All I Want Is You
Polisar Barry Loui Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee
And if I was a tree growing tall and green
All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves
If I was a flower growing wild and free
All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee
And if I was a tree growing tall and green
All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea
If you were a river in the mountains tall
The rumble of your water would be my call
If you were the winter, I know I'd be the snow
Just as long as you were with me, when the cold winds blow
All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea
If you were a wink, I'd be a nod
If you were a seed, well I'd be a pod
If you were the floor, I'd wanna be the rug
And if you were a kiss, I know I'd be a hug
All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea
If you were the wood, I'd be the fire
If you were the love, I'd be the desire
If you were a castle, I'd be your moat
And if you were an ocean, I'd learn to float
All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea
The lyrics to "All I Want Is You" by Polisar Barry Loui depict a love so pure and simple that it can be compared to the natural world. In the first two stanzas, the singer describes how if they were a flower or a tree, all they would want is their loved one to be their companion, a "sweet honey bee" or "shade me and be my leaves". The following verses take other examples, such as a river, winter, wink or wood, and explain how the singer would complement their beloved.
The chorus repeats that all they want is their loved one, and asks if they would marry them and stay by their side, holding them in their arms and swaying them like the sea.
The lyrics are poetic, full of metaphors and comparisons to the natural world. It depicts a romance where the singer sees themselves as incomplete without their love, and how they would complement and support each other. The song will resonate with anyone who has ever felt a love so strong that they want nothing more than to be with that person forever.

If I was a flower growing wild and free
All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.
And if I was a tree growing tall and green
All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves
If I was a flower growing wild and free
All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.
And if I was a tree growing tall and green

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.
If you were a river in the mountains tall,
The rumble of your water would be my call.
If you were the winter, I know I'd be the snow
Just as long as you were with me, when the cold winds blow.

I remember this song from the move Juno. My late girlfriend Julia and I saw it twice in a theatre and from then on, I frequently referred to her as "my sweet honey bee.' More that a year and a half after her passing, she will still and always be my sweet honey bee.

Is it just me or does a song with a harmonica never disappoint?
@soposh5673
It's just you.
@lizbeth.gonzalez
100% agreed
A harmonica makes everything better
