feeling intense emotions and excitement.
I'd been loved, I'd been loved at last
Realizing that love has genuinely arrived and is enduring.
Now the world is a world filled with laughter
Describing a joyful world filled with laughter.
And I'm much like a child on a swing
Feeling carefree and happy, like a child playing on a swing.
Lover, you're holding me, warmly enfolding me
Being embraced and held warmly by the lover.
I can laugh, I can dance, I can sing
Expressing the freedom to laugh, dance, and sing due to love.
A million stars form a curtain
Using stars as a metaphor for a beautiful, romantic setting.
And we're alone in the cast
Feeling a sense of intimacy, alone in the world with the lover.
Forevermore, I am more than certain
Expressing certainty that this love will last forever.
I've been loved, but really loved at last
Reiterating the profound experience of being truly loved.
Now the world is a world filled with laughter
Repeating the description of a joy-filled world.
And I'm much like a child on a swing
Reemphasizing the carefree and happy state of being.
Lover, you're holding me, warmly enfolding me
Reaffirming the warmth and security provided by the lover.
I can laugh, I can dance, I can sing
Reiterating the freedom to express joy through laughter, dance, and song.
A million stars form a curtain
Continuing the metaphor of stars, symbolizing a romantic ambiance.
And we're alone in the cast
Emphasizing the sense of exclusivity and intimacy with the lover.
Forevermore, I am more than certain
Confidently asserting the enduring nature of the love.
I've been loved, but really loved at last
Reiterating the profound experience of being truly loved.
I've been loved really loved
Highlighting the depth and authenticity of the love received.
At last i've been loved
Expressing the culmination of finally being loved.
