Lightning is Striking Again

Lou Christie:

Nature's taken over my one-track mind
Believe it or not you're in my heart all the time

People Say

The Dixie Cups, in "People Say," describe the feeling that love will last forever, and that other people's opinions are easy to disregard.

People say it's just a summer romance
People say our love won't last for long
They're so sure we will part
But I know deep in my part
That they are wrong
     (backup singers: I don't care what the people say)

People say it's just the way the stars shine
And it really isn't love at all
But each time that we kiss
I just know we'll be like this
Summer, winter and fall...
     (backup singers: I don't care what the people say)

In the fade out, the background parts is:
"I don't care what the people say
I don't really care 'bout the people.
I don't care what the people say
I don't really care 'bout the people...."

How Do you Do It?

You give me a feeling in my heart
Like an arrow passing through it
'Spose that you think you're very smart
But won't you tell me how do you do it?

Gerry and the Pacemakers, 1960's

The only time I feel alright is by your side

This is not as sweet as some of the other songs here, but still it seems to express the feeling of "foreverness" and nesting, and the exclusion of the rest of the world.

The Kinks, from 1964:

I'm not content to be with you in the daytime
Girl I want to be with you all of the time
The only time I feel alright is by your side
Girl I want to be with you all of the time
All day and all of the night

I believe that you and me last forever
Oh yeah, all day and night I'm yours, leave me never
The only time I feel alright is by your side
Girl I want to be with you all of the time
All day and all of the night
