Charmed Life
Embracing Life's Charms: A Love Story in Melody
Lyrics
When I hold you in my arms
Expressing the feeling of holding someone in an affectionate embrace.
And look back on my charmed life, my charmed life,
Reflecting on a life filled with good fortune and luck.
I hope, I hope if nothing more
Expressing a hope that the person being held will also experience a charmed life.
That one day you'll call your life a charmed life.
Aspiring for the person to eventually consider their life as charmed.
Well I've never really worried that much
Not overly concerned about accumulating wealth.
About making lots of money and such
Downplaying the importance of making a lot of money.
And I always seem to land upon my feet.
Expressing resilience and the ability to land on one's feet despite challenges.
And though there's been some difficult times
Acknowledging difficult times but emphasizing the proximity of good times.
The good times were never far behind.
Highlighting the ability to turn situations in favor and achieve victory.
I've snatched all of my victories from the jaws of defeat.
Metaphorically describing overcoming challenges and setbacks.
When I hold you in my arms
Reiteration of the joy of holding someone in the arms.
And look back on my charmed life, my charmed life,
Reflecting on a life filled with charm and good fortune.
I hope, baby I hope if nothing more
Expressing a hope for the person being addressed to have a charmed life.
That one day you'll call your life a charmed life.
Reiterating the aspiration for the person to consider their life charmed.
Well the course of true love never ran smooth.
Acknowledging the challenges in the course of true love.
They broke my heart and I broke theirs too,
Referring to past heartbreaks and acknowledging mutual hurt in relationships.
And breaking up is so very hard to do.
Highlighting the difficulty of ending a romantic relationship.
But I knew I'd find the one,
Expressing confidence in finding true love despite past challenges.
And sure enough she came along,
Indicating the arrival of a significant other.
And not long after that along came you.
Connecting the arrival of the significant other with the birth of the person being addressed.
Well sometimes this life is like being afloat
Comparing life to being on a tumultuous sea in a small boat.
On a raging sea in a little row-boat,
Describing the challenges and uncertainties in life.
Just trying not to be washed overboard.
Struggling to avoid being overwhelmed by life's difficulties.
But if you take your chances and you ride your luck,
Encouraging taking risks and staying persistent to overcome challenges.
And you never, never, never, never, never give up
Emphasizing the importance of perseverance in the face of adversity.
Those waves will see you safely to a friendly shore.
Believing that persistence will lead to a positive outcome.
When I hold you in my arms
Reiterating the joy and fulfillment experienced when holding the person.
I know that this is a charmed life.
Expressing the certainty that the current moment is a charmed life.
A charmed life.
Affirming the charmed nature of the ongoing life.
