Everywhere
Gerald Wilson And His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I need my love to be here
Here, making each day of the year
Changing my life with a wave of her hand
Nobody can deny that there's something there
There, running my hands through her hair
Both of us thinking how good it can be
[Chorus: x2]
I want her everywhere
And if she's beside me I know I need never care
But to love her is to need her everywhere
Knowing that love is to share
Each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes and hoping I'm always there
I will be there
And everywhere
Here, there and everywhere
The lyrics to "Everywhere" by Gerald Wilson and His Orchestra speak to the deep emotional connection one person has with another. The song begins with the singer acknowledging that to lead a better life, they need their love to be present. They then describe the way in which their love makes them feel - alive and constantly changing. The line "changing my life with a wave of her hand" suggests that the presence of their love has a transformative effect on the singer's life.
Throughout the song, the singer goes on to describe how all-consuming their love is - they want their partner to be with them everywhere they go, and to love them is to need them everywhere. The chorus repeats this sentiment twice, emphasizing the importance of the singer's love. The bridge of the song changes slightly but continues the theme of wanting to be with their partner at all times. The final lines, "I will be there, and everywhere, here, there and everywhere" suggest a level of commitment and devotion that goes beyond just physical presence - the singer promises to always be there for their partner, in every way possible.
This song is a classic example of a love song that speaks to the feeling of total devotion one person can have for another. The repetition of the word "everywhere" throughout the song emphasizes the all-encompassing nature of the love described in the lyrics. Additionally, the references to physical touch - running hands through hair, watching her eyes - add a tactile element to the song that helps to emphasize the intensity of the singer's feelings.
