I See Love
Ce Ce Peniston Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dwindling untamed
Lovers passing in the night
With many words unsaid
Come hold me baby
Take me in your arms
We can share the chills of life
Our love will keep us warm
Lovin' together, love so unreal
I'll leave you never, I know what I feel
CHORUS:
I see love forever in your eyes, believe,
To us found, my destiny so unreal
I would wish upon a star
But the stars aren't high enough
To show my dreams for me and you
No, a star won't be enough
Come hold me baby
You're my fantasy come true
We can share the chills of life
Our love will keep us warm
Lovin' together, love so unreal
I'll leave you never, I know what I feel

Line by Line Meaning
I have seen a love so true
I have witnessed a love that is authentic and genuine
Dwindling untamed
But, that kind of love is rare and difficult to find or maintain
Lovers passing in the night
Many couples just pass each other by without finding true love and connection
With many words unsaid
Often, people don't express their feelings and thoughts honestly and openly in relationships
Come hold me baby
I need you to embrace me
Take me in your arms
I long to feel your warmth and closeness
We can share the chills of life
We can face the difficult and challenging parts of life together
Our love will keep us warm
The strength of our love will comfort and protect us
Lovin' together, love so unreal
Our love is so strong and amazing that it feels unreal sometimes
I'll leave you never, I know what I feel
I will never leave you because I am certain of my love for you
I see love forever in your eyes, believe,
Your eyes reveal an eternal and unwavering love, and I trust in it completely
To us found, my destiny so unreal
I feel like my destiny has been fulfilled by finding such an incredible love with you
I would wish upon a star
I would make a wish if I thought it could come true
But the stars aren't high enough
Unfortunately, even the highest and most distant stars can't grant the depth and magnitude of my wishes for us
To show my dreams for me and you
My hopes and dreams for our future together are too vast and powerful to be shown by something as small as a star
No, a star won't be enough
My love and desires for our relationship far exceed anything that can be granted by a wishful star
You're my fantasy come true
You are everything I've ever desired and more
