Now That I Found You
Jennifer Rush Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I believe it now
Without ever knowing for sure
Never before until now
That a woman like me can find understanding
I can walk alone, proud to be strong
Here's my life, my soul
Everytime you take my hand
My heart is in it
Until I found you
Never knew what it meant to belong
You open your arms and love unfolds
I'm forever yours
I stand before you now
Gazing at tenderness
Hearing the sound of your voice
I am defenceless
How can a woman like me find understanding
Don't want to walk alone, no
I surrender
Now that I found you
Here's my life, my soul
Everytime you take my hand
My heart is in it
Until I found you
Never knew what it means to find love
And where I can cross over that border
To forever, we're already there
Now that I found you
Here's my life, my soul
Everytime you take my hand
Ooh my heart is in it
Until I found you...
The lyrics of Jennifer Rush's "Now That I Found You" can be interpreted as a love song about the singer's newfound understanding, love, and belonging through their relationship with a partner.

The line "Without ever knowing for sure / Never before until now" implies that the singer was uncertain about whether they would ever find true love or belonging before they met their partner.

The phrase "Everytime you take my hand / My heart is in it" reinforces the idea that the singer's relationship is a powerful force in their life. The final line, "To forever, we're already there," reflects an optimism in the singer's view of their future with their partner.
Overall, "Now That I Found You" is a romantic song about the transformative power of love in a person's life.

So amazing somehow
I am filled with wonder, though I can't explain why
I believe it now
A feeling of certainty has settled in me
Without ever knowing for sure
I never knew what I was missing until now
Never before until now
I have never experienced this feeling of fulfillment until now
That a woman like me can find understanding
I am amazed that I, as a woman, can be truly understood
I can walk alone, proud to be strong
I am capable of being independent and strong, but now see the value of partnership
But now that I found you
After finding you, my perspective has completely changed
Here's my life, my soul
I offer my entire being to you
Everytime you take my hand
Your touch brings immense joy and comfort to me
My heart is in it
I am fully invested in our relationship
Until I found you
Before meeting you, I had never experienced a true connection
Never knew what it meant to belong
I had never felt a sense of belonging before being with you
You open your arms and love unfolds
You welcome me with open arms and love naturally blossoms between us
I'm forever yours
I am committed to you for eternity
I stand before you now
I am in your presence, overwhelmed by emotion
Gazing at tenderness
I am looking at you kindly, with affection
Hearing the sound of your voice
Your voice brings me comfort and soothing reassurance
I am defenceless
In your presence, I have no need to guard myself; I am vulnerable and open
Don't want to walk alone, no
I desire companionship and connection with another person
I surrender
I let go and submit to the love and care you offer
Never knew what it means to find love
Before you, I had never truly experienced the feeling of love
And where I can cross over that border
You have shown me a new realm of emotion and experience
To forever, we're already there
I am confident that our love will last endlessly
Ooh my heart is in it
I am fully invested in our relationship and feel it deeply in my heart

I “missed” Jennifer in her prime—in fact, I only discovered her 3 months ago. I am a big fan of Celine and only discovered Jennifer because I came across Celine’s cover of Power of Love including Jennifer. I couldn’t believe my ears.
I’m 85 and have heard them all, from Ginger Rogers to Edith Piaf to Vera Lynn. Then Diana Ross, Aretha Franklin, Barbara Streisand, Dusty Springfield, Tammy Wynette, and Bonnie Tyler. Add Gloria Gaynor, Connie Francis, Laura Branigan, Linda Ronstadt, Rita Coolidge, Celine, Mariah, and Whitney and you have the lineup of the greats right up to Adele and Susan Boyle.
But, Jennifer Rush has the all-around best female voice I have ever heard. Her operatic training adds an unmatched vibrato containing depth and texture. And she sings everything: opera, pop, rock, and ballads in English, Spanish, German, and Hungarian.
She also studied piano and violin at Juilliard. She has written or co-written the lyrics and music for many of her songs, done duets with Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras, Elton John, and Brian May—sorry—Sir Brian May, Michael Bolton, and performed live all over the world—but not in America, except in March and April 1986 on the Carson show and the Dick Clark Show; that’s it.
Why is she the best? Effortless high range: (look at Celine’s cover with Jennifer singing “Power of Love” to see the ease with which Jennifer handles the highest notes.) Listen to “Who Wants to Live Forever” (with or without Brian—Sir Brian—May) as well as “Stronghold”, “Another Way”, “Hero of a Fool”, “I Come Undone”, “Now That It’s Over”, and many more.
With her operatic training (her father, Maurice Stern (Mauro Lampi) and step-mother Rita Loving), she developed a superior vibrato, appropriate body language, and perfect interpretation, and because she wrote or co-wrote most of her songs, she injects them with a personal load of musical endorphins that hit your ears and your heart at the same time.
Yes. If Jennifer had decided to live her life in the US, she would still be in Las Vegas or on tour.
