All The Way
Kenny G Brian Mcknight Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nothing's ever quite the way you think
Sometimes I can't see what's in front of me
I know you look at me as just a friend
That's all I am and all I've ever been

It took a little time for me to see
That I could fall for you so easily
I believe that you were heaven sent
I may never get this chance again to tell you that

I want you more than words can say
I gotta have you in each and every way
I'm open, an' I was hopin' we could take it all the way

I need you when all is said and done
I really need you 'cause you're the one
I love you, an' I was hopin' we could take it all the way

You can tell me if you don't agree
That this is happening so suddenly
But if you ever think of you and me
Or me and you and how good it could be

Then let me love you, let me in your life
Let me take you up to higher heights
Life without you girl would be punishment
I believe that this to be is meant

I want you more than words can say
I gotta have you in each and every way
I'm open, an' I was hopin' we could take it all the way

I need you when all is said and done
I really need you 'cause you're the one
I love you, an' I was hopin' we could take it all the way

You're everywhere I wanna be
Seen everything I need to see
Falling like stars from the sky
There's no more questions or why

I know you want me too
And baby girl and everything I do I do for you

I want you more than words can say
I gotta have you in each and every way
I'm open, an' I was hopin' we could take it all the way

I need you when all is said and done
I really need you 'cause you're the one
I love you, an' I was hopin' we could take it all the way

I want you more than words can say
I gotta have you in each and every way
I'm open, an' I was hopin' we could take it all the way

I need you when all is said and done




I really need you 'cause you're the one
I love you, an' I was hopin' we could take it all the way

Nothing's ever quite the way you think

I can be blinded to what's right in front of me

You see me as a friend and nothing more


That's all I am and all I've ever been
I've never been more than a friend to you


It took a little time for me to see
I didn't realize my feelings for you at first


That I could fall for you so easily
But now I realize how easily I fell for you


I believe that you were heaven sent
I think you were meant to come into my life


I may never get this chance again to tell you that

I know this might seem sudden to you

I want to be wherever you are


Seen everything I need to see
I don't need to look any further because you're everything I need


Falling like stars from the sky
Our love is intense and passionate


There's no more questions or why
I no longer question my feelings for you


I know you want me too
I believe that you have feelings for me as well


And baby girl and everything I do I do for you
Everything I do is for you, my love
