{Play the Music low and sway to the rhythm of love}

I've had this song stuck in my head since February. Not consistently, but it's always there. It has been stuck in my head since my dad passed away. I heard it in the car when I was back in Colorado every single time I was in the car and wasn't sure what it meant. I love the song, but why did it keep coming on? I fully believe that people talk to me through music. So I'm guessing this is somehow a way that I'm being talked to. 
Some hidden meaning that I have taken from this song:
1. "My head is stuck in the clouds"...well I'm a weather person and he knew that I loved weather
2. "We'll watch the world from above"...well he is watching from above now.
3. "We may only have tonight"...make the most of the time you have with the ones you love. Honestly.
4. "Play the music low and sway to the rhythm of love"...he loved music and would always play music, mostly Jazz but quite a variety.
5. "And long after I've gone, You'll still be humming along, And I will keep you in my mind"...I still hum and hear your voice and tears come to my eyes when I think of you and you are always in my mind.

While this song might have more of a romantic meaning behind it, at least to the guys who wrote/sing it, I think it has a bit of a different meaning to me. This is just one song and just one way I think he's talking to me. Tears still come to my eyes when I hear it, but I turn it up and sing right along.



My head is stuck in the clouds
She begs me to come down
Says "Boy quit foolin' around"
I told her "I love the view from up here
Warm sun and wind in my ear
We'll watch the world from above
As it turns to the rhythm of love"
We may only have tonight
But till the morning sun you're mine all mine
Play the Music low and sway to the rhythm of love

My heart beats like a drum
A guitar string to the strum
A beautiful song to be sung
She's got blue eyes deep like the sea
That roll back when she's laughing at me
She rises up like the tide
The moment her lips meet mine
We may only have tonight
But till the morning sun you're mine all mine

Play the Music low and sway to the rhythm of love

When the moon is low
We can dance in slow motion
And all your tears will subside
All your tears will dry

Ba-ba ba-ba ba-ba baba
Da da-da dum da-da dum
Ba-ba ba-ba ba-ba ba-ba
Da da-da dum da-da dum

And long after I've gone
You'll still be humming along
And I will keep you in my mind
The way you make love so fine
We may only have tonight
But till the morning sun you're mine all mine
Play the music low and sway to the rhythm of love
