Paradise by the Dashboard Light

Paradise by the Dashboard Light by Meat Loaf is the eight minute 28 second long song off the iconic album Bat Out of Hell.  The song is divided into three parts:
     I.  Paradise - Part one starts with two people thinking back to when they were a high school couple at a lake when the boy (Meat Loaf) is positive he and the girl are "gonna go all the way tonight."
     II.  Let Me Sleep on It - The girl (Ellen Foley) immediately interrupts the boy's vision by yelling "Stop right there!" and asks the boy if he will love her forever but he keeps responding by saying how he will give her "an answer in the morning".  Because the girl keeps asking, he gives in and says he will love her until the end of time.
     III.  Praying for the End of Time - The couple does not like each other anymore, but the boy is "praying for the end of time" because then he will not have to fulfill the promise he made to her.
