You Move Me
Cassandra Wilson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rememberin' moments
So precious and rare
The thought
Of you kissing me there

You know my secrets
You know the curve and the line
One touch
And I know you are mine

Rain falls down on me
I can hardly see
For the water in my eyes
Love comes down on me
And I can hardly breathe
For the trembling in my thighs
You move me

Rememberin' moments
So precious and rare
The thought, mm
Of you kissing me there, mm

You know my secrets
You know the curve and the line
One touch, mm, and I know you are mine

Rain falls down on me
I can hardly see
For the water in my eyes
Love comes down on me
I can hardly breathe




Oh, the trembling in my thighs
You move me

Remember the moments
So precsious and rare
The thought 
Of you kissing me there
You know my secrets 
You know the curve and the line
One touch
And I know you are mine

Rain falls down on me

For the trembling in my thighs
You move me

Remember the moments

You know the curve and the line 
One touch and I know you are mine

Rain falls down on me 
I can hardly see
For the water in my eyes
Love comes down on me
I can hardly breathe
For the trembling in my thighs 
You move me

This was my introduction to the magic that is Cassandra Wilson. Absolutely shifted my world as she taught me to appreciate my own unusually deep voice and I've been a huge fan of hers ever since.... Also, the Love Jones soundtrack is one of the best compilation albums ever as far as I'm concerned.

Heather Sutherland

Yes totally agree!

W D

Definitely!!

Creamus Jones

I agree with everything you say they don't make songs like this anymore

Phoebe Stewart

I've loved this song since the first time hearing it in spring 1997, when "Love Jones" came out. I bought the soundtrack...LOVE THIS SONG!!!

T Senegal

Transformative kisses will never be repeated, revisited or recaptured. Hold on to the love you have. Recognition of those vibrations become faint, faded and unsyncopated as time passes. EMBRACE BEING MOVED!

Heather Sutherland

Beautifully put-❤️

Tom Barbee

That is complete and whole!

S.L Awake Joy

Wow!

Karisia Mari

This song and her voice are so powerful. Listen to this daily.
