My Everything
Lee Donghae Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The loneliness of nights alone
The search for strength to carry on
My every hope has seemed to die
My eyes has no more tears to cry
Then like the sun shining up above
You surrounded me with your endless love
Coz all the things I couldn't see
Are now so clear to me

You are my everything
Nothing your love wont bring
My life is yours alone
The only love I've ever known
Your spirit pulls me through
When nothing else will do
Every night I pray
On bended knees
That you will always
Be my everything

You're the breath of life in me
The only one that sets me free
And you have made my soul complete
For all time
For all time

You are my everything
Nothing your love wont bring
My life is yours alone
The only love I've ever known
Your spirit pulls me through
When nothing else will do
Every night I pray
Down On bended knees
That you will always




Be my everything
Oh my everything.

2020 and I'm still very touched. Having loved him for 10 years and never feel regret 💙

I remember one time someone said to me something along the lines of "Why is Donghae your favorite?  Sure he's cute but why else?"
I thought for a while and I said to them "I really don't know how to put it into words.  He just holds a very special place in my heart."  And I showed them this video and said "This is one of the many reasons why.  He is the only person who has ever sang and moved me to tears."
Donghae oppa you are my everything!  I'm sure your papa is very proud of you!

After watching Donghae dedicate this to his father, I'm gonna sing it for my audition and dedicate it to my grandmother.

The fanchant is real!

His english is quite good, and it has definitely gotten better since this video. That little accent just enhances the song for me.
My bias is adorable.
