All The Way
Celine Dion (with Frank Sinatra) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's no good unless he loves you, all the way
Happy to be near you
When you need someone to cheer you, all the way
Taller than the tallest tree is
That's how it's got to feel
Deeper than the deep blue sea is
When somebody needs you (when somebody needs you)
It's no good unless he needs you (it's no good unless she needs you), all the way
Through the good or lean years
And for all the in between years, come what may (come what may)
Who know where the road will lead us
Only a fool would say (only a fool would say)
But if you'll let me love you
It's for sure I'm gonna love you, all the way, all the way
Taller than the tallest tree is
That's how it's got to feel
Deeper than the deep blue sea is
That's how deep it goes, if it's real
And when somebody needs you (when somebody needs you)
It's no good unless she needs you, all the way
Through the good or lean years
And for all the in between years, come what may (come what may)
Who know where the road will lead us
Only a fool would say
But if you'll let me love you
It's for sure I'm gonna love you, all the way, all the way
I'm gonna love you all the way

This song will always remind me of my mom, she would drive me to school as a kid & she would play this song & she would sing her part & I would sing his part, I was about 5 or 6 at that time, and it is 2021 & I am 16 now & I finally found this song and played it while I drove my mom to work & we both started crying, I love this song so much it means so much to me.
