All I Ever Wanted
LENNY KRAVITZ FEATURING MICK JAGGER Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby can't keep on running
All I want you to do is to feel with me yeah
We both are hurting
And it's gonna take a little time
To heal all the wounds and save our family

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
All I ever wanted was love

Remember kissing in the moonlight?
How we held each other all night
All I ever wanted was love

Darling darling darling
Don't you want to feel good inside?
It seems I've forgotten how it feels to be
Look up to the stars
And ask the heavens
To show you the truth
So that you can be free

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
All I ever wanted was love

Remember kissing in the moonlight?
How we held each other all night
All I ever wanted was love

Tell me what's the answer?
It's gotten so cloudy I just can't see
But you got your life and I got mine
Are we even?
When I know I want you
And baby you want me

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
All I ever wanted was love

Remember kissing in the moonlight?




How we held each other all night
All I ever wanted was love

Se puede ver en el cielo azul claro
Se puede ver en el ojo de una mujer
Se puede oír en el llanto de tu bebé
Se puede oír en los ojos de tu amante

Se puede tocar en un grano de arena
Si, sostenlo así en la palma de tu mano
Sientelo alrededor tuyo todos los días
Escucha lo que tengo para decir

Dios me ha concedido todo lo que he deseado
Te lo voy a dar todo a ti
Dios me ha concedido todo lo que he deseado
Te lo voy a dar todo a ti

Lo vi en la zona de la media noche
Lo sentí en la carrera y salí corriendo
Lo oigo en el viento y la tormenta
Lo siento en la madrugada helada

Lo huelo en el vino que pruebo
Lo veo en el rostro de mi padre
Lo escucho en una sinfonía
Lo siento en el amor que demuestras por mi

Dios me ha concedido todo lo que he deseado
Te lo voy a dar todo a ti
Dios me ha concedido todo lo que he deseado
Te lo voy a dar todo a ti
