Marc Anthony Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I called you late last night you see
I was fallin' into love
Yes, I was crashin' into love
Oh of all the words you sang to me
About life, the truth and being free, yeah
You sang to me, oh how you sang to me
Girl, I live off how you make me feel
So I question all this being real
'Cause I'm not afraid to love
For the first time I'm not afraid of love
Oh, this day seems made for you and me
And you showed me what life needs to be
Yeah, you sang to me, oh you sang to me
All the while you were in front of me I never realized
I just can't believe I didn't see it in your eyes
I didn't see it, I can't believe it
Oh but I feel it when you sing to me
Just to think you live inside of me
I had no idea how this could be
Now I'm crazy for your love
Can't believe I'm crazy for your love
The words you said you sang to me
And you showed me where I wanna be
You sang to me, oh you sang to me
All the while you were in front of me I never realized
I just can't believe I didn't see it in your eyes
I didn't see it, I can't believe it
Oh but I feel it when you sing to me
How I long to hear you sing beneath the clear blue skies
And I promise you this time I'll see it in your eyes
I didn't see it, I can't believe it
Oh but I feel it when you sing to me
In, out of my mind, all my mind, hey no no no
All the while you were in front of me I never realized
I just can't believe I didn't see it in your eyes
I didn't see it, I can't believe it
Oh but I feel it when you sing to me
How I long to hear you sing beneath the clear blue skies
And I promise you this time I'll see it in your eyes
I didn't see it, I can't believe it
Oh but I feel it
The lyrics of Marc Anthony's "You Sang to Me" express the emotions of a man who has fallen deeply in love with a woman. The singer calls the woman late at night, seeking comfort and reassurance in her voice. He acknowledges that he is falling into love and even crashing into it, but he also expresses doubts about whether the relationship is real. He has never felt this way before, and he is both exhilarated and scared by his newfound vulnerability.
The woman, in turn, sings to him about the truth of life and being free, and the singer realizes that she has been right in front of him the whole time, but he just didn't see it before. He marvels at the fact that she lives inside of him and promises that this time he will see the love in her eyes when she sings to him. The song is a beautiful, emotional tribute to the power of love and the way that it can open up our hearts and minds in unexpected ways.
