Where Do I Begin
Patricia Kaas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To tell the story of how great a love can be;
The sweet love story that is older than the sea,
The simple truth about the love he brings to me?
Where do I start?
With his first hello,
He gave new meaning to this empty world of mine,
He came into my life and made the living fine,
He fills my heart,
He fills my heart with very special things,
With angels' songs, with wild imaginings,
He fills my soul with so much love,
That anywhere I go I'm never lonely;
With him along, who could be lonely?
I reach for his hand, it's always there
How long does it last?
Can love be measured by the hours in a day?
I have no answers now but this much I can say:
I know I'll need him till the stars all burn away,
And he'll be there.
The lyrics of Patricia Kaas's song Where Do I Begin tell the story of a great love that has filled the emptiness in the singer's life. The singer wonders where to begin in telling the simple truth about the love her partner brings to her life. She remembers their first meeting, and how his hello brought new meaning to her world. She believes there is no other love or time like theirs. He has filled her life with special things, such as angelic songs and wild imaginings. His love has also filled her soul with so much love that she is never lonely anywhere she goes.
The singer acknowledges that she does not know how long their love will last as it cannot be measured by the hours in a day. She knows she will need him until the stars all burn away, and she is confident that he will always be there for her. The song is a celebration of love that has sustained and changed the singer's life, and the simple truth of how great a love can be.

To tell the story of how great a love can be;
To share the tale of a love so grand;
The sweet love story that is older than the sea,
Ensconced in history is our sweet love;
The simple truth about the love he brings to me?
What can I say about the love he brings into my life?
Where do I start?
Once again, where can I start this beautiful story?
With his first hello,
It all began with the first time he said ‘hello’;
He gave new meaning to this empty world of mine,
He bought new hope into my hopeless world;
There'll never be another love, another time,
I'm sure there will never be another love or time like this;
He came into my life and made the living fine,
He entered my life and made it worth living;
He fills my heart,
He fills my heart with an abundance of love;
He fills my heart with very special things,

I go to any place with confidence knowing that I will never feel lonely because of him.
With him along, who could be lonely?
As long as he is with me, how could I ever feel alone?
I reach for his hand, it's always there
Whenever I need him, his hand is always within reach.
How long does it last?
How long will this love last?
Can love be measured by the hours in a day?
Is love restricted to the hours in a day? Does it have a defined limit?
I have no answers now but this much I can say:
I may not know the answers now, but I have this to say:
I know I'll need him till the stars all burn away,
I know I'll need him until the stars in the sky fade away;
And he'll be there.
And always, he will be there for me.
