Never Love Another
Eternal Vows: A Melodic Tale of Unwavering Love
Lyrics
When I saw you at the party, drinking coke & wine
Observing the person at a party, consuming a mix of coke and wine.
When I finally got the courage to ask you for the time
Gaining the courage to ask for the time from the person.
In between all of the glances & when I start to stutter
Experiencing moments of glances and stuttering while interacting.
Well I knew when I first saw you I'd never love another
Realizing from the first sight that there won't be love for anyone else.
Well I knew when I first saw you I'd never love another
Reiterating the strong impression that the person is unique and irreplaceable.
When you stepped into my car & we sang Petty til the light
Sharing a moment in the car, singing Tom Petty songs until daylight.
When I held you in the morning, & kissed you in the night
Expressing affection in the morning and night through embraces and kisses.
All the days turned into weeks & months turned into summers
Time passing, turning days into weeks and months into summers.
& I whispered in the darkness I'll never love another
Affirming commitment in the darkness, pledging to never love another.
& I whispered in the darkness I'll never love another
Repeating the vow of exclusive love in the darkness.
When the autumn air blows colder & winter brings the snow
Describing the changing seasons and emotional moments with the person.
When you're crying in the doorway & I'm begging please don't go
Addressing a difficult situation with tears and a plea not to leave.
You said I never meant to hurt you, or ever make you suffer
Receiving reassurance that there was no intention to cause pain.
But I know that if I leave now I'll never love another
Recognizing that leaving now would mean never loving another.
But I know that if I leave now I'll never love another
Affirming the realization that departure would close the door to other loves.
When we're standing at the alter reading out our vows
Imagining a future together, standing at the altar, and reading vows.
When we said we weren't believers but we did it anyhow
Admitting to participating in a commitment despite not being believers.
All the ones that came before us, we said that we were tougher
Acknowledging challenges faced by those who came before, promising to be strong.
& we promised to be true, to never love another
Reaffirming the promise to be true and exclusive, vowing to never love another.
& we promised to be true, to never love another
Repeating the commitment to exclusivity in love.
When the bills are never-ending with jobs & a home
Facing the challenges of life, including bills, work, and maintaining a home.
When I felt her small foot kicking I knew we'd never be alone
Realizing the impending arrival of a child, ensuring they are not alone.
& if two can become one then a father & a mother
Contemplating the unity of two becoming one as parents.
I remember we both told her I'll never love another
Recalling a shared promise to their child that they will never love another.
I remember we both told her I'll never love another
Repeating the commitment made to their child.
When my mind & friends are leaving, & my hair has all turned grey
Facing the challenges of aging, losing friends, and witnessing grey hair.
When a machine keeps my heart beating there's one last thing I'll say
Reflecting on the artificial support of a machine keeping the heart beating.
I was never sure of much but I was certain like no other
Expressing certainty that, among uncertainties, the love for the person remains.
That I knew when I first saw you I'd never love another
Reiterating the initial certainty of never loving another when first seeing the person.
That I knew when I first saw you I'd never love another
Affirming the repeated realization of exclusive love from the first encounter.
That I knew when I first saw you I'd never love another
Stressing the enduring certainty of exclusive love since the initial meeting.
