Timeless
Dallas Smith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They burn out, run out of gas, yeah
Most things come and go
Outta style, they lose their glow but
Best things you've gotta keep
Sweet as honey, meant to be
Picture perfect, put together
And only getting better
Just like a red wine, apple pie
Rolex, suit and tie
Grandaddy's Caddy shined up
Sitting in the drive
Mayberry, fishing pole
John Denver, country road
You know it once you find it
No other word describes it
Girl your love is timeless
Oh, so timeless
You help me figure out
Just what my mama told me about, yeah
When the right one comes along
She'll hit you like a classic song
She'll dance around up in your head
You'll hang on every word she said
And fifty years down the road
She'll still be good as gold
Just like a red wine, apple pie
Rolex, suit and tie
Grandaddy's Caddy shined up
Sitting in the drive
Mayberry, fishing pole
John Denver, country road
You know it once you find it
No other word describes it
Girl your love is timeless
Oh, so timeless
You're a diamond
A '59 Gibson
You're the Ryman
You're getting finer with time
You're timeless
You're so timeless
Just like that
Red wine, apple pie
Rolex, suit and tie
Grandaddy's Caddy shined up
Sitting in the drive
Mayberry, fishing pole
John Denver, country road
You know it once you find it
No other word describes it
Girl your love is timeless
You're so timeless
Oh, so timeless

The artist acknowledges that there will be trying times in life that may cause his partner's love to fade, but he's confident that their love is timeless and will only grow stronger with time. The song paints a picture of an ideal love, one that makes you feel safe, fulfilled, and destined for eternity.
In conclusion, "Timeless" is a beautiful love song that celebrates the power of long-lasting love. The lyrics are thought-provoking and meaningful, and the singer's emotive voice brings the words to life.

Even if my son cries, when he hears this song he stops crying and laughs. Both me and my 1 year old son love this song. From a Japanese parent and child.

Probably the most respectful and nicest singers I’ve ever met. Doesn’t matter what Dallas smith does whether it’s hard rock or country he delivers the greatest music. He deserves Nothin but love and success. I’m a huge fan, your music is uplifting and gives me such positive motivation to press on and make life happen.
