Danny's Song
Swon Brothers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

People smile and tell me I'm the lucky one,
And we've just begun.
Think I'm gonna have a son.
He will be like she and me, free as a dove,
Conceived in love.
The sun is gonna shine above.

And even though we ain't got money,
I'm so in love with you honey,
And everything will bring a chain of love.
And in the morning, when I rise,
You bring a tear of joy to my eyes
And tell me everything is gonna be alright.

Seems as though, a month ago, I was Beta-Chi,
Never got high.
And oh I was a sorry guy.
And now I smile and face a girl that shares my name.
Now I'm through with the game.
This boy will never be the same.

And even though we ain't got money,
I'm so in love with you honey,
And everything will bring a chain of love.
And in the morning, when I rise,
You bring a tear of joy to my eyes
And tell me everything, is gonna be alright.

Love a girl who holds the world in a paper cup.
And drink it up.
Love her and she'll bring you luck.
And if you find she helps your mind, buddy take her home.
Oh don't you live alone.
Try to earn what lovers own.

And even though we ain't got money,
I'm so in love with you honey,
And everything will bring a chain of love.
And in the morning, when I rise,
You bring a tear of joy to my eyes
And tell me everything is gonna be alright.

Even though we ain't got money,
I'm so in love with you, honey,
And everything will bring a chain of love.
And in the morning, when I rise,




You bring a tear of joy to my eyes
And tell me everything is gonna be alright.

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of the song, "People smile and tell me I'm the lucky one, and we've just begun. Think I'm gonna have a son..." paint a picture of a couple who are excited about their new journey together. It appears as though the couple does not have a lot of money, but they are deeply in love and hopeful for what the future holds. The line "He will be like she and me, free as a dove, Conceived in love. The sun is gonna shine above" suggests that they have a positive outlook on their future and believe that their child will inherit their free-spirited nature.


The chorus, "And even though we ain't got money, I'm so in love with you honey, and everything will bring a chain of love. And in the morning, when I rise, you bring a tear of joy to my eyes and tell me everything is gonna be alright," illustrates the power of their love to transcend their financial circumstances. For them, everything is connected through love, and despite the difficulties they may face, their love will keep them going.


In the second verse, the singer reflects on his past and how he has changed since meeting his partner. He used to be a "sorry guy" who never got high, but now he is grateful to have found someone who shares his name and has helped him move past his old ways. The final verse talks about the importance of finding someone who makes you happy, even if you don't have much to offer. The line "Love a girl who holds the world in a paper cup. And drink it up. Love her and she'll bring you luck," suggests that finding true love can be a transformative experience.
