All That Really Matters
Richie Sambora Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I look at you
You're beautiful
There comes a time in someone's life
When you find the things that matter
And every time we touch
The love runs deep
We realize it's ours to keep
And that's all that really matters

You'll always be my sweet addiction
In this life my saving grace
You're all that really matters
You know it's true
Ain't no me without you

When you're in the dark
Baby don't despair
I'm just a spark away
I will be there
And that's all that really matters

You'll always be my sweet addiction
In this life my saving grace
You're all that really matters
You know it's true
Ain't no me without you

We'll share our lives together
Yes our flame burns on forever
And at the final curtain call
We can say we did it all

You'll always be my sweet addiction
In this life my saving grace
You're all that really matters
You know it's true
Ain't no me without you

And when we turn to dust
And we fly away




There'll be a light still burning bright
And that's all that really matters
