The Power of Love
Andrea Bocelli Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The whispers in the morning of lovers sleeping tight
Are rolling by like thunder now as I look in your eyes
I hold on to your body and feel each move you make
Your voice is warm and tender a love that I could not forsake
'Cause you are my lady and I'm your man
Whenever you reach for me I'll do all that I can
Lost is how I'm feeling lying in your arms
When the world outside's too much to take
That all ends when I'm with you
Even though there may be times it seems I'm far away
But never wonder where I am cause I am always by your side
'Cause you are my lady and I'm your man
Whenever you reach for me I'll do all that I can
We're heading for something somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened but I'm ready to learn
'Bout the power of love
The sound of your heart beating made it clear suddenly
The feeling that I can't go on is light years away
'Cause you are my lady and I'm your man
Whenever you reach for me I'll do all that I can
We're heading for something somewhere I've never been




Sometimes I am frightened but I'm ready to learn
'Bout the power of love

Overall Meaning

The song "The Power of Love" by Andrea Bocelli describes the intense love shared between two people. The opening lines of the song convey the moment of intimacy and tenderness between lovers but as the verse progresses, the idea of the power of love is introduced. The singer, being the man in the relationship, declares himself to be his lady's man, promising to always be there for her whenever she needs him. He expresses his feelings of safety and security he gets when he is with his lover, and how the world seems to be a much better place when they are together. This love, for him, is so powerful that it has the ability to make him learn and grow, even though it can be scary at times.


Furthermore, the song also delves into the idea that love has the ability to heal, inspire and make everything seem alright, as the sound of his lady's beating heart gives him a sense of calm and assurance that he has never felt before. When one is in love, they are willing to do whatever it takes to protect and hold onto that love, and the song beautifully portrays this through the lyrics.
