Every Little Part of Me
Julie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can you hear the echo
Footsteps down the hall
Always such lonely
As they're walking away
The man in the mirror
Looks tired and worn
Another Deja Vu day
When your heart is torn

Chorus:
I'm in this melancholy mood
That never does me any good
It gets worse when I'm tired
It's a habit I've acquired
Every little part of me
Is missing you now
Every little part of you
No matter where you are I do
This body aches to be kissing you now
Every little part of you
Deep down to the heart of you
And in the middle of the night
You should hear my spirit cry
Ohh - I - I'm still missing
Every little part of you

Remember when you told me
How pain never lasts
We can win tomorrow
By facing the pasts
How can today then
All that remains
Each and every memory
Is a heartful of pain

Chorus
I'm in this melancholy mood
That never does me any good
It gets worse when I'm tired
It's a habit I've acquired
Every little part of me
Is missing you now
Every little part of you
No matter where you are I do
This body aches to be kissing you now
Every little part of you
Deep down to the heart of you
And in the middle of the night
You should hear my spirit cry
Ohh - I - I'm still missing
Every little part of you

And when I feel the morning light
I reach for you to hold you tight
How I wish I could feel you once more
See the sun rise on your face
But deep down in my heart I know
That maybe I should let you go
But you are a hard habit to break

Every little part of me
Is missing you now
Every little part of you
No matter where you are I do
This body aches to be kissing you now
Every little part of you
Deep down to the heart of you
And in the middle of the night
You should hear my spirit cry




Ohh - I - I'm still missing
Every little part of you

Overall Meaning

Julie's song "Every Little Part of Me" is a melancholic ballad about missing someone deeply. The opening lines set the scene of loneliness with the sound of footsteps echoing down a hall. The man in the mirror looking tired and worn indicates a person struggling with their emotions, likely due to the heartache of missing someone. The chorus vividly expresses the utter desperation and longing for that person through the repetition of "every little part." The recurring lines "this body aches to be kissing you now" and "deep down to the heart of you" articulate the sheer depth of the love and the yearning for it to be answered.


In the second verse, the lyrics take a turn as the singer recalls the motivating words of the person they are missing. They describe the memory as "each and every memory is a heartful of pain," showing how even the positive memories are now tinged with sadness. The final lines of the song reveal that while the singer knows they should move on, their love for the person is too strong to let go. The song finishes with the same chorus as before, emphasizing the enormous space left behind by the absence of the loved one.


Line by Line Meaning

Can you hear the echo
Do you sense the absence created by your departure?


Footsteps down the hall
The sound of your footsteps linger in my mind


Always such lonely
My heart is filled with loneliness


As they're walking away
As you walk away from me


The man in the mirror
The reflection in the mirror - me


Looks tired and worn
I look exhausted from my anguish


Another Deja Vu day
Just like the past, another day of heartbreak


When your heart is torn
When your heart is shattered into pieces


I'm in this melancholy mood
I feel a great sense of sadness


That never does me any good
This mood is harmful and unproductive


It gets worse when I'm tired
The feeling intensifies when I'm exhausted


It's a habit I've acquired
A habit of feeling melancholic


Every little part of me
Every part of my being


Is missing you now
Longing for your presence


Every little part of you
Every aspect of your person


No matter where you are I do
Regardless of your location


This body aches to be kissing you now
My body yearns for your touch


Deep down to the heart of you
All the way to the core of your being


And in the middle of the night
During the darkest hours of the night


You should hear my spirit cry
My soul is calling out for you


Ohh - I - I'm still missing
I still feel the loss of your love


Remember when you told me
Recalling a conversation we had


How pain never lasts
Pain doesn't last forever


We can win tomorrow
We can overcome it tomorrow


By facing the pasts
By confronting our past experiences


How can today then
How can today be filled with pain, then?


All that remains
All that is left


Each and every memory
Every single memory


Is a heartful of pain
Causing a heart full of pain


And when I feel the morning light
When my day begins


I reach for you to hold you tight
I long to embrace you


How I wish I could feel you once more
I deeply desire to feel your presence again


See the sun rise on your face
To witness the sunrise on your beautiful face


But deep down in my heart I know
However, I know deep inside


That maybe I should let you go
Perhaps, it's time for me to move on


But you are a hard habit to break
Leaving you has proved to be a challenge
