Lenny Kravitz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or is it the soul I can see in your eyes
The clothes that you wear or the smell of your hair
Or is it the way I can't sleep when you're not there
All my life, I've been waiting for you
All my life, I've been waiting for you
Is it the way that you feel deep inside
Your star and your flair are beyond compare
Or is it the way that we feel when we're on fire
All my life, I've been waiting for you
All my life, Oh I, I've been waiting for you
Every night, Oh I've been waiting for you
All my life, I've been waiting for you
All my life, I've been waiting for you
All my life, I've been waiting for you
All my life, I've been waiting for you
All my life, Oh I, I've been waiting for you
All my life, I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for you

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've been searching for you
I heard a cry within my soul
I've never had a yearning quite like this before
Know that you are walking right through my door
[Chorus]
All of my life
Where have you been
I wonder if I'll ever see you again?
And if that day comes
I know we could win
I wonder if I'll ever see you again?
A sacred gift of heaven
For better worse, wherever
And I would never let somebody break you down
Until you cried, never
[Chorus]
All of my life
Where have you been
I wonder if I'll ever see you again?
And if that day comes
I know we could win
I wonder if I'll ever see you again?
[Bridge]
At every time I've always known
That you were there
Upon your throne
A lonely queen without her king
I longed for you
My love forever
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
All of my life
Where have you been
I wonder if I'll ever see you again?
And if that day comes
I know we could win
I wonder if I'll ever see you again?
All of my life
Where have you been
I wonder if I'll ever see you again?
And if that day comes
I know we could win
I wonder if I'll ever see you again?

Where have you been
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
And if that day comes
I know we could win
I wonder if I'll ever see you again

This song reminds me of a girl that I liked, Margarita Campos. She worked at McDonald's and I was working with my uncle painting new homes. I just graduated high school, it was summer and my uncle talked to his boss and he got me on with him. So I moved in with my uncle in Oklahoma City. We would stop at McDonald's a little ways away from our boss's house and I saw her, the most prettiest girl I had ever seen, so every time I would go, I would go to her line just to interact with her, I was self conscious and I didn't know how to talk to girls, I was scared and nervous, but she would always smile and light up when she would see me and my fear would melt away. She liked me, I could tell, I could feel it, the look in her eyes, her smile, she was just as awkward as I was, we liked each other, but didn't know how to say it. I always ordered the same thing and when I'd get up to her she would already have my order punched in. One day in line I was in her line, it was longer than the other and my coworker Christy, called to me, said hey Anthony, this line is shorter, then she saw Margarita on the other side of the counter looking past the other customers looking right at me smiling and me staring right back at her, and Christy said, oh, okay, I get it, and laughed. Another time I went there, I didn't see her, I was disappointed, I got my food and sat down at a table and someone threw a napkin at me, I whipped around to see who was throwing stuff and I saw her a couple booths over smiling at me, she came and sat down with me and we talked for a moment, I worked up the courage to ask her for her number, but she said her dad would be mad if a boy called, so we talked for a little longer before I had to leave. Several days passed, it was Christmas Eve I bought her some flowers, a bear and balloons and took it to McDonald's to give to Margarita. I walked in happy, eyes scanning the place looking for her, and an older Mexican lady, her coworker, she came up to me and said you poor thing, Margarita is not here, she moved back to Mexico, my heart broke, I walked out set the flowers on top of the trash can and I let the balloons go, I never saw her again, I never got to say goodbye. That is what this song reminds me of, Margarita 😔
@exaltedstate
Awww, that's such a sweet story thank you so much for sharing it!! I think we all have someone in our lives like this, a memory that aches. If it's any consolation, I can guarantee you 100% she still thinks of you as well and feels the same way. Id even bet that sometimes when she pops into your head out of nowhere really intensely and for no reason, it's because she's thinking about you too and at that moment you guys are connected again 💯 I fully believe that and know it to be true from experience! Hopefully now that you're older you're more confident and stuff so you never have to go through this again, right? I wish you well, whoever you are ❤️
