You Give Me Love
Faith Hill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then you ask me behind tears of doubt
Just what do I see in you
Please don't cry
I know sometimes it seems we barely get by
But you don't see how much you do
To get me through
And I need a friend to hold
You give me love
You give me love
And when my hope is gone
And I feel I can't go on
You pick me up
You give me love
You give me love
I apologize
If I never told you what you are in my eyes
Oh baby, let me tell you now
Every day
Looks sweeter knowing you'll be there in every way
Now how can you say that's not enough
'Cause when the world is cold
And I need a friend to hold
You give me love
You give me love
And when my hope is gone
And it feels I can't go on
You pick me up
You give me love
You give me
Everything my heart desires
Morning sun and midnight fires
Someone there to share my dreams
With you I have everything
When the world is cold
And I need a friend to hold
You give me love
You give me love
And when my hope is gone
And I feel I can't go on
You pick me up
You give me love
You give me love
Yeah, when my world is cold
And I need a friend to hold me
You give me love
You give me love
And when my hope is gone
And I feel I can't go on
You pick me up
You give me love
The song You Give Me Love by Faith Hill is a powerful tribute to the love and support that one person can provide another. The lyrics speak to the doubts and insecurities that people feel, and how having someone there to offer love and encouragement can make all the difference in the world. The singer addresses her partner, who is feeling unsure about their relationship and what she sees in him. She reassures him that he is everything she could ever want or need, and that his love gives her the strength to face life's challenges.
The chorus repeats the refrain "You give me love," driving home the importance of love as a sustaining force in our lives. The verses describe how the singer's partner helps her through hard times, holding her when she needs comfort and lifting her up when she is feeling low. She acknowledges that sometimes life is hard, but with her partner by her side, she knows that she can overcome any obstacle.
The third verse is perhaps the most powerful, as it enumerates all the things that the singer's partner provides for her. These include not just material possessions, but also intangible things like support, understanding, and shared dreams. The message of the song is clear: when we have someone who loves us in our lives, we have everything we need to face whatever comes our way.

You turn around
You suddenly shift your focus
Then you ask me behind tears of doubt
You express your uncertainties with tears
Just what do I see in you
You question the reasons for my love
Please don't cry
Don't be sad
I know sometimes it seems we barely get by
I acknowledge that things can be tough
But you don't see how much you do
You underestimate your own positive influence on me
To get me through
To help me endure tough times
When the world is cold
During difficult or harsh times
And I need a friend to hold
When I require someone to comfort me
You give me love
You provide me with affection
And when my hope is gone
Lost all hope and optimism

You provide me with
Everything my heart desires
Everything I yearn for and wish to have
Morning sun and midnight fires
The warmth and comfort of both day and night
Someone there to share my dreams
Someone who joins me in pursuing my aspirations
With you I have everything
With you, I don't need anything else
Yeah, when my world is cold
Yes, during harsh times
And I need a friend to hold me
When I require someone to comfort me
You give me love
You provide me with affection
You give me love
You show me kindness and care
And when my hope is gone
When I'm depleted of hope
