Song Meaning of “Buttercup” by Bob Luman
The song ‘Buttercup’ by Bob Luman tells the story of a man trying to win over the affections of a woman he loves, likely because he has unintentionally hurt her in the past. The man expresses sorrow and regret for his mistakes, asking for forgiveness and a chance to make amends for any wrong-doings.
The man acknowledges his own shortcomings and expresses a desire to make things right, and to prove his love and devotion. He speaks of the ‘magic’ and ‘rainbows’ of love, how it can bridge any gap and bring two hearts to a state of blissful harmony. He uses the metaphor of a ‘buttercup’ to describe that special person in his life, his “hope and charity”.
The man promises to cherish and honor the love he found by his side, and continues to show his appreciation with beauty and grace. He acknowledges that there is still hurt and pain, but with perseverance and understanding, his love for her will always remain.
