All I do the whole night through
Charly Garcia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All I do the whole night through
Is dream of you.
With the dawn I still go on
Dreamin' of you.

You're every thought, you're everything,
You're every song I ever sing
Summer, winter, autumn, and spring.
Were there more than 24 hours a day,

They'd be spent in sweet content dreamin' away.
Sky's are gray! Sky's are blue!
Morning, noon, and night-time, too!
All I do the whole day through
Is dream of you-o-u!

It's the cat's meow!





All I do the whole day through
Is dream of You

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Charly García's song "All I do the whole night through" express the intense feelings of love and longing for someone special. The singer confesses to daydreaming about their loved one, and how they occupy their thoughts even during the day. The chorus speaks to this devotion, as the singer states that they spend their days in a reverie, pining for their love. The song expresses the inability to let go of the thought of the loved one, and how they are an ever-present part of the singer's consciousness. The lyrics draw on the natural world, demonstrating how the changing seasons move parallel with the singer's love - an eternal and everlasting force that never quite satisfies their longing.


The song is a classic love ballad and has become a defining song of the 1980s Argentine rock movement, with Charly García being among the most celebrated and respected musicians of his generation. The song's popularity lies in its catchy melody and the evocative sentiments expressed through its lyrics. The melancholic tone and the yearning for love that are prevalent throughout the song have made it a timeless classic.

¡QEPD Patricio Bisso! Murió hace un par de horas, a los 62 años, en su ciudad natal, Buenos Aires (vivió toda la vida en Brasil).

A masterpiece by Charly Garcia and Patricio Bisso that was never sufficiently valued.
