Another lover with a tragic past
Pretty girl, I thought it was forever
We walked together on a darkened path
I closed my eyes, and I saw the picture

Do you remember, the desperate times that we had?
Do you remember, can you remember a promise long ago?

Can we give it a chance?
If it's love we can wait
Let's forget the past
For a moment of faith
I've had it up all the times
I've seen the look in your eyes
You can't hide, your careless lies

And as you drift into a fearless night
Dream away, your kiss is coming
Wake up to lost skies, this is where we belong
Open arms, and I think I'm falling

Do you remember, the desperate times that we had?
Do you remember, can you remember a promise long ago?
(I promise)

Can we give it a chance?
If it's love we can wait
Let's forget the past
For a moment of faith
I've had it up all the times
I've seen the look in your eyes
I've had it up all the times
I've seen the look in your eyes
You can't hide, your careless lies

Give it a chance (If so I can wait)
For a moment of faith (It's so hard to wait)
So give it a chance (If so I can wait)

Can we give it a chance?
If it's love we can wait
Let's forget the past
For a moment of faith
In the dreams we dance
You are sleeping away
Let's make it last
For a moment of faith
I've had it up all the times
I've seen the look in your eyes
I've had it up all the times
I've seen the look in your eyes
You can't hide, your careless lies
You can't hide, your careless lies

Your careless lies

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
