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”
Standing outside in the pouring rain
I can see my breath right in front of my face
I keep asking myself why, why
A love so deep, a love so strong
Can carry me when I can't go on
I keep asking myself why, why
But You, Your love's never changing
It always stays the same, even when I'm wrong
And I don't have to worry if You're gonna leave me
Everyday wake up, I can feel You near me
And I know that You can make it better
there's so many reasons why I keep believing
You don't have to show me, I don't have to see them
'Cause I know that You can make it better
You can make it better
Just like the ocean meets the shore
You keep me coming back for more
And every time You wash away my pain
Your love is riding on these waves
And now I'm drowning in Your grace
And I can tell that I will never be the same
Because You, Your love?s never changing
It always stays the same, yeah, even when I'm wrong
And I don't have to worry if You're gonna leave me
Everyday wake up, I can feel You near me
And I know that You can make it better
there's so many reasons why I keep believing
You don't have to show me, I don't have to see them
'Cause I know that You can make it better
You can make it better
Make it better
You can make it better
Make it better
'Cause You, Your love?s never changing
It always stays the same, yeah, even when I'm wrong
I don't have to worry if You're gonna leave me
Everyday wake up, I can feel You near me
And I know that You can make it better
there's so many reasons why I keep believing
You don't have to show me, I don't have to see them
'Cause I know that You can make it better
You can make it better
Make it better, You can make it better for me
You can make it better, make it better
You can make it better for me
I can see my breath right in front of my face
I keep asking myself why, why
A love so deep, a love so strong
Can carry me when I can't go on
I keep asking myself why, why
But You, Your love's never changing
It always stays the same, even when I'm wrong
And I don't have to worry if You're gonna leave me
Everyday wake up, I can feel You near me
And I know that You can make it better
there's so many reasons why I keep believing
You don't have to show me, I don't have to see them
'Cause I know that You can make it better
You can make it better
Just like the ocean meets the shore
You keep me coming back for more
And every time You wash away my pain
Your love is riding on these waves
And now I'm drowning in Your grace
And I can tell that I will never be the same
Because You, Your love?s never changing
It always stays the same, yeah, even when I'm wrong
And I don't have to worry if You're gonna leave me
Everyday wake up, I can feel You near me
And I know that You can make it better
there's so many reasons why I keep believing
You don't have to show me, I don't have to see them
'Cause I know that You can make it better
You can make it better
Make it better
You can make it better
Make it better
'Cause You, Your love?s never changing
It always stays the same, yeah, even when I'm wrong

'Cause I know that You can make it better
You can make it better
Make it better, You can make it better for me
You can make it better, make it better
You can make it better for me

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
