Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I will hold you tight never let you go
Tomorrow's party will never end
Like a bud in spring our love will bloom and grow
Your eyes to me are precious stones
On a face that's made of a solid gold
When I hold your hand I want to cry
from the could you are my world
The soul inside now belongs to you
I'm drowning in a love so deep
We will overcome those ups and downs
So happiness is forever ours to keep
I will follow you to the end of time
I will be the blood flowing through your veins
I will ride with you till the end of the line
You will be my everything; my world
You are; you are; you are; you are,
Oh boy; you are my world.

I sang this to my girlfriend in a cafe in Amsterdam in 2003. I'd taken her on a surprise holiday for her birthday. She thought we were simply going for a picnic on the coast an hour's drive from our home, but I had our suitcases in the car & we were heading to the ferry. The night before, in our hotel near the Rijksmuseum, I'd realised for the first time that she loved me like I loved her. That morning in the cafe, I sang to her then get down on one knee, at the same time she got down on one knee too. We both asked each other to spend the rest of our lives together, & everyone in the cafe clapped. I still sing it to her now, 20 years later, & I still mean every word of it. I love you, my darling Maria. You are my world now, then & always.🥰

@@stevencorsoe9575 In the northwest of England, we didn't care if the artist was straight, gay, old, young, black, white, blue or male/female, or whatever they went as.
We just appreciated the great music in the 80s/90s that our ears were blessed with, and that we could dance too.
