That's how I live
In my room
A blink of the eye
Crystal of time
A song in darkness
The shimmer fades
The frailest comfort
No single truth

At the middlepoint
It all stands still
A piece of paper
No smallest light
Songs to remember
Your breath my hope
My body sings
Now I think of you

So beats my heart
It beats in me
Hour to hour

It beats for you
For you and me
For every second

That's how I live
One of many
I'm not alone

That's how I live
In this late hour
A weak portrait
A star of grey
A musicman
Spins this globe
A flight a fall
A brand new day

A white horse
A black bird
And in the end
Here comes the clown
Nothing and nobody
By night and fog
A winter light
This world of trust

So beats my heart
It beats in me
Hour to hour

It beats for you
For you and me
For every second

That's how I live
One of many
I'm not alone
You are not alone
We're not alone

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/

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
