I May Never Pass This Way Again
Perry Como Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The sunshine or the fallin' rain.
I'll sing my song to cheer the weary along,
For I may never pass this way again!
I'll share my faith with every troubled heart,
So I shall not have lived in vain.
I'll give my hand, I'll sing my song,
I'll share my faith, because I know,
That the time is now to fulfill each vow,
For I may never pass this way again!

In Perry Como's song "I May Never Pass This Way Again," the lyrics express the singer's desire to make the most of every moment because they may not have the opportunity to do so again. The line "I'll give my hand to those who cannot see, the sunshine or the falling rain" suggests the singer's willingness to help those who are struggling in life, whether it be through physical or emotional means. They want to spread hope and happiness to those who need it most. The next line "I'll sing my song to cheer the weary along" further emphasizes this idea by revealing the singer's intention to sing about their experiences and encourage others to keep going.
The following two lines "I'll share my faith with every troubled heart, so I shall not have lived in vain" refer to the singer's religious beliefs and their desire to share it with those who may be going through difficult times. By doing this, the singer hopes to make a positive impact on the world and have a purpose in life. The final verse of the song brings all of these ideas together, and emphasizes that the present moment is crucial, because it may never come again. The singer wants to make the most of it by fulfilling their promises and spreading joy wherever they can.
