Not Fade Away
Eternal Love's Beat: Stephen Stills' 'Not Fade Away' Story
Lyrics
I'm gonna tell you how it's gonna be
I will explain how things will be
Come home and bring your love to me
Come home and share your love with me
My love for you has got to be real
My love for you must be genuine
All of these years and how I feel
Reflecting on all the years and expressing my emotions
I've been lovin' you night and day
I have been loving you consistently day and night
My love is real not fade away
Emphasizing that my love is enduring and won't diminish
Can't you see that there's a good reason
Pointing out there is a valid reason for us to be together
For bein' together just to be pleasin'
Suggesting that being together brings pleasure and fulfillment
Stompin', shoutin' and carryin' on
Describing energetic and lively behavior
Just you and me baby we could have more fun
Expressing the potential for more fun together
All we need is a sunny day
Highlighting the simplicity of needing a sunny day for happiness
Love a love not fade away
Expressing love that doesn't fade away
Love a love not fade away
Reiterating the enduring nature of love
My love is real not fade away
Reaffirming that the love is real and won't fade
Love a love not fade away
Restating the idea of persistent love
My love is real not fade away
Reiterating that the love is genuine and enduring
Nobody else could be your man
Asserting exclusivity, stating that nobody else can be your man
I'm still walkin' so I know I can
Expressing determination to keep walking and persisting
My love is bigger than a Cadillac
Comparing the magnitude of love to a Cadillac
Tried to chauffeur but you drove me back
Describing an attempt to lead but being guided back by the other
Got to be with you when night turns to day
Expressing the desire to be with the person from night to day
My love is real not fade away
Reaffirming that the love is real and enduring
My love is real not fade away
Continuing to emphasize the reality and persistence of love
My love is real not fade away
Reiterating that the love is genuine and won't fade
My love is real not fade away
Affirming once again the enduring nature of love
(Love a love not fade away)
Recapping the theme of enduring love
