Dayne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When there's clouds hangin' in the sky
And they're just not lettin' any light in
And you feel like you'd like to give in
Don't you give up so soon
What you need is a friend to count on
What you got baby you got someone
And won't let it fall on you
I'll see you through
I'll cover you
With a love so deep and warm and true
I will be there, oh
Honey, I'll be your shelter
I'll be the one to take you through the night
Whenever you need shelter
I'll make everything alright, make everything alright, yeah
Na, na, na-na-na-na
Na, na, na-na-na-na
Na, na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na
I got arms strong enough to hold you
Get you through anything you go through
Anything that you need, you know
It's only a touch away
When your heart needs a heart beside it
Should be mine that's it's keepin' time with
'Cause I got so much love inside
It beats for you every day
I'll be the one
To give you love
When it seems like there's just not enough
Mine will be there, oh
Honey I'll be your shelter
I'll be the one to take you through the night
Whenever you need shelter
I'll make everything alright, make everything alright, yeah
Na, na, na-na-na-na
Na, na, na-na-na-na
Na, na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na
Na, na, na-na-na-na
Na, na, na-na-na-na
Na, na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na
I'll be your shelter, be your shelter, baby
I'll see you through
I'll cover you
With a love so deep and warm and true
Mine will be there, oh
Honey, I'll be your shelter
I'll be the one to take you through the night
Whenever you need shelter
I'll make everything alright, make everything alright
And I'll be your shelter
I'll be the one to take you through the night
Whenever you need shelter
I'll make everything alright, make everything alright, yeah
Na, na, na-na-na-na (na-na-na)

In Dayne's "I'll be there," the lyrics speak of being a supportive friend or lover during tough times. The song starts with describing moments of gloom and darkness when someone might want to give up. However, the singer comes to offer a helping hand and support to their loved one. The lyrics assure the listener that they got someone with whom they can count on and who will be there when the rain is falling. The chorus repeats that the singer will be the shelter and one who will make everything alright.
The song's verses highlight that the singer has strong arms to hold and support their lover. They offer an assurance that they can get their lover through anything they go through, and they have so much love that beats for them every day. The bridge and the ending further repeat the message that the singer will be their lover's shelter and support. The na-na-na part of the song acts as a simple and catchy tune that would become an earworm for the listeners.
The entire song tells a sweet romantic message about how important it is to support each other through the hard times. Especially when someone doesn't have anyone else to count on, having someone to be with can be a significant source of comfort. The song is a great reminder to be there for our loved ones and to offer a shoulder to cry on when things get rough.

@tjmurray6549
I am-Taylor Dayne had some super awesome songs in late 1980's/early 1990's and this one is one her very best! Reminds me of one of my very best female friends named Jaime Rowe-a very caring and best female friend to me for 23+ years!
@yeahnaloveit4569
Still feel it and still a bloody good song
@robertmorse2296
One of the most underrated voices of this era
@mantelmann13
One of the most annoying and skull piercing voices. Besides that your comment is absolutely wrong. Two Grammy nominations, several other awards and 75 million (!!!!!) records sold. HOW can you say that's underrated? Are you out of your mind?
@CaraDulceyTanMala48
As a morbidly shy 4th grader in 1990, I'd go home and use my hairbrush microphone to belt out Taylor Dayne as I watched her videos on VH1. I wanted her and Billy Idol to be my parents.

God, that's preciously funny.
