Pat Metheny Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I give her all my love
That's all I do
And if you saw my love
You'd love her to
I love her

She gives my everything
And tenderly
The kiss my lover brings
She brings to me
And I love her

A love like ours
Could never die
As long as I
Have you near me

Bright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her

Bright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine




Will never die
And I love her, ooh

My mother was into the Big Band era, Glenn Miller, Dorsey, Goodman, etc... but every once in a while, she could tolerate some newer music. She didn't like Rock & Roll at all, but she liked some softer stuff. I came across this video in 2014, and I asked her to listen to it ( I was her caregiver by then). She was skeptical when I said it was a guitar rendition, but she let me play it. It absolutely melted her heart. She died about a month later sadly, but I was glad she got to experience a different type of music and was able to enjoy it. Miss you, Mom.

That’s why they say that a song has the longest life. A good melody will outlive us all.
