I have always felt a close connection to these lyrics. I started reading Mills and Boon from an early age and loved the whole romantic love featured in them.
As I got older I realised life doesn't always turn out that way, which is emphasised in the chorus, 'I'm sorry when I kissed you, you only heard me whisper, you never got to hear those violins'.
Luckily for me, I did find my special person just before my 18th birthday, 45 years ago. He is not only quietly romantic in his own way, he also knows how important the more 'showy' side is to me too.
Even to carrying me over the threshold of our marital home. (I'll be honest it was more of an assisted lift, lol, but he wanted me to have that moment).
Sadly the female character in this song forgot to take ordinary life in to account. It can't all be high romance all the time.
