If This Is Love
Bonnie Bianco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wondering just how long I could last from the way you looked at me
I got weak and suddenly realized that I was falling fast
I could feel my heart loosing all control
You're in ever part - my body, mind and soul
How was I to know until you came into my life
If this is love, if this is love
If this is love, if this is love
You'll never be alone my heart will be your home
When I saw you walk my way I was lost for words to say
You just smiled and didn't seem to care
You know so instinctively just how much you mean to me
Just how much my heart wanted to share
I could feel your fingers burning on my skin
I could feel the fire raging deep within
There's no way to stop the passion building up inside
If this is love, if this is love
I'll be the light that shines into your night
If this is love, if this is love
You'll never be alone my heart will be your home
My heart will be your home
I'll give you everything
I'll be the light that shines into your night
In the beginning of the song, the singer describes how they met the object of their affection in the moonlit midnight air. They immediately feel a strong attraction and realize they're falling fast for this person, with their heart losing all control. The love interest is now a part of their body, mind, and soul. At this point, they didn't know what was happening until the love interest came into their life.
Later on, the singer expresses how speechless they were when the love interest walked their way. The love interest instinctively knows how much they mean to the singer and how much the singer's heart wants to share. There's a growing passion inside that can't be stopped. In the end, the singer promises to be the light that shines into the love interest's night and that their heart will be the love interest's home.
Overall, the song tells the story of falling deeply in love with someone and being willing to give them everything.
