Though astronomers say
It's an awful long way
From here to the moon
I would go there on my honeymoon
If you were my girl...
Far away from the crowd
We could live on a cloud
A castle in air
It would be a storybook affair
If you were my girl...
If you'd like some ice cream
From the milky way
I would shinny up the moonbeam
An' bring you a rainbow parfait
I'm sailin' along
On the wings of a song
With you by my side
Life would be a rolly coaster ride
If you were my girl...

I would go there on my honeymoon,
If you were my girl . . .

It would be a storybook affair
If you were my girl...
If you'd like some ice cream
From the milky way
I would shinny up the moonbeam
An' bring you a rainbow parfait...
Just a sailin' along
On the wings of a song
With you by my side
Life would be a roller coaster ride
If you were my girl...
If you were my girl...
If you were my girl...

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.
