This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Fifteen people in a crowded room
Fifteen people in a silent room
where tension builds up and it fills the air
knowing there is someone missing here
Like a jewel bumping down the stairs
we've been moving on so let us pray
in celebration of a special mind
and for a friendship of a certain kind
For the many who've been here before
there's so many letting it go
It's golden
what we have
It's golden
can we realize that
can we realize that it shines and it's golden
It's shining
all the thoughts that we've had
It's sparkling
down the roads on our map
and when we realize that we shine 'till tomorrow
We've been going in and out of style
always guaranteed to raise a smile
If someone tells us we're no longer alive
think we could show them what is in our eyes
Here's to the many who've been here before
and there's so many letting it go
It's golden
what we have
It's golden
can we realize that
can we realize that it shines and it's golden
It's shining
all the thoughts that we've had
It's sparkling
down the roads on our map
and when we realize that we shine 'till tomorrow
Here's to the many who've been here before
and there's so many letting it go
It's golden
what we have
It's golden
can we realize that
can we realize that it shines and it's golden
It's shining
It's sparkling
down the roads on our map
and when we realize that we shine 'till tomorrow

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/
