All The Way
Denis Solee Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When somebody loves you
It's no good unless he loves you, all the way
Happy to be near you
When you need someone to cheer you, all the way

Taller than the tallest tree is
That's how it's got to feel
Deeper than the deep blue see is

That's how deep it goes, if its real

When somebody needs you
It's no good unless he needs you, all the way
Through the good or lean years
And for all the in between years, come what may

Who know where the road will lead us
Only a fool would say
But if you'll let me love you

It's for sure I'm gonna love you, all the way
All the way

Overall Meaning

The song "All The Way" by Denis Solee is a romantic ballad that expresses the depth and sincerity of love. The lyrics emphasize the importance of genuine love, where it's not just about being with someone, but also being there for them through thick and thin. The singer stresses that being loved halfway is not enough if it's not all the way. To be fully happy in a relationship, it is important that both people love each other completely.

In the second stanza, the depth of the love is more fully expressed, as the singer describes the intensity of the feeling. The love felt is compared to the height of the tallest tree, and the depth of the deep blue sea. These lines suggest that true love is boundless and knows no limits. The third verse reiterates that it's not enough to be with someone just some of the time, but that they need to be there for each other all the way, through good times and bad.

The final verse is about the uncertain future and where it may take them, but the singer promises that if the person they love allows them, they will love them all the way. The song is a beautiful reminder of the importance of true, complete, and unconditional love.
