Time and Place
Love's Quest: A Yearning for the Perfect Moment
Lyrics
Well I want you to hold me and squeeze me tight
Expressing a desire for physical closeness and affection.
You always scold me and say the times not right
Describing a pattern of being reprimanded for the timing of actions or expressions of affection.
Girl you keep me dreaming of your face
Highlighting the impact of the person on the speaker's dreams and thoughts.
If you change your mind baby just name the time and place
Offering flexibility and openness to the other person's decision regarding when and where to meet.
You asked me maybe if we could take a drive
Recalling a moment when the suggestion of a drive was made.
We parked 'neath the moonlight in the countryside
Describing a romantic setting under the moonlight in the countryside.
When I held you close my heart began to race
Expressing the emotional intensity experienced while holding the person close.
Then you said hey baby, it's not the time or place. No no
Revealing a rejection or reluctance from the other person due to timing or location constraints.
Would you mind tellin' me the right time baby that's when I'll be there
Requesting information on the right time to meet, showing a willingness to adjust.
You can take your pick in the city or sticks in the middle of ocean I don't care
Indicating a lack of preference for the meeting place, emphasizing a desire to be with the person anywhere.
If we let things go what a sad disgrace
Reflecting on the consequences of letting opportunities slip away.
Baby let me know what is the time and place
Asking for clarity on the appropriate time and place for a meaningful connection.
In this big ole world out there somewhere there's just gotta be
Expressing optimism about finding a special place in the vast world for a romantic encounter.
A little place one night when you hold me tight and we'll get together
Imagining a future night of intimacy and togetherness.
You and me
Affirming the connection between the speaker and the other person.
One of these days or one of these nights
Anticipating a future moment that feels just right for both parties.
We're gonna find ourselves somewhere when it seems just right
Expressing confidence in eventually finding an ideal place and time for their union.
But until that day I'll plead my case and if you change your mind baby
Persisting in pleading for consideration, despite the uncertainty of when and where.
Just name the time and place
Reiterating the readiness to be present whenever and wherever the other person decides.
And I'll be there
Emphasizing the commitment to be there if the other person specifies a time and place.
Just name the time and place
Repeating the willingness to meet at the other person's chosen time and place.
And I'll be there
Restating the speaker's dedication to be present when and where the other person desires.
Just name the time and place
Reaffirming the open-ended commitment to meeting at the other person's specified time and place.
