My All
Mariah Carey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am thinking of you
In my sleepless solitude tonight
If it's wrong to love you
Then my heart just won't let me be right
'Cause I've drowned in you
And I won't pull through
Without you by my side

I'd give my all to have
Just one more night with you
I'd risk my life to feel
Your body next to mine
'Cause I can't go on
Living in the memory of our song
I'd give my all for your love tonight

Baby, can you feel me?
Imagining I'm looking in your eyes
I can see you clearly
Vividly emblazoned in my mind
And yet you're so far
Like a distant star
I'm wishing on tonight

I'd give my all to have
Just one more night with you
I'd risk my life to feel
Your body next to mine
'Cause I can't go on
Living in the memory of our song
I'd give my all for your love tonight

I'd give my all to have
Just one more night with you
I'd risk my life to feel
Your body next to mine
'Cause I can't go on
Living in the memory of our song
I'd give my all for your love tonight
I'd give my all for your love
Tonight

Overall Meaning

In Mariah Carey's song "My All," the singer is consumed by thoughts of someone she loves deeply. She admits to thinking about them even when she shouldn't, unable to resist her heart's pull towards them. She has fallen for them completely, unable to go on without their presence by her side. She yearns for just one more chance to be close to them, risking everything just to feel their touch once more. The memory of their relationship is painful, and she feels stuck living in the past. The singer is asking for one more night with this person since the thought of being with this person is a better world for them to live in. She has given everything, but still needs more.


Line by Line Meaning

I am thinking of you
I am constantly consumed by thoughts of you


In my sleepless solitude tonight
Even though I'm alone, thoughts of you prevent me from sleeping


If it's wrong to love you
I'm aware that societal norms might dictate that it's wrong to love you


Then my heart just won't let me be right
Despite any outside influences, my heart still yearns for you


'Cause I've drowned in you
I am completely consumed by my love for you


And I won't pull through
I know I won't be able to get through this without you


Without you by my side
I need you to be with me to make it through


I'd give my all to have
I would do anything to have


Just one more night with you
Spend one more night with you, no matter what the cost


I'd risk my life to feel
I would go to the end of the earth to experience


Your body next to mine
The feeling of having your body next to mine


'Cause I can't go on
I can't keep living like this


Living in the memory of our song
I am stuck living in the past


Baby can you feel me
Wondering if you can sense my thoughts and feelings


Imagining I'm looking in your eyes
Picturing myself having a deep connection to you while looking into your eyes


I can see you clearly
I have a vivid memory of what you look like


Vividly emblazoned in my mind
The image of you is deeply engrained in my mind


And yet you're so far
I am reminded that you're not actually here with me right now


Like a distant star
You feel as far away as a star in the sky


I'm wishing on tonight
I am hoping that tonight, my wish to be with you will come true


(I'd) give my all for your love
I am willing to give everything I have for the chance to be with you


Tonight
Right now, in this moment

People do not know that Mimi made a trilogy of songs that embodies a love story....

My All ---1997's Butterfly Album.
After Tonight ---1999's Rainbow Album.
I Only Wanted ---2002's Charmbracelet Album.

"My All"---where she did everything to spend a night with the man she loves..."After Tonight"---where she was emotional & she expressed her love after their night together... "I Only Wanted"---begging the man she loves to stay with her for life.

The three songs have guitar inspired melody ;)
