My friend
You've been with me
From the beginning
of everything
The beginning of you
The beginning of me
You've always saved me when I'm breakin'

If all we got is time
Then forever's not enough
And if this life is for the living
Then I’m never giving up
And as the road divides
That runs off with our lives
Promise Me
we'll never say goodbye

First sounds
Of us laughing
Keeps on going
Like an endless song
Your secret's mine
Trust me, I'll hide them
I'll always break through to the real you

If all we got is time
Then forever's not enough
And if this life is for the living
Then I’m never giving up
And as the road divides
That runs off with our lives
Promise Me
we'll never say goodbye

Generation them
Generation Us
What's the difference, now or then?
The world is still messed up

If all we got is time
Then forever's not enough
And if this life is for the living
Then I’m never giving up
And as the road divides
That runs off with our lives
Promise Me
we'll never say goodbye

    I really liked this song. I've always been a closet Crue and Neil fan.

    This song to me is just a kind of romantic song. Kinda sweet.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
