Wynn Stewart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't you feel it ain't showin'
Though you must be a knowin'
I've got a big, big love
It's not the kind to be concealin'
Just the kind to be revealin'
It's not a little bitty feelin'
I think it's time we done some walkin'
I think it's time we done some talkin'
Well there's a great big moon above
But we've got a big, big love
This is not infatuation
This is a true love sensational
It's not my imagination
I've got a big, big love for you
Can't you tell my love's a growin'
In Wynn Stewart's song "Big Big Love," the singer declares his love for his significant other. He states that although he feels tremendous love for his partner, he hasn't shown it adequately. He is asking his lover to recognize and feel the love that he has for her. He believes that it is time for them to communicate; they should walk and talk together to build up the love that they share. Although there is a great big moon above them, it's their big and pure love for each other that should be celebrated.
Stewart's lyrics emphasize that he has an authentic, undeniable love for his partner. It's not just a passing infatuation or a temporary attraction. Instead, it's a sensational and real love that has grown over time. The phrase "big, big love" reinforces this idea. The repetition of the word "big" emphasizes the enormity of the singer's emotions. The song expresses that love isn't always easy to express, but it's essential to be present and honest about it. The singer is in love with his significant other, and this song is a declaration of that love.

Knew Mooney played with Merle and Buck but did not know he played with Wynn. Waylon was right Ralph was the best. Waylon has a great record of Donna on my mind on a Waylon live CD set and you can really tell it's Mooney on the steel

Yep, also the Stewart song Donna On My Mind that Waylon covered. WJ covered several songs Mooney did with Wynn, Buck and Merle. "Pick it, Moon."
