Lifetime
David James Stewart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I never cease to be amazed
By the simplest of wonders
Like when my little girl smiles
Or the rain comes falling from the sky
I?m content in the moment as I wait for you
And I want to know you, tell me your name
You are so alluring
Believe me when I say?
I would wait a lifetime to find you
Here is where I?ll be
The waiting is the hardest part
Even more so for impatient hearts like me
Who find a way to miss all the moments
But when patience finally pays its dues
And my eyes they finally fall on you
How sweet, how sweet it will be
So I say I love you, I know your name
Your name is a promise, I won?t play any games
You are so alluring
Believe me when I say?
I would wait a lifetime to find you
Here is where I?ll be
I would wait a lifetime to find you
Here is where I?ll be
The song "Lifetime" by David James Stewart is about the beauty of life's simple moments and the waiting for true love to arrive. The first verse talks about how the singer has been alive for ten thousand days and is still amazed by the simplest things, such as his daughter's smile or the rain falling from the sky. He is content in the present moment as he waits for his true love to arrive.
The chorus expresses the singer's desire to know his true love's name and how he's willing to wait a lifetime to find her. He finds her alluring and promises not to play any games with her. The waiting is the hardest part, especially for those who are impatient, but when patience finally pays off and he lays his eyes on his true love, it will be the sweetest feeling.
The second verse reinforces the idea of waiting being difficult for those who are impatient, but it is worth it in the end. When he finally finds his true love, he knows her name and sees it as a promise. He is enamored by her and is not going to play any games with her.
The overall message of the song "Lifetime" is that life is beautiful in its simplest moments, but the wait for true love can be hard. However, when true love finally arrives, it will be worth the wait.
