Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
A year ago today we stood
Above this same awakening world
I held you
You never wanted me to know
Another year ago today
Before this same awakening world
I held you
I never meant to let you go
There was a moment
There always is
When time stood still
And always was this
One endless moment
You turn in pain
And I always let you go
Over and over again
A year ago tonight we lay
Below this same remembering sky
I kissed you
You never wanted me to know
Another year ago tonight
Behind this same remembering sky
I kissed you
I never meant to let you go
Another moment
There always is
As time stands still
And always is this
One endless moment
You tell me all
And I hold you and I kiss you
And I never let you go
I never let you go
Above this same awakening world
I held you
You never wanted me to know
Another year ago today
Before this same awakening world
I held you
I never meant to let you go
There was a moment
There always is
When time stood still
And always was this
One endless moment
You turn in pain
And I always let you go
Over and over again
A year ago tonight we lay
Below this same remembering sky
I kissed you
You never wanted me to know
Another year ago tonight
Behind this same remembering sky
I kissed you
I never meant to let you go
Another moment
There always is
As time stands still
And always is this
One endless moment
You tell me all
And I hold you and I kiss you
And I never let you go
I never let you go

its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Light Up The Sky
Van Halen

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Holiday

@[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.
I love this song. What more can I say? The lyrics do seem to have meaning to it. It is very romantic. I suspect the song was written for one of The Cure's member's girlfriends/wifes. Or maybe not. I don't know much about their private lives. And I have no will to; for I'm sure it's meant to be that way.
