Dave Grusin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Watching trains go by.
All of my life,
Lying on the sand watching seabirds fly.
Wishing there would be
Someone waiting home for me.
Something's telling me it might be you It's telling me it might be you
All of my life...
Looking back as lovers go walking past
All of my life,
Wondering how they met and what makes it last.
If I found the place,
Would I recognize the face?
Something's telling me it might be you.
Yeah, it's telling me it might be you.
So many quiet walks to take
So many dreams to wake
And we've so much love to make
I think we're gonna need some time
Maybe all we need is time
And it's telling me it might be you
All of my life
I've been saving love songs and lullabies
And there's so much more
No one's ever heard before
Something's telling me it might be you
And I'm feeling it'll just be you
All of my life
It's you
It's you
I've been waiting for all of my life
(Maybe) It's you (It's you)
(Maybe) It's you (It's you)
I've been waiting for all of my life
(Maybe) It's you (It's you)
(Maybe) It's you (It's you)
I've been waiting for all of my life
(Maybe) It's you (It's you)
(Maybe) It's you (It's you)
I've been waiting for all of my life
The lyrics to Dave Grusin & The London Symphony Orchestra’s song “It Might Be You” speak of a person who has been waiting all their life for someone to come home to, even going as far as watching trains pass by and imagining the perfect place and face for their love. The person is hopeful that the one they have been waiting for might just be the one walking past them or someone they have yet to meet. The person is also hopeful of creating new memories and experiences with this new-found love. The song captures the essence of ongoing hope for true love and the patience that comes with waiting for it.
The line, “I’ve been saving love songs and lullabies / And there’s so much more / No one’s ever heard before,” displays the person's hope to share their unwritten love story with their significant other, and how much they are looking forward to exploring and building a life with them. The overall message of the song is all about hope and the belief that the one who will make their life complete might just be around the corner, or they just need some time to find them.

Time, I've been passing time
I have spent my time idly and without purpose
Watching trains go by.
Observing locomotives and their carriages in motion
All of my life,
Lying on the sand watching seabirds fly.
Throughout my life, reclining on the beach and observing seagulls in flight
Wishing there would be
Someone waiting home for me.
Desiring for there to be an individual present at my domicile anticipating my return
Something's telling me it might be you
It's telling me it might be you
All of my life...
I am receiving an indication that it is plausible that you are the individual I have been waiting for. This indication has persisted throughout my life...
Looking back as lovers go walking past
All of my life,
Wondering how they met and what makes it last.
As lovers progress beside me, passing by, contemplating how they were introduced and what sustains their commitment
If I found the place,
Would I recognize the face?
If I were to identify the location, would I be able to identify the person?
Something's telling me it might be you.
Yeah, it's telling me it might be you.
This intuition I'm experiencing is implying that you're the individual I'm awaiting, is persistent and likely to be true
So many quiet walks to take
So many dreams to wake
And we've so much love to make
There are countless serene strolls available to us, many aspirations to fulfill and an abundance of affection to share
I think we're gonna need some time
Maybe all we need is time
And it's telling me it might be you
All of my life
I believe that we will require time to validate if you are the individual I anticipate. Perhaps time alone will reveal the truth. This feeling persists throughout my life
I've been saving love songs and lullabies
And there's so much more
No one's ever heard before
I have been reserving songs of love and comforting tunes for a special someone. There is an abundance of additional pieces that no one has ever heard
Something's telling me it might be you
Yeah, it's telling me it must be you
And I'm feeling it'll just be you
All of my life
It's you
It's you
I've been waiting for all of my life
There is a persistent intuition that you are the one I have been waiting for, in fact, it seems like you must be the one. This feeling will last throughout my entire existence. It is definitely you, I've been yearning for all this time
(Maybe) It's you (It's you)
(Maybe) It's you (It's you)
I've been waiting for all of my life
(Perhaps) you're the one. Yes, you're the one. I have eagerly awaited your arrival throughout my lifetime.
(Maybe) It's you (It's you)
(Maybe) It's you (It's you)
I've been waiting for all of my life
