As
Chris Standring Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

As around the sun the earth knows she's revolving
And the rosebuds know to bloom in early may
Just as hate knows love's the cure
You can rest your mind assure
That I'll be loving you always

As now can't reveal the mystery of tomorrow
But in passing will grow older every day
Just as all that's born is new
You know what I say is true
That I'll be loving you always

(Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky)
Always
(Until the ocean covers every mountain high)
Always
(Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea)
Always
(Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream)

Did you know that true love asks for nothing
No no her acceptance is the way we pay
Did you know that life has given love a guarantee
To last through forever and another day

Just as time knew to move on since the beginning
And the seasons know exactly when to change
Just as kindness knows no shame
Know through all your joy and pain
That I'll be loving you always

As today I know I'm living
But tomorrow could make me the past
But that I mustn't fear
For I'll know deep in my mind
The love of me I've left behind
'Cause I'll be loving you always

(Until the day is night and night becomes the day)
Always
(Until the trees and seas just up and fly away)
Always
(Until the day that eight times eight times eight is four)
Always
(Until the day that is the day that are no more)
Did you know you're loved by somebody
(Until the day the earth starts turnin' right to left)
Always
(Until the earth just for the sun denies itself)
I'll be lovin' you forever
(Until dear mother nature says her work is through)
Always
(Until the day that you are me and I am you)
Always
(Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky
Until the ocean severs every mountain high)
Always mm mm

We all know sometimes life hates and troubles
Can make you wish you were born in another time and space
But you can bet your lifetimes that and twice it's double
That God knew exactly where he wanted you to be placed
So make sure when you say you're in it, but not of it
You're not helpin' to make this earth
A place sometimes called hell
Change your words into truths
And then change that truth into love
And maybe our children's grandchildren




And their great grandchildren will tell
I'll be loving you until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky

Overall Meaning

The central theme of the song "As" revolves around love being an eternal force that transcends space and time, and that the singer will always love the person that he addresses in the song. The opening lines “As around the sun the earth knows she's revolving, And the rosebuds know to bloom in early may” utilize natural phenomena to illustrate the permanence of love. The singer then proceeds to use other examples to reinforce the point, including the passing of time and changing of seasons. The lyrics also make it clear that true love is something that requires no reciprocation and should be given freely.


The last few lines of the song play out as a message to the listener to be conscious of their actions and words, as they could affect the planet we call home. The idea is to transform truth into love, a force that brings people and the world together. The song suggests that if we can do this, future generations will look back on us and remember us as a people who cared for one another and tried to make the world a better place.
