All I Want Is You
Jennifer Rush Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A thousand faces, a thousand shores
Thousands of miles apart
So many places, too many shores
Still I hear the sound of your heart beating
Now hear my pleading

Oh, Oh all I want is you
Oh, Oh all I want is you
All I want is you

Where did you come from, where do I go
When I fall into you
It's out of the darkness, out of control
All that I thought was true
Is turning, now my love is burning

Oh, Oh all I want is you




Oh, Oh all I want is you
All I want is you....
