All The Way
George A. Johnson Jr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
The lyrics of George A. Johnson Jr.'s song "All The Way" speaks about the importance of unconditional love in a relationship. When somebody loves you "all the way", it means that he/she loves you completely with no reservations, limitations, or conditions. The lyrics emphasize that mere proximity to a loved one is not enough, the loved one must be supported and cheered when they need it. The feeling of love should be so strong that it surpasses the height of the tallest tree and depth of the deepest sea. The lyrics suggest that love is not just a feeling, but a commitment, and if someone truly loves you, they will be there for you through all the ups and downs of life.
Furthermore, the song speaks about the uncertainty of the future but commits to being there no matter what happens. The lyrics suggest that only a foolish person would predict where life will lead them, but if someone allows the other person to love them, the love will be given wholly and completely – "all the way." Overall, the song is a beautiful expression of the depth, commitment, and loyalty that comes with true love.
