Darlene Love Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He's all I wanted all my life and even more
He smiled at me and the music started playing
Here comes the bride when he walked through the door
Today I met the boy I'm gonna marry
The boy who's life and dreams and love I want to share
The boy whose on my hand a band of gold will bear
The band of gold I always dreamed I'd wear
When we kissed I felt a sweet sensation
This time it wasn't just my imagination
Today I met the boy I'm gonna marry
He's just what I've been waiting for oh yes
With every kiss, oh this is it as if my heart keeps saying
Today I met the boy I'm gonna marry
When we kissed I felt a sweet sensation
This time it wasn't just my imagination
Today I met the boy I'm gonna marry
He's just what I've been waiting for oh yes
With every kiss, oh this is it as if my heart keeps saying
Today I met the boy I'm gonna marry, yeah, yeah, yeah
Today I met the boy
Today I met the boy, yeah, yeah
Today I met the boy
Darlene Love's "The Boy I'm Gonna Marry" is a classic love song about finally finding the one you want to spend the rest of your life with. The song is narrated by a woman who has met the man of her dreams, the one she will marry. She describes her instant connection to him and the overwhelming feeling of love that she has never experienced before. The music starts playing when he smiles at her, indicating that this is the moment she has been waiting for. She sees the future with him, where they will share their lives, dreams, and love. The mention of the "band of gold" that she always dreamt of wearing symbolizes her desire for commitment that will last a lifetime. When they kiss, she feels a "sweet sensation," which assures her that this love is real and her heart echoes the same sentiment.
This song is a perfect representation of the girl group sound of the early 60s, which was extremely popular at the time. The catchy melody and emotional lyrics made it one of the most beloved songs of its time. The song was written by Phil Spector, Ellie Greenwich, and Jeff Barry, who were well-known for their involvement in the music scene in the 60s. Phil Spector was the producer behind many of the girl group hits, and "The Boy I'm Gonna Marry" was no exception.

I met The Boy Iโm Going To Marry on the first day my family and I moved to our new house 300 miles away from our old one. He was mowing the lawn when we arrived, along with the moving van.
I was 17. 52 years later, weโre still married.This song is my life.
