Is That Alright?
Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Life is so simple
A little boy, a little girl
Laughing and loving
Tryin' to figure out the world

It felt like summer
When I kissed you in the rain
And I know your story
But tell me again

Nothing you say wouldn't interest me
All of your words are like poems to me
I would be honored if you would take me as I am

I want you
To look right in my eyes
To tell me you love me
To be by my side
I want you
At the end of my life
I wanna see your face when I fall with grace
At the moment I die
Is that alright?
Is that alright?

I hope you're still with me
When I'm not quite myself
And I pray that you'll lift me
When you know I need help

It's a warm celebration
Of all of our years
I dream of our story
Of our fairy-tale

Family dinners and family trees
Teachin' the kids to say, "Thank you," and, "Please"
Knowin' if we stay together that things will be right

I want you
To look right in my eyes
To tell me you love me
To be by my side
I want you
At the end of my life
Wanna see your face when I fall with grace
At the moment I die
Is that alright?




Is that alright?
Is that alright?

Overall Meaning

The song "Is That Alright?" is a romantic ballad that expresses the desire for a love that lasts a lifetime. The lyrics talk about how life is simple when there is love and how, even though the world is complex and unpredictable, being with the ones we love makes everything else seem clear. The mention of a little boy and a little girl refers to the simplicity and innocence of childhood, and how the feeling of love can bring us back to that sense of wonder and joy.


The chorus of the song is particularly powerful, as Lady Gaga sings about wanting her partner to be with her throughout her life, even in the most difficult moments. She wants to look into their eyes and hear them say "I love you," and she wants to see their face when she takes her last breath. This speaks to the deep longing we all have for a love that is unconditional and enduring, one that will stand the test of time.


The entire song is about the importance of love in our lives, from childhood through to the end of our days. It celebrates the idea of family, of growing old together, and of cherishing every moment we have with the ones we love. It is a beautiful ode to the power of love, and a reminder to us all to cherish the ones we hold dear.

I am 43, my dog is my best friend and he is literally all I have. I dont have children, I never married, I dont have a gf or even anyone I can talk to. I work from home and my dog is never more than 5 feet from me 90% of the time for 9 years. He is very sick and will pass away soon and to say I am overwhelmed is an understatement. I went to see this movie by myself tonight and I've been listening to the soundtrack all night and it's the only thing that has made me feel better for weeks.

Updated:
Thank you to everyone for the kind words. I have read every comment and when I say I appreciate those of you who didnt have to reach out to me but did, I mean it. Its been 5 days since I wrote this message and I am heartbroken to say that on Oct 9th Ernie passed away. What I appreciate the most from all of you is the empathy you've shown. Many people discount the passing of a pet and they will tell you what should and shouldn't hurt. It's not that I had Ernie for almost 10 years, it's that it has only been he and I for the last 10 years. I found Ernie at a rescue in 2009 and I needed a companion after my fiance and I broke up. Ernie filled that void and he was my only consistent source of joy. No matter what was happening he brought me joy and in return I never raised my voice to him and I never neglected him for even a second because I knew he would be gone one day. My engagement ended more than 10 years ago and this is the first time since 2009 I have felt completely alone and I am in so much pain without him.

2nd Update:
I love animals because I don't think much of people. I have to tell you all that I am genuinely shocked at the comments. I hit these really low points and when I do I check this simple little post I put on YouTube and I read all of your comments and they actually help. Not only are they helping me with what I'm going through, they are helping with how I feel about people in general. When something is wrong with me I don't tell anyone about it because I know it's a burden to others and they dont know what to say. I just cant believe how helpful you all have been and I will continue to read every word. I'm going to list a link to my Facebook acct if anyone wants to see a picture of Ernie. If you see an older Lab his name is BeeJay. I found BeeJay on an exit ramp in 2014 when he was 11. He was really sick and neglected and I took him in, nursed him back to health and gave him the best life I possibly could. BeeJay passed away last year and my mom passed a couple of months before that so losing Ernie after so many other things has just left me in a state of sadness that I've never felt before.

I'm still receiving every comment and I'm so grateful to everyone who takes the time to say a kind word and be supportive. I check this at least twice a day and there is a new supportive comment every time. I am in pain but I still recognize kindness and I cant thank you all enough.
