Maggie Reilly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Angel from above
Bringing me oh, precious love
And I am falling further...
But I don't mind, by now I know
It's so easy to let go
Every day's a new beginning
All I want is here with you
Right now
(Angel)
(Right now)
My angel, I never knew
That everything I lost, I find in you
And now the future holds no fear
You've blown it all away
Because it's easy when you say
Every day's a new beginning
Ever since you've been around
All I want is here with you
Right now
Angel
Right now
No other love...
No other love...
No other love...
No other love...
Angel
Mmm mmm
All I want is here with you, right now, now, now
The song "Now" by Maggie Reilly is a love song about the feeling of falling in love and being in the moment with the loved one. The lyrics describe the love interest as an "angel from above" who brings precious love and makes everything better. The singer expresses a willingness to let go and fall further in love with the person, stating that it's easy to do so when they're around. The chorus emphasizes the idea that every day is a new beginning since the person has been in the singer's life and that all they want is to be with them in the present moment.
The song delivers a positive and sweet message about love being a transformative force that can eradicate fears and worries about the future. The use of "angel" as a metaphor for the love interest adds to the mystical and magical quality of the experience. The singer's vulnerability is palpable in the way the words convey the idea of being completely taken over by the feeling of love.
