Curtis Stigers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Something to make my heart beat the faster
What did I long for? I never really knew
Finding your love I've found my adventure
Touching your hand, my heart beats the faster
All that I want in all of this world is you
You are the promised kiss of springtime
You are the breathless hush of evening
That trembles on the brink of a lovely song
You are the angel glow that lights a star
The dearest things I know are what you are
Some day my happy arms will hold you
And some day I'll know that moment divine
When all the things you are, are mine!
You are the angel glow that lights a star
The dearest things I know are what you are
Some day my happy arms will hold you
And some day I'll know that moment divine
When all the things you are, are mine!
The Curtis Stigers song "All The Things You Are" is a beautiful love song that explores the idea of finding one's true love and the ways in which that love brings excitement, adventure and beauty to life. The song opens with the line, "Time and again I've longed for adventure, something to make my heart beat faster," which sets the tone for the songwriter's quest for something more in life. The songwriter then goes on to describe how he never really knew what he was looking for until he found his love, and how being with this person is the greatest adventure of all.
The second verse of the song dives deeper into the metaphor of finding true love as being like the promise of springtime after a long, lonely winter. The songwriter describes their love as a breathless hush of evening that trembles on the brink of a lovely song, and compares their partner to an angelic glow that lights a star. The final lines of the song express the joy and anticipation that the songwriter feels as they look forward to the day when they can hold their love in their happy arms and know that all the things they are will be theirs.
Overall, "All The Things You Are" is a beautiful and poetic love song that captures the excitement, beauty and wonder of finding one's true love. It's a reminder that love is the greatest adventure of all, and that when we find it, we find ourselves in ways we never knew were possible.

Time and again I've longed for adventure
I have been searching for excitement and the unknown repeatedly
Something to make my heart beat the faster
Something that will give me a thrill or excitement and leave me breathless

I have been lost and without direction when it comes to searching for what I really want
Finding your love I've found my adventure
When I found the person I love, they became my adventure in life
Touching your hand, my heart beats the faster
Every touch from you makes my heart skip a beat with excitement

You are the only thing in the world that I want, and nothing else matters if I have you
You are the promised kiss of springtime
You are the hope that comes with every new beginning, the promise of good things to come

And some day I'll know that moment divine
I will finally know that divine moment of pure love and joy when I am with you
When all the things you are, are mine!
When I have you and all the things that you are, my life will be complete and whole
