"Nothing in the world prepared me for you, your heart, your heart Nothing in the world that I love more your heart, your heart Your golden heart"

this songs beautiful!

the idea of someone you love having a "golden heart" to you is great. i'm trying to figure out more of the meaning to this though! any ideas?

I think it is a pure & simple love song from a male perspective. From his 1st sighting of her beauty to her finding her amulet. I love the lines "Then we swirled around each other and the thread was spun To some arcadian band I would stop it from swinging like a pendulum Just to hold time in my hand" To me the imagery is song, dance and love. Holding her heart in his hand would stop time. I just love this song!!
