Caterina Valente Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Above the world, we're not too proud
To cling together; we're strong
As long as we're together
Alone together, the blinding rain
The starless night were not in vain
For we're together, and what is there
Our love is as deep as the sea
Our love is as great as a love can be
And we can weather the great unknown
If we're alone together
These lyrics from Caterina Valente's song "Alone Together" speak about the beauty and strength of being in a relationship that is based on true connection and love. The two people in the song find themselves in the midst of a crowd, but together, they are able to rise above the noise and distractions. They are not too proud to cling to each other and depend on their bond to make them strong.
The lyrics then move on to describe a more trying time, when the couple is facing difficult circumstances like blinding rain and a starless night. However, they realize that as long as they are together, they have nothing to fear. Their love is compared to the depth of the sea and the greatness of a love that can withstand any obstacle. They are confident that they can weather any unknown future if they stay together.
Overall, the song "Alone Together" is a beautiful tribute to the strength of true love and the power of two people who are truly committed to each other. It reminds us that even in the midst of challenges and difficult times, the love we share can give us the strength and courage to face anything.

One of those singers with a beautiful crisp and lovely voice - like Karen Carpenter and Dutch singer Willeke Alberti. But a few with such a voice and so gifted.
Thanks for sharing!🙂
