Ain't Loved You Long Enough
Jennifer Rush Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Always one step out of reach
A revelation made me stop
'Cause I ain't loved you long enough
As I look into your eyes
See our lives go crashing by
I shed a tear for the time we've lost
All my life I wanna cherish every moment
Of my life with you
So when my time has come
And the light it calls me home
I'll say to God "leave me here on earth"
'Cause I ain't loved you long enough
All my live I wanna cherish every moment
Of my life with you
I was chasing broken dreams
Always one step out of reach
A revelation made me stop
I ain't loved you long enough
As I look into your eyes
See our lives go crashing by
I shed a tear for times we've lost
'Cause I ain't loved you long enough
So when my time has come
And the light it calls me home
I'll say to God "leave me here on earth"
'Cause I ain't loved him long enough
Never loved someone so much
But I ain't loved you long enough.

She sheds a tear for the times they've lost and wishes she had loved her partner for longer. The chorus repeats the same lines, emphasizing the importance of cherishing every moment with her partner.

It's a reminder that we shouldn't take our loved ones for granted and that we should make every moment count. The lyrics are simple yet powerful, and Jennifer Rush's soulful voice adds to the emotional impact of the song.

Plácido Domingo]
Nothing lived, nothing grew till I loved you
Every sky ever gray, never blue
You were my friend, good friend
And often, I would wonder
Could the one to save me possibly be you?
[Dionne Warwick]
I was lost, I was blind till I loved you
Wouldn't see, couldn't find someone new, someone new
You were my friend, my dear friend
I held you close to my heart
But I never knew my soul could break in two
[Domingo and Warwick]
Until that certain moment when I loved you
[Plácido Domingo]
Not I ever entered my room
When my room was without you
[Dionne Warwick]
My love never came into bloom
'til each thought was about you
[Plácido Domingo] (Dionne Warwick is Adlibbing here)
Not a bird in the spring, 'til I loved you
Not a dream or a prayer could come true
Until that curtain lifted, parted, drifted from you
Until that certain moment when I loved you
[Plácido Domingo] (Warwick is, again, adlibbing)
Until that certain moment
Certain moment
[Domingo and Warwick]
When I loved you
When I loved you
[Plácido Domingo]
Nothing lived, nothing grew till I loved you
[Dionne Warwick]
Every sky ever gray, never blue
(Saxophone Solo and fade out)

Magnificent, enthralling, mesmerizing and enrapturing song and a perfect duet in harmony of voices that is embellished in my memory. There are not many talents and glorious voices we can come across nowadays in the 21st century.
