Kiss Me With The Wind
Brenda Russell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's always said there's someone
Waiting for you
I thought that it would never be
Someone really watchin' over me
But now I feel a breeze

Kiss me with the wind
Touch me with the sky
Hold me in the darkness
Wake me in the light
You're so very close
I'm so very shy
Kiss me with the wind
Touch me with the sky

Sometimes I worry
I'll be looking for you
But you keep moving off the line
I can never see you right behind
With me all the time

Kiss me with the wind
Touch me with the sky
Hold me in the darkness
Wake me in the light
You're so very close
I'm so very shy
Kiss me with the wind
Touch me with the sky

I never felt this way before
I never needed any more

You're so very close
I'm so very shy
Kiss me with the wind
Touch me with the sky

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Brenda Russell's song 'Kiss Me With The Wind' speak about the feeling of being watched over by someone special, even if that person may not physically exist. The opening lines suggest that the singer had always heard people say that there's someone waiting for us, but she never believed it for herself until she actually started to feel a spiritual presence around her. The wind represents this force, which brings comfort and connection to the singer's soul. She implores it to kiss her gently, touch her with the sky, and be with her through both light and darkness.


The second verse talks about the singer's worries of missing this special someone, who she imagines is always close but just out of sight. However, she takes solace in the fact that this person is still watching over her and touching her heart, even if she can't see them. The chorus repeats the same lines, emphasizing the singer's yearning for this presence, and her shyness in accepting it. Despite the uncertainty, she feels more complete and satisfied than ever before, and doesn't need anything more than the knowledge that someone is there for her.

Wao! Typical 90's rytham which has lost somewhere since yelling and screaming has taken over the beautiful music we used to create and listen.
80's and 90's songs have no comparison and she has sung this so beautifully one can listen and watch over and over again. Thanks for posting

This should have been as big a hit as Madonna's "Vogue", since they were written around the exact same time. Why didn't I hear this on the radio -- then and now?

It got some Canadian FM Adult radio play, in the era when Madonna and Phil Collins ruled and Grunge was taking over.
