Aaron Neville Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Its just like I dreamed it would be
I feel like we're frozen in time
And you're the only one I can see
Hey, I've looked All my Life for you
And now you're here
Hey, I've spent All my Life with you
And I never really knew how to love
I just hoped somehow I'd see
Asked for a little help from above
Send that angel down to me
Hey, I've looked All my Life for you
And now you're here
Hey, I've spent All my Life with you
All my Life
I never thought that I could feel a love so tender
I never thought I could let those feelings show
But now my heart is on my sleeve
and this love will never leave
I know
I know
Hey, I've looked All my Life for you
And now you're here
Hey, I've spent All my Life with you
All my Life
All my Life
Hey, I've looked All my Life for you
And now you're here
Hey, I've spent All my Life with you
All my Life
The lyrics of Aaron Neville's song 'All My Life' featuring Linda Rondstat tells the story of two people who finally found each other and have fallen deeply in love. The first two lines 'Am I really here in your arms, It's just like I dreamed it would be' is a depiction of how surreal the whole experience is for the singer, like something he had always longed for, but never quite believed he would have. He feels like time stands still whenever he is with his lover and his lover is the only person he can see.
The chorus is a reiteration of how long the singer has been searching for his lover, and how happy he is that they finally found each other. The lines 'I never really knew how to love, I just hoped somehow I'd see, Asked for a little help from above, Send that angel down to me' are a description of how the singer has not always been good at loving and may have struggled with it before. He then decided to ask for divine help, and now his lover is like that angel sent down to him.
The last stanza talks about how unlikely the whole experience seemed, and how he never thought he could feel such profound love. He is so overwhelmed by it that his heart is now on his sleeve, and this love will never leave. In summary, the song is an emotional description of how two people finally found each other and fell in love.

This song felt as if it were written for me. I did not get married until I was 36 years old. All my friends had long since married and many had divorced. I decided to wait for the right one. This was our wedding song and we are still together 26 years later. Still brings tears to my eyes.
