Long time did I run down like that
I would have three years ago today, but...
Not now, it's not like that

It's all right to feel good
It's all right for nothing to be wrong
The deepest dream that we have could be tomorrow's song

Long time did I run down like that
I would have three years ago today
But, not now, it's not like that

It's all right to feel good
It's all right for nothing to be wrong
The deepest dream that we have could be tomorrow's song

Just what did he say, uhh, stop
It'll just go 1, and 2, and 3
Run up the hill, do as you do, I'm going to chill
You know, you really ought to do the same
Uh, uh, they want to bug you
But we won't let them today
'Cause it's a sure shot to the bomb
Dropping every single day
You know, you swing it, and you fling it
And you make some shit up, but
It's just 1, 2, 3, oh

And you don't stop, proceed
What you need, guaranteed
The deepest dream we have could be

    This is one of my favorite songs off my favorite album, Grassroots. It's about not being afraid to go for your goals, no matter what other people say. It's about letting everything go and just relaxing once in awhile. Such a beautiful song.

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.

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/

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

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.
