Just what does Gordon mean in the verse that states:
"If you want to know what magic lies
Beneath the willlow blooms
In each corner of each room
Where my love has stayed"

He could just mean,"if you want to know why my love for you has lasted just take a good look at all we've done together". The willow blooms could be at a romantic place they visited together and the corners of each room could represent the life they have made for themselves. Those are things that just don't end overnight,so he's just re-affirming his love for her by saying that. Hope that makes sense.

If you want to know what magic lies beneath the halo'd moon in each corner of each room
