All the Things You Are
Billy Vaughn & His Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You are the promised kiss of springtime
That makes the lonely winter seem long
You are the breathless hush of evening
That trembles on the brink of a lovely song

You are the angel glow that lights a star
The dearest things I know are what you are
Some day my happy arms will hold you
And some day I'll know that moment divine




When all the things you are, are mine

Overall Meaning

"All the Things You Are" is a classic love song that is all about praising the one you love. The first two lines set the scene, with the singer likening their beloved to the first kiss of springtime after a long, lonely winter. The metaphor is a powerful one, suggesting that the person they love brings light and warmth to their life after a period of darkness and coldness. In the next line, the singer describes their lover as a "breathless hush of evening", which suggests that they are both calming and exciting at the same time. They add that this person is on the "brink of a lovely song", which hints at the passion and creativity that this relationship brings out in them.


The next two lines continue the theme of this person's specialness. They describe their loved one as an "angel glow that lights a star", which seems to suggest that they are otherworldly and magical. The singer goes on to say that the "dearest things" they know are all embodied in this person, which speaks to the depth and importance of their feelings. Finally, the singer expresses their hope that someday they will be able to hold this person in their "happy arms" and experience "that moment divine" when they are truly together and all the things that make the person special are fully theirs.


Line by Line Meaning

You are the promised kiss of springtime
You are the hope and anticipation of renewed life that brings joy to an otherwise bleak winter


That makes the lonely winter seem long
Your absence during the winter is felt so deeply that the season feels endless


You are the breathless hush of evening
You are the quiet stillness and peacefulness of dusk that is so breathtaking that I am left speechless


That trembles on the brink of a lovely song
Your presence is so inspiring that it feels as though a beautiful melody is waiting to be written about you


You are the angel glow that lights a star
You are the radiant light that illuminates the beauty and wonder of the universe


The dearest things I know are what you are
The most important and beloved things in my life are all embodied within you


Some day my happy arms will hold you
There will be a time when I will finally be able to embrace you with the joy and affection that I have kept inside for so long


And some day I'll know that moment divine
I will experience a sublime moment of pure happiness and fulfillment


When all the things you are, are mine
When I am finally able to possess every aspect of your being, I will have achieved true happiness and fulfillment

¡Maravillosas y espectaculares piezas musicales! No me resistí, soy PCD-Persona con discapacidad y me puse en una silla fuerte y sentada allí, inventé mi propia coreografía, con movimientos suaves y rítmicos, con estiramientos musculares simétricos y también independientes, libres, que tanto benefician a nuestro organismo. ¡Muchísimas gracias Marcos Benetoli! El movimiento es VIDA, caminemos más, desplacémonos con alegría, respirando profundamente, maravillándonos el estar aqui, y tener la oportunidad de disfrutar de esta CREACIÓN INFINITA, y parte de ella cada uno de nosotros, que ya vinimos programados con todas las herramientas para ser exitosos y felices. Un gran abrazo de amor y luz para cada uno y una. ¡Grandioso estar VIVOS! 😍🙏😇
