Lenny Kravitz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the spirit never lies
There's a feeling that I can't explain
Deep inside, deep inside
Feels like I've known you forever
Since the origin of time
I've been with you in eternity
I have loved you since the dawn, my love
Through the storm, my love, we will ride
I have loved you since the dawn, my love
Through the storm, my love, we will ride
You and I on Earth together
Can't you see it's no surprise
I know it from the first second, babe
As I looked in your eyes
I could only dream of heaven
When I gaze into the sky
But I know I found my angel here
In this life, in this life
I have loved you since the dawn, my love
Through the storm, my love, we will ride
I have loved you since the dawn, my love
Through the storm, my love, we will ride
I have loved you since the dawn, my love
Through the storm, my love, we will ride
I have loved you since the dawn, my love
Through the storm, my love, we will ride
We will ride
(Ride, ride) ride, ride, ride, ride, ride
I have loved you since the dawn, my love
Through the storm, my love, we will ride
I have loved you since the dawn, my love
Through the storm, my love, we will ride
I have loved you since the dawn, my love
Through the storm, my love, we will ride, oh yeah, we will ride
I have loved you since the dawn, my love
Through the storm, my love, we will ride, oh yeah, we will ride
I have loved you since the dawn, my love

When I look into your spirit
Looking into your soul, I can see the essence of who you truly are
And the spirit never lies
The true nature of a person can always be seen through their spirit
There's a feeling that I can't explain
There's an unexplainable connection between us that I can feel
Deep inside, deep inside
This connection is deeply ingrained within me
Feels like I've known you forever
Despite only just meeting, it feels like we have a long history together
Since the origin of time
As if we have been connected since the beginning of existence itself
I've been with you in eternity
I feel like I have been with you forever in some sense
In my mind, in my mind
This feeling is something that I can't shake, it's always on my mind
You and I on Earth together
It's not a coincidence that we are both here on this Earth at the same time
Can't you see it's no surprise
The universe has brought us together for a reason, it's serendipity
I know it from the first second, babe
As soon as I laid eyes on you, I knew we were connected
As I looked in your eyes
It was in your eyes that I saw this connection
I could only dream of heaven
Before I met you, I couldn't imagine anything better than heaven
When I gaze into the sky
Yet, when I look up now, I realize that I've found my heaven on Earth
But I know I found my angel here
You are the angel that I've been searching for
In this life, in this life
You are exactly what I need in this current moment of my life
Through the storm, my love, we will ride
No matter what obstacles come our way, we'll face them together
I have loved you since the dawn, my love
My love for you has existed since the beginning of time
We will ride
Together, we'll embark on this journey of life

I miss his music, so breathtaking and freeing. You close your eyes and your body is lifted to another realm of melodies with symbols and strings and your feet touch back down on solid ground when you hear that last chord. Simply magical!!!!
