So on and on it will always be
True love true love
For you and I have a guardian angel
On high with nothing to do

On high with nothing nothing to do
But to give to you and to give to me
Love forever true
The lyrics of "True Love" by Dame Kiri Te Kanawa & Nelson Riddle and His Orchestra are about the idea of "true love" between two people. The song talks about how the love between the two people is mutual and everlasting, symbolized by the presence of a "guardian angel" who is there to ensure that their love lasts forever. The song uses simple language and a repetitive structure to emphasize the idea that true love is unconditional, and that it demands nothing in return.
The imagery of the "guardian angel" is particularly powerful, as it suggests that the love between the two people is not just a human phenomenon, but something that is guided and blessed by a higher power. The repeated phrase "true love" also emphasizes the idea that this love is pure and genuine, not just a passing infatuation or physical attraction.
Overall, "True Love" is a simple but effective celebration of enduring love, and a reminder that true love can survive even in the face of adversity.
