Sometimes, the most beautiful things
The most innocent things
And many of those dreams, pass us by
Keep passing me by

You feel good
I said it's funny that you understood
I knew you would
When you were good
You were very, very good

So I close my eyes softly
Till I become that part of the wind
That we all long for sometime, yeah
And to those that I love, like a ghost through a fog
Like a charmed hour and a haunted song
And the angel of my dreams
Angel of my dreams

You said, you feel good
I said it's funny that you understood
I knew you would
When you were good, baby
Ooh you were very good

I still look up
When you walk in the room
I've the same wide eyes
Now they tell the story
I try not to reach out (ooh)
When you turn 'round you say hello
And we both pretend
No great pretender

So I close my eyes softly
Till I become that part of the wind
That we all long for sometime, yeah
And to those that I love, like a ghost through a fog
Like a charmed hour and a haunted song
And the angel, angel of my dreams
Angel of my dreams

I still look up, yeah (ooh)
I try hard not to look up, yeah (ooh)
That girl was me, yeah-yeah-yeah yeah (ooh)
Track a ghost through the fog, yeah (ooh)
A charmed hour and a haunted song, yeah (ooh)
Go track a ghost through the fog baby, yeah (ooh)
Go track a ghost through the fog baby (ooh)
Ooh, you try hard
But you'll never catch me, yeah

Ooh, that girl was me

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/

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
