Lyrics
Blame it on my youth or my rebel roots
Or the corner booths I called home
One foot out the door, always stoppin' short
Just before the fork in the road
Couldn't jump into the deep end
I was always overthinkin'
Every minute, every hour, every weekend
Oh, the dizzying intro to this song has me swaying to the walz like I’m intoxicated in love! This song is delicious!
I love all the time references, and I absolutely love that the double entendre on the phrase “second guessing”. Songwriting genius.
second guessing; anticipate or predict someone’s actions or thoughts by guess work
Lyrics
Since I met you, I
I ain't spent one second guessin'
I made up my mind
I never knew, I
Just had to find my direction
Gettin' lost in your eyes
Because I've turned days into nights
And spent all of my life askin' questions
Now I don't spend one second guessin'
Firm commitment is huge. It is powerful. It is comforting. It is victory!
Commitment doesn't happen all by itself. There is some choice involved. And yet, we can’t just decide to be committed, it is a process of building and cultivating it. And when we develop the commitment of our partnership, the ease that comes from being securely bonded is a great asset not only to our relationship, but also to our life in general. We enjoy more peace and harmony, since arguments become less frequent and less volatile as we feel less fear of losing the relationship. The higher trust level gives us peace of mind. More opportunities to experience adventure are available when the relationship becomes a well-stocked base camp. We are free to venture out into the world of career and other interests and feel secure that we have a safe place to which we can return. And although we make some sacrifices to attain a sturdy commitment, and we are no longer able to do everything that we may desire to do, we are free to be who we are and to be loved as is.
Lyrics
You turned on the lights
Opened up my eyes to a world that I'd never seen
I ain't lookin' back
Worried 'bout the past or the future when you're with me
Now I'm swimmin' in the deep end
Ain't no need for overthinkin'
Girl, you've givin' life a brand new kind of meanin'
“You’ve given life a brand new kind of meanin’”, can’t you just feel that? Love takes us to a whole new level in life.
(written to me)
The love between you and I is extremely rare and special. If there is any beauty to be found in the pain of cancer and loss, it is that testimony of such extraordinary eternal love.
Think about this…
Do you reflect on your commitment to your sweetheart often?
Do you express your commitment often?
Key Take Aways
Commitment makes us feel safe and secure
Love gives your life a brand new meaning

In 2025 I am working, along with the most amazing minds I’ve encountered, to create an online course for those that value romance.
We invest in what we value the most. I help busy, overwhelmed adults in loving relationships, who feel their romantic connection has become routine, go from feeling taken for granted and emotionally distant to experiencing exciting intimacy, deeper connection and romance fulfillment.
This transformation ensures they thrive with support, enduring romantic expression, and enriching their overall life satisfaction.
Love is the greatest adventure!

Can You Guess Which Suit Costs $1,200?
Plot twist: The one on the right is from The Black Tux and costs under $500. The "luxury" one on the left? That’ll run you $1,200 for essentially the same quality and style.
Your wedding photos will last forever, but that doesn't mean you need to pay forever-prices for a suit that looks identical. Smart brides know where to save without sacrificing style.
