I spent all day in the jewelry store I looked around 'till I was sure I found the one That she just couldn't turn down Now it's right here in a box in my pocket It'd break my heart if she doesn't like it I want her to know I mean business I ain't messing around.
The song makes very clear that this young man wants to enter into a permanent marriage relationship with his girlfriend. The nervousness which often surrounds a marriage proposal is captured very well by Overstreet:.
I'm reaching my hand down into my coat I can hardly speak for this lump in my throat I hope there's a yes in her heart tonight 'Cause it feels like the timing is right. The song reminds those of us who are married about that nervous time — for those who are not married it gives something to look forward to with nervous anticipation. Marriage is mentioned often by Overstreet on Time.
The album deals with relationships, the difficulties encountered and the joys experienced. The grandfather answers:. Even when it don't feel like it It's still love Even when we don't act like it It's still love We made ourself a promise And we're never giving up Even when it don't feel like love.

You could have spent more nights Down at the office You were smart enough To make the big time deals But your heart brought you home To us every evening You were always there to say the prayers Before our evening meals. The son is thankful that his father had his priorities straight. The most important thing in the father's life was to give time to his family, to pitch baseballs to his son, to talk with him, to give him time. Overstreet shows us the importance of spending time with our families.
The real important things in life are in the home, where your family is, rather than at work. This truth falls in line with the importance which Scripture gives to the family. It is important for husbands and fathers to give time to their families, to nurture them, to lead them in family worship, and to help them grow in every way possible. Our families must indeed be a priority in our lives. Overstreet does not just deal with the relationships between fathers and sons.
In this song the narrator is thanking his deceased father-in-law for the gift of his daughter. The song tells us how wonderful it is when Christian fathers love their wives and families.
