Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is to love, love, love him
Just to see him smile
Makes my life worthwhile
To know, know, know him
Is to love, love, love him
And I do
I'll bring love to him
Everyone says there'll come a day
When I'll walk alongside of him
Yes, just to know him
Is to love love love him
And I do
Why can't he see
How blind can he be?
Someday he will see
That he was meant for me, oh
To know, know, know him
Is to love love love him
Just to see him smile
Makes my life worthwhile
To know, know, know him
Is to love love love him
And I do
The lyrics of Emmylou Harris/Linda Ronstadt's song To Know Him Is to Love Him are a testament to how love starts and how it can grow. The song talks about how the singer's love for someone grows stronger every day as she gets to know him better. She believes that it's impossible not to love him once you know him. The first verse starts with the repeated lines "to know, know, know him, is to love, love, love him." This line simply means that once you truly know someone, you can't help but love them.
The second verse talks about how the singer is committed to being good to this person and bringing love to him. She is confident that they will end up together because they were meant to be. The line "everyone says there'll come a day when I'll walk alongside of him" suggests that people around them recognize that they are destined for each other.
The bridge of the song talks about how the person the singer loves is not aware of her feelings. The lines "why can't he see how blind can he be" suggests that he is oblivious to her love for him. However, the singer is confident that someday he will realize that he was meant to be with her.
