When You Love A Woman
Journey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I said that I'd never fall again
Within myself I was wrong
My searching ain't over and over
I know that
When you love a woman
You see your world inside her eyes
(Well) You know she's standing by your side
A joy that lasts forever
There's a band of gold that shines
Waiting somewhere, oh, yeah
If I can't believe that someone is true
To fall in love is so hard to do
I hope and pray tonight
Somewhere you're thinking of me girl
Yes I know, I know that
It's enough to make you cry
When you see her walking by
And you look into her eyes
When you love a woman
When you love, love, love, love
When you love a woman
You see your world inside her eyes
In the song "When You Love A Woman" by Journey, the singer reflects on his past mistakes when it comes to love, and how he never thought he would fall for someone again. However, he realizes that he was wrong and that his search for true love is ongoing. He then goes on to describe how loving a woman can change your entire world, as you begin to see everything through her eyes. When you truly love someone, you know that they will always be by your side, and that the joy you feel in that love will last forever, like a shining "band of gold" waiting for you somewhere.
The song speaks to the universal experience of falling in love, and the deep emotional connection that comes with it. The lyrics paint a picture of vulnerability, hope, and deep longing for connection with another person. The image of seeing your world through that person's eyes is particularly powerful, as it highlights the way in which love can change the way we see and experience the world around us.

I lost my wife November 13th, 2022... We danced to this song every time it came on. She was and always will be the love of my life. She wasn't "one in a million", she was "once in a lifetime", and every time I looked into her eyes, I saw my whole world.

Sorry you lost your wife. But I understand how you both felt about this song. I would dance to it with my ex and if he was not around I would dance around the house to it by myself. Steve has the most wonderful voice even still.
