For Your Precious Love

The singer describes a love that feels precious and deeply important. At first, wanting the beloved made him lonely and sad; later, he expresses hope that their relationship can keep growing. His feelings move between hurt, longing, and confidence, especially when he insists that others may be wrong to doubt their love.

The phrase “lonely and blue” means very sad, with “blue” used as an image for unhappiness. Comparing their love to something “wider” and “deeper than any sea” suggests a feeling that is vast and still growing. When he says others “don’t know,” he means they cannot judge the strength of a relationship they do not fully understand.

There is a small tension in the lyrics: he seems surprised to realize that the beloved was “fooling” him, yet he continues to declare strong devotion and imagine a future together. This could suggest forgiveness, hope, or a willingness to overlook past hurt. The words do not explain exactly what happened, so the listener cannot be sure whether the relationship is secure or whether the singer is trying to convince himself as much as others.
