Lyrics
Oh you and me girl
Got a lot of love in store
And it flows through you
And it flows through me
And I love you so much more
Then my life, I can see beyond forever
Oh you make my world, a summer day
Are you just a dream to fade away
Treasuring a romantic relationship is so important. We need to make that a high priority throughout life.
If we don’t recognize and cherish our romance, it may be as the lyrics state “just a dream to fade away”.
According to Psychology Today, a "treasured relationship" refers to a deeply fulfilling and valuable connection with another person, often signifying a partnership where both individuals feel deeply connected, supported, and cherished, much like finding a hidden "treasure" in the form of a strong, supportive bond.
To treasure something; to keep carefully, to value
Lyrics
Nobody gets too much heaven no more
It's much harder to come by
I'm waiting in line
Nobody gets too much love anymore
It's as high as a mountain
And harder to climb
The premise of this song is that no one gets enough romantic love. This kind of love is rare, but it shouldn’t be. We should all be able to find, experience, and treasure this beautiful level of love. If you have this love in your life right now, be sure to express gratitude and celebrate it!
“True Love” is considered rare. Finding a deeply committed, passionate, and intimate relationship, which encompasses the full spectrum of romantic love, is not a common experience for everyone. “Consummate Love” is a near-perfect relationship with high levels of passion and commitment is considered quite rare to find.
Psychology Today
Something amazing about this song is that the recording process was the longest of all the tracks on the album “Spirits Having Flown” as there are nine layers of three-part harmony, creating 27 voices, though the high falsetto voices are the most pronounced in the final mix.
Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys spoke positively of the song, stating, "I was really loved and impressed with the harmonies they achieved on that record. I'm very very proud of those guys; they're exceptionally good at harmony. They’re a very heavy duty harmony group." (Wikipedia)
Lyrics
I can see a new tomorrow
Everything we are will never die
Loving's such a beautiful thing
“Everything we are will never die”, what an eloquent way to express a forever love.
As a widow, I know that love energy doesn’t die. It can change, as our focus and attention will change, but it doesn’t die. I believe in profound, deep, eternal love and I also believe it extends to both my late husband and current husband, to my children, friends, family, etc.
What are your thoughts about timeless love? Can that love exist before you were born, during your lifetime, after death? These are huge questions but if you get the feeling they do exist, doesn’t it change how you view your loved ones?
I met LaDena 2 weeks ago, and we had a long walk and talk tonight. The spiritual energy between us helped us feel much more connected than our limited time together, and knowledge of one another, could explain. It was as if we were being reunited after a thousand years of intensely intimate history. (Journal entry 1992)
Think about this…
Do you believe in true love?
Is true love rare?
If you have a true love, do you treasure it with your loving thoughts, kind gestures, and attention?
Key Take Aways
It may be possible that forever, eternal love exists before birth, during your lifetime and after death.
Romantic love is defined as “Heaven” in this song, and may be the best experience we enjoy in this life!
