All for Love
Donna Summer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's got to be a way that I can dream
Simply close my eyes and see
The worlds I've never known
What places that my soul has been

Sometimes I need to run away and hide
And soar above the clouds and ride
I sail along so high
Till nothing's in my sky
Except the stars that fill my eyes


(Chorus)
And I will live for love
Where ever it may lead
It's written from the start
I know it's face by heart
I will live for love


I'm searching for the one who holds the key
To all this crazy life I lead
Through galaxies in time
A solitary star that joins


Sometimes I need to close my eyes and breathe
Inhale what life's been given me
A passion to ignite
A flaming heart a' flight
I close my eyes
I breathe
I'm free

(Chorus)
And I will live for love
Where ever it may lead
It's written from the start
I know it's face by heart
I will live for love

The poet must have known
A lover of his own
"Cause that is when he wrote
Everything I felt for love

And I will fight for love in life and life in love
And I will hold to things above
I'm strong enough to slay the dragon dead and there

I will live for love

I'm taller than the sky
This dream will never die
So only know that I
I will live for love

The poet must have known
A lover of his own
That is when he wrote everything I felt for love
I will ever fight




I will live for life
I will live for love

Droppin' you this line to give you peace
And to set your weary mind at ease
I know that it's rough when you're so far away
Listen to the words I have to say
Sometimes when you're gone, I don't know why
Find the simple need to sit and cry
It's not that I'm lonely, or that I'm blue
It's just that I need to be with you
Our love will last forever
Our love will last forever
Our love will last forever
Our love will last forever
When I know our love is goin' strong
And I have all I need to carry on
And my mind and body seem to understand
That for me, you are the perfect man
Our love will last forever
Our love will last forever
Our love will last forever
Our love will last forever
Our love will last forever
Our love will last forever
Our love will last forever
Our love will last forever

Perhaps you ask a Cuban about Donna Summer and no one will be able to answer you better than me. I grew up dancing to her songs, it was the first thing I danced just like Bony M. Today I listen to her and I feel like a teenager again. Her departure hurt me and even living in Naples Florida I could not meet her, but I will always carry her in my heart.

@TheRubberStudiosASMR
