Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just had to cry.
I stood alone with no love of my own,
But then you happened by,
Oh darlin', Bless You,
Bless ev'ry breath that you take,
Bless ev'ry move that you make so perfectly,
And bless your little heart for lovin' me,
Till you smiled and took my hand,
I felt kinda small,
But you stood by me for the whole world to see,
And then I was ten feet tall,
Oh darlin', Bless You, Bless ev'ry breath that you take,
Bless ev'ry move that you make so perfectly,
And bless your little heart for lovin' me.
Ev'ry time I faced the world,
I just had to cry.
I stood alone with no love of my own,
But then you happened by,
Oh darlin', Bless You,
Bless ev'ry breath that you take,
Bless ev'ry move that you make so perfectly,
And bless your little heart for lovin' me,
Uuh, Bless You, Bless you, child!
Till you smiled and took my hand,
I felt kinda small,
But you stood by me for the whole world to see,
And then I was ten feet tall,
Oh darlin', Bless You, Bless ev'ry breath that you take,
Bless ev'ry move that you make so perfectly,

Perhaps one of the most misunderstood songs of all time ...... me and my wife loved this song as kids going out together and it was going to be our first dance together on our wedding night a week before the wedding I learned this is not fact a love song Tony Orlando wrote this about his sister who had severe special needs as we say now - we cried and cried im not ashamed to say but on out wedding nite this was our first dance -we kept it in could not really do any thing else
