I can’t never hear this song without thinking of a funny story. When I was young I knew a religious Christian girl who belonged to a very strict church. When she was getting married, just out of high school, she longed to have this song played at her wedding. The church forbade it because they only allowed “Christ centered songs” in the church. She was so disappointed. Finally they decided to change the lyrics to include Jesus and the church allowed it.
I was at her wedding, sitting in the back of the excited church full of people. When the woman sang this song, the new lyrics were “Talking it over, just the three of us,” the third being Jesus, but dang if that whole church didn’t start whispering “Is she pregnant?” Which really would have been frowned on in that congregation! The best of intentions...
That’s a funny story. How often we cannot predict outcomes.
