Take me back in the day when loving was pure
Love ain't going away, love is always secure
Life's not always perfect, but love's always forever
Let's let true love connect; let's try lasting forever

I'm so ready to love; I'm so ready to promise my all
I'm so ready to give till the day that my life is no more
I'll be everything that this woman could possibly be
'Cause I'm ready to be like the olden days when commitment was golden

Be the man of my dreams and get down on one knee, love
Say you'll be all I need, and then ask me to marry you, my love
Let's take two golden bands, and let's walk down the isle, love
I'll say I do, and you'll say I do; make a golden commitment, oh

I'm so ready to love; I'm so ready to promise my all, love
And I'm so ready to give till the day that my life is no more
I'll be everything that this woman could possibly be, yes, I will
'Cause I'm ready to be like the olden days when commitment was golden

Let's last forever (let's last forever)
No typical American shady love
Let's stay together (let's stay together)
Pray God smile upon ours

I'm so ready to love; I'm so ready to promise my all, yes, I am
I'm so ready to give till the day that my life is no more
I'll be everything that this woman could possibly be, yes, I will
'Cause I'm ready to be like the olden days when commitment was golden

I'm so ready to love; I'm so ready to promise my whole all, yeah, yeah
And I'm so ready to give till the day that my life is no more
And I'll be everything that this woman could possibly be
'Cause I'm ready to be like the olden days when commitment was golden

Golden, golden
Oh, oh, my
Golden, golden love
'Cause commitment is golden
Mmm, mmm

    To me, this song is very simple, and very lovely. I think she's saying that nowadays, when it seems relationships are crashing and burning around her, she is ready to fall in love and STAY in love. In a way, this song is reminiscent of a little girl's dreams. She's asking for the "man of her dreams" and imagining the way he will propose to her. I think it's sweet, because the idea of finding a storybook love is very enticing....

    just truth...committment should be golden( forever) cause most woman are ready...but in these times of one night stands, and videos tramps who ask no questions....many men haven't really stepped up to the plate.

    My Interpretation

    I absolutely love this song....it will mos def be one of my wedding songs. I think that Chrisette is asking for something for simple that every woman wants to experience and that is real/true love. In our society, we see so many people getting married and those marriages ending up in divorce. There was once upon a time when people used to be married and stay married forever. There was once upon a time that people fought for one another in relationships, instead of giving up at the first sign of problems/trouble.

    Love and marriage is supposed to be stable and secure for a woman. Our vows are supposed to be forever, but our society has made marriage an easy in and out. I want what Chrisette is looking for too. I think that this song is brilliant!!!

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
