A thousand kisses from you is never too much
I just don't wanna stop
Oh, my love
A million days in your arms is never too much
And I just don't wanna stop
Oh, my love
I just don't wanna stop
Oh, my love
A million days in your arms is never too much
And I just don't wanna stop
I can't fool myself, I don't want nobody else to ever love me
You are my shinin' star, my guiding light, my love fantasy
There's not a minute, hour, day or night that I don't love you
You're at the top of my list 'cause I'm always thinkin' of you
I still remember in the days when I scared to touch you
How I spent my day dreamin' plannin' how to say I love you
You must have known that I had feelings deep enough to swim in
That's when you opened up your heart and you told me to come in
Oh, my love
A thousand kisses from you is never too much
I just don't wanna stop
Oh, my love
A million days in your arms is never too much
And I just don't wanna stop
Oh, my love
A thousand kisses from you is never too much
I just don't wanna stop
Oh, my love
A million days in your arms is never too much
And I just don't wanna stop (never too much, never too much, never too much)
(Never too much, never too much, never too much, never too much)
The lyrics to Paul Kalkbrenner's "A Million Days" express an everlasting love that the singer has for their partner. The singer explains that a thousand kisses from their partner is never too much, and even a million days in their partner's arms wouldn't be too much. The love between the two is so strong that the singer just doesn't want to stop loving their partner. The chorus repeats this sentiment multiple times, emphasizing the deep love and desire that the singer feels.
The second verse is noteworthy in that it pays tribute to the unconditional nature of the singer's love for their partner. The singer admits that they can't fool themselves into loving anyone else and that their partner is their "shinin' star" and "guiding light". The love the singer has for their partner is their "love fantasy", and it seems as if the singer could not go a single day without loving their partner. The lyrics also reflect on the beginning of their relationship and how the singer was once scared to touch their partner. However, the singer's deep feelings eventually led them to open up to their partner and begin their journey together.
