Unhook The Stars

Cyndi Lauper

Just when everything's in order and good, things fall apart
Just when life should be resolving I'm back at the beginning,
And it comes back to the heart ...
I'm not really sad...I'm not running, I'm looking...
Did I tell you I've saved all your letters and cards...
There's just nothing left for me to do here but unhook the stars...

Do you remember when I told you all that I could and it seemed like too much...
Well I was living your life hoping you'd never fall...
If I held on tight enough...
And letting go now is like a passport to anywhere...
With time on my hands I can make a new start...
I just didn't want to stay here and unhook the stars
I just didn't want to stay here and unhook the stars

Don't worry for me it's just I'm inspired
Waiting in the wings made me drunk with possibility
It rivals my memories...

    this song is brilliant & people should really comment something about it, or at least listen to it!

    "waiting in the wings made me drunk with possibilities, it rivals my memories."

    i'd quote more but i'd be quoting the entire song.

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/
