There Will Always be A Place
Curtis Stigers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In my heart
No matter what I do
There will always be a place in my heart
In my heart
There's a place for you
The roads that we travel
Some of them near
We each go our own way
I cling to the past
While you reach for the stars
Remember the old days
Remember the crazy ways we used to be
We were outcasts in the shadows
Me reaching for you
You reaching for me
There will always be a place in my arms
In my arms
Yeah you know it's true
There will always be a place in my heart
In my heart
There's a place for you
Remember winter
It made you cry
Remember summer
That lullabye
I will remember
In the days to come
You standing in the wilderness
Laughing in the sun
So wherever you may wander
Wherever your restless heart decides to go
No matter the distance
Wherever you are
I want you to know
There will always be a place in my heart
In my heart
No matter what you do
There will always be a place in my heart
In my heart
There's a place for you
Oh in my heart there's a place for you
Oh in my heart there's a place for you
Curtis Stigers's song "There Will Always be A Place" is a touching expression of an unconditional love that never fades away. The song talks about the eternal and enduring bond that two people share, even when they are separated by distance and time. The lyrics suggest that the love that one has for another, will always be there, no matter what life brings their way, and no matter what they may do or where they may go. The song is about acknowledging the past, cherishing the present, and embraching the future.
The opening lines "There will always be a place in my heart, in my heart, no matter what I do" suggest that the singer is constantly thinking of the person they love, and that this love is so deep, it can never be erased from their heart. The following line, "there's a place for you," is a reassurance that this love is not one-sided, and that the other person holds a special place in the singer's life too. The song continues with reminiscing about the past, and how things used to be, with the line "remember the old days, remember the crazy ways we used to be."
The second verse talks about the good and bad times that the two have shared, with lines like "remember winter, it made you cry, remember summer, that lullabye." The singer acknowledges that they will always cherish these memories, and that they will stay with them even in the days to come. The lyrics "wherever you may wander, wherever your restless heart decides to go," suggests that the singer accepts and respects that the other person may need to explore the world, but they will always be there for them. The final lines, "oh in my heart there's a place for you" drives home the message that the love the two share is unending and eternal.
