Daniel O'Donnell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't want an old horse shoe
Want your kiss 'cause I just can't miss
With a good luck charm like you
Come on and be my little good luck charm
Uh-huh huh, you sweet delight
I want a good luck charm
To have, to have, to hold, to hold tonight
Don't want a silver dollar
Rabbit's foot on a string
The happiness in your warm caress
No rabbit's foot can bring
Come on and be my little good luck charm
Uh-huh huh, you sweet delight
I want a good luck charm
A-hanging on my arm
To have, to have, to hold, to hold tonight
If I found a lucky penny
I'd toss it across the bay
Your love is worth all the gold on earth
No wonder that I say
Come on and be my little good luck charm
Uh-huh huh, you sweet delight
I want a good luck charm
A-hanging on my arm
To have, to have, to hold, to hold tonight
The song "Good Luck Charm" by Daniel O'Donnell is a classic love song that talks about how the singer's love interest is his good luck charm. The lyrics depict how the person does not need any materialistic symbols of luck like a four-leaf clover, a silver dollar, or a rabbit's foot but wants the person's kiss instead because he can't miss with a good luck charm like the one who he’s in love with. The love interest is the only good luck charm he needs to have a good time. The singer goes on to express how his "good luck charm" is worth more than all the gold on earth, implying that he is willing to give up everything for the love of his life.
The song is a classic representation of a love that goes beyond the materialistic things in life. The singer emphasizes that the happiness he derives from his love's warm caress is more precious than anything in the world. The sweet melody somewhat juxtaposes the fact that the song is about how someone's love is their good luck charm, enunciating the beauty that comes with a simple yet loving relationship.
