You And Me Against The World
Matt Monro Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You and me against the world,
Sometimes it seems like you and me against the world,
When all the others turn their backs and walked away,
You can count on me to stay.

Remember when the circus came to town
How you were frightened by the clown,
Wasn't it nice to be around someone that you knew,
Someone who was big and strong and looking out for

You and me against the world,
Sometimes it seems like you and me against the world
And for all the times we've cried I always felt that
God was on our side.

And when one of us is gone,
And one of us is left to carry on,
Then remembering will have to do,
Our memories alone will get us through




Think about the days of me and you,
Of you and me against the world.

Overall Meaning

The song "You and Me Against The World" by Matt Monro is a touching tribute to the power of love and the importance of having someone by your side through life's trials and tribulations. The lyrics reflect on the ups and downs of a relationship, the sense of isolation, and the comfort of having someone who will always be there. The song speaks to the idea that though the world may seem against us, love can help us get through anything.


The song's verses recount a memory, perhaps from childhood, of a time when the circus came to town and the fear of the unknown crept in. However, the singer notes that having someone familiar, someone "big and strong," can help us feel safe and protected in the face of adversity. The chorus reminds us that it can sometimes feel like it's just "you and me against the world," and that even when we're facing tough times, we can count on each other.


The final verse speaks to the bond that remains even when one person is gone. The memories of the love shared between them will carry them through, and the memories of the moments they spent together will live on forever.

I let my tears roll down my cheeks as i am watching this video of one of my most favorite singers of all time. I remember my younger years and my pops who looked exactly like Matt and was pop's favorite singer and i should know when he tried to sing like our favorite singer of all time and that is no other than Matt Monro, one of the best if not the best in the whole world wide but certainly he's got the golden voice he alone deserved to be called.
