I think this song is just about someone slowly going out of your life and you don't want them to. I hate to say this but it is kind of like a desperation plea like the person above said. They are begging the other person to love them only and always let it be them.
My husband( the love of my life) sang this to me. Just 5 yrs. later he would die from leukemia..It still brings bittersweet memories and tears. Thanks for letting it be me. ❤
It’s a first confession of serious intent.
If this is put into its proper place & time, this is a young man saying he wants this to last forever…meaning, become permanent.
One of the sweetest songs of its kind, performed by voices that fit it perfectly.
