All the Things You Are
J. Kern Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Time and again I've longed for adventure
Something to make my heart beat the faster
What did I long for? I never really knew
Finding your love I've found my adventure
Touching your hand, my heart beats the faster
All that I want in all of this world is you

[Chorus:]

You are the promised kiss of springtime
That makes the lonely winter seem long
You are the breathless hush of evening
That trembles on the brink of a lovely song
You are the angel glow that lights a star
The dearest things I know are what you are
Some day my happy arms will hold you

And some day I'll know that moment divine
When all the things you are, are mine
