All The Way
Mike Melito Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's no good unless he loves you, all the way
Happy to be near you
When you need someone to cheer you, all the way
Taller than the tallest tree is
That's how it's got to feel
Deeper than the deep blue see is
When somebody needs you
It's no good unless he needs you, all the way
Through the good or lean years
And for all the in between years, come what may
Who know where the road will lead us
Only a fool would say
But if you'll let me love you
It's for sure I'm gonna love you, all the way
All the way
The song "All the Way" by Mike Melito talks about the importance of love and how it should be all-encompassing. It speaks about how love is not enough unless it is given "all the way" and emphasizes the need for a deep and abiding love that transcends boundaries and lasts through thick and thin. The lyrics suggest that this kind of love is both powerful and rare, and that once it is found, it is essential to hold on to it.
The song starts by stating that when someone loves you, it is not enough unless they love you fully and completely. The lines "Happy to be near you/When you need someone to cheer you, all the way" suggest that love should be unselfish and supportive, and that it should extend even to the smallest things that make a person happy. The following lines, "Taller than the tallest tree is/That's how it's got to feel/Deeper than the deep blue see is/That's how deep it goes if it's real", paint a vivid picture of how powerful true love can be, evoking images of a love that is all-encompassing and can overcome any obstacle.
The second half of the song emphasizes the importance of being needed by someone and having that person need you "all the way". The lines "Through the good or lean years/And for all the in-between years, come what may" suggest that love should not waver through the ups and downs of life, and that it should remain steadfast even when times are tough. The song ends with a note of hope, with the singer proclaiming that "if you'll let me love you/It's for sure I'm gonna love you, all the way", suggesting that true love is out there and that it is worth the effort to find and keep it.
