Only God
Emerson Drive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Made music in Tennessee
We found the gold of El Dorado
It's so good, making love, you and me
These arms, they will never hold another
These eyes, they are blind to any other
These lips, no other girl will ever kiss
This heart, it will always feel like this 'cause
Only God could stop me loving you
Only God could tell me not to
He sent you from Heaven
Just to make my dreams come true
When he opened the door
That you came walking through
Only God could stop me loving you
Now we struck oil in Oklahoma
And won the Oscar in Hollywood
And climbed the canyons of Arizona
And baby, making love never felt so good
These arms, they will never hold another
These lips, no other girl will ever kiss
This heart, it will always feel like this 'cause
Only God could stop me loving you
Only God could tell me not to
He sent you from Heaven
Just to make my dreams come true
When he opened the door
That you came walking through
Only God could stop me loving you
There ain't no girl
In the whole wide world
Who could take away my heart
And there ain't no man
Who could steal your hand
And tear us apart
But there is one God in Heaven above
Who gave me love
Strong enough to calm my heart
Only God could stop me loving you
Only God could tell me not to
Only God could stop me from loving you
Only God could tell me not to
The lyrics of Emerson Drive's song "Only God" convey a deep sense of commitment and devotion. The verses describe different adventures and achievements the singer and his lover have had together, but throughout it all, the singer remains steadfast in his love. He repeats the refrain "Only God could stop me loving you" several times, emphasizing that nothing and no one can come between them. He recognizes that the love he and his partner share is a gift from God, and he expresses gratitude for that gift by declaring his unending love.
One interesting aspect of this song is the way that it uses different locations and experiences to illustrate the depth of the singer's feelings. By mentioning places like Colorado and Hollywood, the song creates a sense of adventure and excitement, but it also suggests that the couple's love is strong enough to endure through any challenge or change. The use of the word "gold" in the second line of the chorus is also significant, as it suggests the idea of something precious and valuable that must be protected at all costs.
Another noteworthy aspect of this song is its use of religious imagery. The singer refers to God several times, and he suggests that his love for his partner is a reflection of the divine love that created the universe. This religious imagery adds an extra layer of meaning to the song, suggesting that the singer sees his love as something sacred and ordained by a higher power.

Love, love, love this song it's the ulitimate love song of all time. If I had a man that felt this way about me, I would hold on and never ever let go. Brad has a very romantic voice that makes your heart skip a beat.
