Any Way at All
Donna Summer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooo
Hey baby
Ooo

We never know
Where the winds of love will carry
Our hearts unfold
Into the hands of time

Nothing will ever change
This love we share
No matter what it takes
I will be there

When the sun goes high
You pray for clouds to break
Reach up to the sky and pray for it to rain
When the times get hard you rely on your faith
We'll be together
If there's any way at all
It there's any way at all

Don't be afraid
'Cause we're in this love together
We'll ride the waves
'Til we reach the other side

Your love is life to me
None can compare
Not as I live and breath
I will be there

When the sun goes high
You pray for clouds to break
Reach up to the sky and pray for it to rain
When the times get hard you rely on your faith
You know that we'll be together
If there's any way at all
(If there's any way)
If there's any way at all

If there's any way at all
We'll be together baby
If there's any way at all
We'll be together forever and ever

Reach up to the sky and pray for it to rain
(Oh, baby)
When the times get hard you rely on your faith
We'll be together
If there's any way at all
(If there's any way)




If there's any way at all
Ooo

Most people do not realize Donna Summer vocal abilities,range and versatility. Her voice was naturally powerful and she can sing the high and difficult notes almost effortless. She was far more than a disco Queen. One of the greatest singers of all time..R.I.P Queen

George Long

I AGREE ONE HUNDRED PERCENT!!!!! I love Donna and have since 1978's MacArthur Park.

She KILLED it! Such power, control and depth in her amazing tone. No one sings like Donna ... RIP to a once in a lifetime voice.

And what she is and was daily adds to what she availed. That is the power of God and belief.

Donna was so underrated as a vocalist and hasn’t received the credit she’s deserved. Her voice has transcended far beyond disco and should be recognized along with the other greats’.
