Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Be aware of the look in his eyes
They tell you the mood he's in
What kind of day it's been
For the love of him
Make him your reason for living
Give all the love you can give him
There'll be times when he won't say a word
And you wonder if it's something you said
A gentle touch of your hand
Tells him you understand
For the love of him
Make him your reason for living
Give all the love you can give him
All the love you can
Little things he forgets to do
Have you told him today I love you?
When he reaches out, be there
Show him that someone cares
He's a man and a man has to try
Let him run, let him fall, let him cry
His world won't fall apart
If you take him into your heart
For the love of him
Make him your reason for living
Give all the love you can give him
All the love you can
For the love of him
Make him your reason for living
Give all the love you can give him
All the love you can
For the love of him
Make him your reason for living
The song "For The Love of Him" by Bobbi Martin is a beautiful ode to the love and devotion a woman feels for her man. The lyrics describe the relationship between the woman and her lover with a deep understanding of the subtleties of love. The opening of the song talks about how the man enters the house, and the woman notices the look in his eyes, which he gives her when he comes back home. The look communicates the mood he is in and the kind of day he has had. It is clear that the woman cares about her man and is conscious of his needs and emotions.
The song then goes on to talk about how the woman should make her man a reason for living. She should give him all the love she can offer him. The woman must understand that there will be times when the man will not talk, and she may feel that it is something she did wrong, but she must not jump to conclusions. A gentle touch of the hand should make the man feel understood and cared for.
The song goes on to say how the woman should do her part in the relationship, by letting the man be a man, let him try, fall, and cry. She should be there in his moments of need, showing him that someone cares for him. Overall, the song is a celebration of love and devotion, urging the woman to love her man in all his imperfect glory.

I'm disappointed to say, I had never heard this song or even heard of Bobbi Martin. WOW! she blew me away with her voice. A true God given gift! Her work here was done and she returned to God in 2000. I quickly down loaded several of her recordings. She was way ahead of her time with here ability to sing rock, country and folk songs. Thank you Juan for posting this gift for all to hear!
