You're My First My Last My Everything
Barry White Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the answer to all my dreams
You're my sun, my moon, my guiding star
My kind of wonderful, that's what you are
I know there's only, only one like you
There's no way they could have made two
You're all I'm living for, your love I'll keep forevermore
And with you I've found so many things
A love so new, only you could bring
Can't you see it's you? You make me feel this way (Can't you see it's you?)
You're like a first morning dew on a brand new day
I see so many ways that I
Can love you 'til the day I die
You're my reality, yet I'm lost in a dream
You're the first, the last, my everything
I know there's only, only one like you
There's no way they could have made two
Girl, you're my reality, but I'm lost in a dream
You're the first, you're the last, my everything
You and me babe is you
The lyrics of Barry White's "You're the First, the Last, My Everything" express the depth of love and devotion that the singer feels for his partner. He considers his partner to be everything to him- his first and his last, the answer to all his dreams. The metaphor of comparing his partner to the sun, moon, and guiding star denotes their significance in his life. He also describes his partner as his kind of wonderful, indicating that he is completely smitten by them.
The singer believes that his partner is one of a kind and that nobody else could ever replace them. He asserts that he'll keep his partner's love forevermore and they are all he is living for. The second stanza expresses the joy and bliss he has found in the relationship. The love that he shares with his partner is so new and fresh that only they could bring it. The simile used in the lyrics, "You're like a first morning dew on a brand new day," paints a vivid picture of how pure and refreshing their love is.
The final stanza reasserts the singer's undying love and devotion for his partner. He is lost in a dream yet his partner is his reality. The repetition of "You're the first, the last, my everything," emphasizes the significance of his partner in his life.
