I've never had a feeling so right
Like I have with you
Can't explain the things you do
But boy when you tell me softly you love me too

It's like I know we were meant to be
So for eternity you will have a part of me
And all I need is for you to stay right here with me - yeah

Time goes by but we stand still (know it does, I know does)
Love you for eternity I will (I will)
I know that we were meant to be (we were meant to be, my love)
That's how I feel when you're with me

You are the reason that my heart beats
And no I never thought, I would ever fall so deep
But now I see that the love that we share
Is oh so sweet

What if I told you that I believe (believe)
That you are my soul, my destiny (my destiny, yeah)
What if I was to say
In every way
Deep in my heart is where you'll be (time)

Time goes by but we stand still (I'm still right here)
Love you for eternity I will (I'll never go)
I know that we were meant to be (we were meant to be)
That's how I feel when you're with me (how I feel, when you're with me)

Time goes by but we stand still (oh time, oh time)
Love you for eternity I will (eternity I will)
I know that we were meant to be (we were meant, baby love)
That's how I feel when you're with me

As you hold me close so tenderly
And watch you fall to sleep
I see in you the one who now completes (you the one)
The half of me I used to be (I used to be)

Yeah

Time goes by but we stand still
Love you for eternity I will (eternity I will)
I know that we were meant to be (were meant to be)
That's how I feel when you're with me (feel when you're with me baby)

Time goes by but we stand still (but we always stand still, babe)
Love you for eternity I will (stand still babe, and I know)
I know that we were meant to be (yes we were)
That's how I feel when you're with me

Time goes by but we stand still
Love you forever, yes I will
I know we're meant to be
That's how I feel baby

    So true, so true. Time goes by but we stand still. They just left out the part about while we're standin still, we age.

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”

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/
