This is one of the most beautiful melancholic love songs I've ever heard, and I first heard it in a Riker/Troi video (I'm a Star Trek fan and I love Will Riker and Deanna Troi). It's must-hear for anyone and everyone, I'll say. I don't see any hidden meaning. Maybe the "come out of the shade/into the sun" part; I think the singer is suggesting that the woman. Oh! How do I explain? That the woman give a relationship between them a chance/second chance/another chance, so to speak. It's really beautiful. And the scene in "Star Trek: Insurrection" where Riker asks Deanna if they could fix a mistake they made and reconvene is what comes to my mind when I hear it. This song and that scene are a perfect match, you can't possibly misunderstand the message.

I think this is one example of songs that glorify adultery - "I'd no more love just one kind 'o woman than drink only one kind 'o wine" - and the melody (and with the way it is sung) sorta conceals it. Just because a song sounds pleasant or good doesn't mean it is, because lyrics are a major factor in what song is good. As for "the stare" and "the hunger" (if you're a religious person), Jesus said that a person who keeps on looking at another who isn't his/her spouse longingly or lustfully has already committed adultery in his/her heart. I can't believe I grew up listening to this song and actually liking it, because I always had the Bible's viewpoint on adultery.

This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. I first heard this when I was 7, and I thought it was a romantic love song. I found it again in 2012 or 2013, and I realized that it was talking about how parents should appreciate and love their children while still young. I think every parent should hear it and think about it. Don't expect or demand from your offspring to behave or think like a teen or an adult; let them grow with age, while appreciating the short time you have with them. Be the kind of parent you had or wished you had; be your child's best friend, teacher, counselor, etc., you're more than a parent, after all. You should want them to remember you as someone (fill in the blank yourself). Remember that your actions affect them.
