You And Me
Lorrie Morgan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Looking out for love
In the night so still
Oh I'll build you a kingdom
In that house on the hill
Looking out for love
Big, big love

You said that you love me
And that you always will
Oh you begged me to keep you
In that house on the hill
Looking out for love
Big, big love

I wake up alone
With it all
I wake up
But only to fall

Looking out for love
Big, big love




Just looking out for love
Big, big love

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Lorrie Morgan's "You and Me" establish a sense of longing and searching, as the singer looks out for love in the still of the night. She promises to build her lover a kingdom in a house on a hill, suggesting a deep commitment and devotion to the relationship. As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the lover has made promises of his own, telling the singer that he loves her and will always be there for her.


Despite these reassurances, the singer wakes up alone and struggling to hold on to the love she seeks. The repetition of "looking out for love, big, big love" underscores her yearning for a deep and enduring connection with her partner, one that will sustain her through the ups and downs of life. The final line, "just looking out for love," suggests that this quest is ongoing and perhaps unfulfilled at present.


Line by Line Meaning

Looking out for love
Searching for a deep and meaningful connection with another person


In the night so still
During the quiet hours of the night, when everything is peaceful and calm


Oh I'll build you a kingdom
I will create a beautiful and luxurious life for us to share together


In that house on the hill
In a grand and majestic home that overlooks the world below


Big, big love
A powerful and intense affection that cannot be contained


You said that you love me
You professed your love and devotion to me


And that you always will
You promised to love me forever and never let me go

You pleaded with me to hold onto you and never leave your side


I wake up alone
I find myself by myself in the morning


With it all
Despite having everything I thought I wanted


I wake up
I become conscious in the morning


But only to fall
But my hopes and dreams for love continue to elude me


Just looking out for love
Continuing to search for a fulfilling and all-consuming love


Big, big love
A love that is grand and magnificent, beyond ordinary experience
