Show Me The Way
Marc Anthony Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just assumed love was something I knew
Said the words and believed they'd come true
Afraid to let go of my pride
To admit I was empty inside
There were days when it took all I had
Just to get through without feeling sad
Till there was you
Girl I can't get you out of my mind
(come change my heart) Come change my heart
(rest my soul) Rest my soul
(don't let me go) Don't let me go
(I will be yours) I will be yours
('cause I feel it now) I feel it now
This can't be wrong
Baby
Show me the way to your heart
(just close your eyes) Just close your eyes
(take my hand) Take my hand
(don't let me go) Don't let me go
(tonight I'm yours) Tonight I'm yours
(and I feel it now) I feel it now
This can't be wrong
Baby
Show me the way to your heart
Teach me to love
There was a time when I'd pray for the strength
For the loneliness I couldn't face
And time won't erase that pain
But I swear to you girl I have changed
I've been waiting for you all my life
Baby stay with me here tonight
Don't ever go away
Believe my words when I say
(come change my heart) Come change my heart
(rest my soul) Oh, rest my soul
(don't let me go) Don't let me go
(I will be yours) I will be yours
('cause I feel it now) 'Cause I feel it now
This can't be wrong
Baby
Show me the way to your heart
(just close your eyes) Just close your eyes
(take my hand) Take my hand
(don't let me go) Don't let me go
(tonight I'm yours) Tonight I'm yours
('cause I feel it now) 'Cause I feel it now
This can't be wrong
Baby
Show me the way to your heart
There were days when it took all I had
Just to get through without feeling sad
Till there was you in my life
Girl I can't get you out of my mind
(come change my heart) Come change my heart
(rest my soul) Rest my soul
(don't let me go) Don't let me go
(I will be yours) I will be yours
('cause I feel it now) 'Cause I feel it now
This can't be wrong
Baby
Show me the way to your heart
(just close your eyes) Just close your eyes
(and take my hand) And take my hand
(don't let me go) Don't let me go
(tonight I'm yours) Tonight I'm yours
(and I feel it now) And I feel it now
This can't be wrong
Baby
Show me the way to your heart
The song "Show Me The Way" by Marc Anthony is a heartfelt plea for love and guidance. The opening verses describe the singer's past experiences with love, admitting that he thought he knew what it was, but ultimately feeling empty and alone. He acknowledges that it took all he had just to get through some days without feeling sad, until he met the person who changed everything for him. The chorus is a repetition of the request to be shown the way to their heart, which is repeated with more urgency in the second verse.
The bridge of the song shifts to the singer's inner thoughts, where he reflects on the pain and loneliness he has faced in the past, and his newfound sense of hope now that he has found the person he wants to be with. The chorus returns with the same passionate request for the person to show him the way to their heart, emphasizing the intensity of his desire.
Overall, the song is a plea for guidance and reassurance in a love that the singer feels is right, but also acknowledges his insecurities and past struggles. The lyrics are simple and direct, but convey a sense of deep feeling that is carried through Anthony's passionate delivery.
