To Feel That Way At All
Patty Loveless Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But he never really says what's in his heart
The way he needs her, the way he wants her
It's a miracle to feel that way at all
[Chorus:]
Oh, I can't tear myself away
From where the rose petals fall
I was lucky to feel that way at all
The way he learned it, the way she turned it
Beyond his wildest dreams to have earned it
It was exciting, everything riding
On whether that one star would keep on shining
[Chorus x2]
Oh, I can't tear myself away
From where the rose petals fall
Down the path to yesterday
I was lucky to feel that way at all
The way he needs her
The way he wants her
It's a miracle to feel that way at all
The lyrics of Patty Loveless's song, "To Feel That Way At All," seem to describe a sentimental mood between two lovers. The song introduces a gentleman who brings flowers to his loved one and has long conversations with her. However, despite his affection, he never says what is in his heart, which only provokes the question of what could be the reason behind the gentleman's reluctance to express his love? Is he shy, uncertain, or merely waiting for the right moment? It is evident, though, that the way he "needs her, the way he wants her" suggests the genuineness of his feelings. To feel that way, according to the lyrics, is nothing short of "a miracle."
In the chorus, the song talks about "where the rose petals fall," which could indicate the memories that remain with a person, as a reminder of a time when they felt loved and special. These memories might be all that is left of a past love or even the beginning of a new chapter in life. The song continues by describing the excitement of being in love, where everything is uncertain, and the future is determined by the "one star." The song, in its entirety, reminisces the beauty of feeling love and the happiness that it brings.
