For the Love of You
Malone Russell Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yesterday you came my way,
And when you smiled at me,
In my heart I felt a thrill you see,
That it was love at sight and
I was right to love you as I do.
Still I never dreamed that you could love me too.

Your eyes of blue, your kisses too,

I never knew what they could do.
I can't believe that you're in love with me.

You're telling ev'ry one I know
I'm on your mind each place we go
They can't believe that you're in love with me.

I have always placed you far above me.
I just can't imagine that you love me.
And after all is said and done,
To think that I'm the lucky one.
I can't believe that you're in love with me.

Skies are gray. I'm blue each day
When you are not around.
Ev'ry thing goes wrong, my dear I've found
But when you're by my side I fill with pride
For I'm so proud of you
It all seems too good to me to all be true

Your eyes of blue, your kisses too,
I never knew what they could do.
I can't believe that you're in love with me.

You're telling ev'ry one I know
I'm on your mind each place we go
They can't believe that you're in love with me.

I have always placed you far above me.
I just can't imagine that you love me.
And after all is said and done,

To think that I'm the lucky one.
I can't believe that you're in love with me.

Line by Line Meaning

Yesterday you came my way,
It was only one day prior that you crossed my path

And when you smiled at me,
Your smile made me feel a certain way

In my heart I felt a thrill you see,
Your smile made my heart skip a beat

That it was love at sight and
I believe I fell in love with you instantly

I was right to love you as I do.
My love for you is justified and true

Still I never dreamed that you could love me too.
However, I never thought that you could love me back

Your eyes of blue, your kisses too,
The color of your eyes and the way you kiss me are both delightful surprises

I never knew what they could do.
I was unaware of the impact that your eyes and kisses could have on me

You're telling ev'ry one I know
You've been spreading the word to everyone around us

I'm on your mind each place we go
That I'm constantly on your mind no matter where we are

They can't believe that you're in love with me.
Others find it hard to believe that you're in love with me

I have always placed you far above me.
I've always looked up to you and thought of you as better than me

I just can't imagine that you love me.
It's hard for me to grasp and believe that you actually love me

And after all is said and done,
Considering everything that has happened

To think that I'm the lucky one.
I feel fortunate and blessed to have you as my partner

Skies are gray. I'm blue each day
My days are gloomy and sad when you're not around

When you are not around.
I feel lonely and incomplete when you're not with me

Ev'ry thing goes wrong, my dear I've found
Everything seems to go haywire and fall apart when you're not here

But when you're by my side I fill with pride
However, when you're with me I feel a great sense of self-esteem

For I'm so proud of you
This is because I'm so proud of being with you

It all seems too good to me to all be true
Honestly, it seems too good to be real or genuine at times
