It's Impossible
Perry Como Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's impossible, ask a baby not to cry, it's just impossible
Can I hold you closer to me and not feel you goin' through me?
Split the second that I never think of you, oh, how impossible
Can the ocean keep from rushin' to the shore, it's just impossible
If I had you, could I ever want for more, it's just impossible
And tomorrow, should ya ask me for the world, somehow I'd get it
For to live without your love
It's just impossible
Can the ocean keep from rushin' to the shore, it's just impossible
If I had you, could I ever want for more, it's just impossible
And tomorrow, shouldya ask me for the world, somehow I'd get it
I would sell my very soul and not regret it
For to live without your love
It's just impossible
Impossible, impossible
The song "It's Impossible" by Perry Como is one of his most popular singles, released in 1970. The song talks about the impossibility of living without someone you love. The first two lines of the song provide examples of things that are impossible: telling the sun to leave the sky and asking a baby not to cry. These are things that are clearly beyond our control, no matter how much we might wish for them to be otherwise. The singer then goes on to talk about how he feels when he is with the person he loves, describing the way he feels their presence deeply and keenly when they are close.
The chorus echoes the sense of impossibility that is woven throughout the song, insisting that living without the person he loves is simply impossible. He asks whether the ocean could stop rushing to the shore, implying that the natural forces of the world are just as certain as the fact that he needs this person in his life. This need is so strong that he would do anything for the person he loves, even if it meant selling his very soul. The final repetition of the word "impossible" drives home the point that this need is overwhelming and all-encompassing.

Just as it's impossible for the ocean to stop rushing to the shore, it's impossible for me to not want to be with you.
If I had you, could I ever want for more, it's just impossible
If I have you, I don't need anything else, and wanting for more becomes impossible.

Impossible, impossible
Living without you is impossible; you're everything to me, and I need you always.

"It's impossible
Tell the sun to leave the sky
It's just impossible
It's impossible
Ask a baby not to cry
It's just impossible
Can I hold you closer to me
And not feel you goin' through me?
Split the second that I never think of you
Oh, how impossible!
Can the ocean keep from rushin' to the shore?
It's just impossible
If I had you, could I ever want for more?
It's just impossible
And tomorrow
Should ya ask me for the world
Somehow I'd get it
I would sell my very soul and not regret it
For to live without your love
It's just impossible
Can the ocean keep from rushin' to the shore?
It's just impossible
If I had you, could I ever want for more?
It's just impossible
And tomorrow
Should ya ask me for the world
Somehow I'd get it
I would sell my very soul and not regret it
For to live without your love
