My All
(HD) 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

The song My All by Mariah Carey talks about a longing for a lost love, with the singer imagining her past lover vividly and wishing for just one more night with him. The lyrics express a deep desire to be reunited with her lost love, to feel his body next to her, and to be able to love him without fear of judgment. The line "If it's wrong to love you, then my heart just won't let me be right" speaks of the idea that society or others might view their love as wrong or taboo, but that the singer's heart cannot help but love this person regardless.


The second verse speaks of the distance between the two lovers, with the singer imagining looking into his eyes and yet feeling like he is so far away, like a distant star. The theme of memory also comes up, with the singer unable to move on from the memory of their love and wishing to have it again. The chorus repeats that sentiment, with the singer willing to give her all for just one more night with him, even if it means risking her life.


Overall, the song is a powerful expression of longing and desire for a lost love, with Mariah Carey beautifully conveying the intense emotions that come along with such a feeling.

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 ;)
