Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When it's love you give
I'll be your man of good faith
When in love you live
I'll make a stand, I won't break
I'll be the rock you can lean on, oh
Be there when you're old
To have and to hold
When there's love inside
I swear I'll always be strong
And there's a reason why
I'll prove to you we belong
I'll be the wall that protects you, yeah
From the wind and the rain
From the hurt and the pain, yeah, oh

Let's make it all for one and all for love
Let the one you hold be the one you want
The one you need
'Cause when it's all for one it's one for all
When there's someone that you know
Then just let your feelings show
And make it all for one and all for love

When it's love you make
I'll be the fire in your night
Then it's love you take
I will defend, I will fight
I'll be there when you need me
When honor's at stake
This vow I will make, yeah

That it's all for one and all for love
Let the one you hold be the one you want
The one you need
'Cause when it's all for one it's one for all
When there's someone that you know
Then just let your feelings show
And make it all for one and all for love

Don't lay our love to rest
'Cause we could stand up to the test
We got everything and more than we had planned
More than the rivers that run inland
We got it all in our hands

Now it's all for one and all for love
Let the one you hold be the one you want
The one you need
'Cause when it's all for one it's one for all
When there's someone that you know
Then just let your feelings show
When there's someone that you want
When there's someone that you need




Let's make it all, all for one
And all for love

Overall Meaning

The song "All My Love" by Rod Stewart is an upbeat and optimistic song that expresses a desire to break away from the monotony of modern life and find happiness and love in a new and exciting environment. The song begins with the singer waking up in the morning, watching the news, and feeling bored and discontented with his routine life. He dreams of buying a small house by the ocean and betting everything on love and happiness. In the chorus, he sings about sailing away to Mexico to live out all of his days, free from the constraints of his old life.


The second verse is more detailed and colorful, describing the singer's plans to grow his hair out, find a girlfriend, and explore the nightlife and entertainment scene in Mexico. He imagines himself learning to cha-cha and sipping piña coladas on a midnight trampoline. He encourages the listener to join him in this adventure, promising a cold beer waiting at the beachside bar.


Line by Line Meaning

I get up in the morning
I start my day early


And while I'm still yawning
And even though I'm tired


I watch the television and digest the news
I watch the news to stay informed


I gotta get away from the routine and the boredom
I need a break from the monotonous daily life


The monotony of modern life won't be the death of me
I won't let the routine and monotony of modern life kill me


Now you may think it funny but I've saved up all my money
You may find it funny but I've saved all my money


To buy a little shack where the ocean meet the sky
To buy a small house by the beach


And if I were a gambling man, sir, which thank the Lord I'm not, sir
And if I were a risk-taker, which I'm not


I'd bet my last dollar on love and happiness
I would bet everything I have on love and happiness


Sail away, sail away
Let's go far away


I'm gonna find the sunshine to live out all my days
I'm going to find happiness to live my life


I'm going down to Mexico to live out all my days
I'm going to Mexico to find joy and live my life


I'd comb my hair to shoulder length, I might even find a girlfriend
I'll change my appearance, maybe even find love


We'll find all of the hotspots on a midnight trampoline
We'll find all the fun places to go at night


They'll teach us how to cha-cha while drinking piña colada
We'll learn new things and enjoy ourselves


We'll dance to the rhythm of the sun, sea and sand
We'll dance and enjoy the beach and ocean


Now if you wanna join us
If you want to come with us


We're in a place called gorgeous
We're in a beautiful place


There'll be a cold beer waiting in the bar down on the beach
We'll have a cold beer waiting for us at the beach bar


Now what do you got to lose, friend?
What do you have to lose, my friend?


Throw caution to the wind, friend
Take a risk and live a little, my friend


For once in your life do something for you
Do something that makes you happy, for once in your life


All my days
My whole life
