To Be With You
David Archuleta Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been alone so many nights now
And I've been waitin' for the stars to fall
I keep holdin' out for what I don't know
To be with you, just to be with you

So here I am staring at the moon tonight
Wondering how you look in this light
Maybe you're somewhere thinkin' about me too
To be with you, there's nothing I wouldn't do

And I can't imagine two worlds spinnin' apart
Come together eventually..

And when we finally meet, I'll know it's right
I'll be at the end of my restless road
But this journey, it was worth the fight
To be with you, just to be...

Holding you for the very first time, never letting go
What I wouldn't give to feel that way...
Ooohh...

Oh, to be with you...

Oh, and I can't imagine two worlds spinnin' apart
Come together eventually

And when you're standin' here in front of me
That's when I know that God does exist
'Cause He will have answered every single prayer




To be with you, just to be with you, yeah
You...

I have been waiting patiently for something extraordinary to happen


I keep holdin' out for what I don't know
I am staying hopeful, expecting something extraordinary to happen although I do not know what it is exactly


To be with you, just to be with you
All I desire is to be around you


So here I am staring at the moon tonight
Currently, I am gazing at the moon this night

It is possible that you could be thinking of me wherever you are

At that moment, I would know God does exist


'Cause He will have answered every single prayer
I would know God has answered my every prayer


To be with you, just to be with you, yeah
This would be the utmost relief, to just be with you


You...
My attention is geared towards only you
