Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And through your eyes all the things I want to see
And in the night you are my dream
You're everything to me
You're the love of my life
And the breath in my prayers
Take my hand lead me there
I can't forget the taste of your mouth
From your lips the heavens pour out
I can't forget when we are one
With you alone I am free
Everyday every night, you alone
You're the love of my life
Everyday, every night, you alone,
You're the love of my life
We go dancing in the moonlight
With the starlight in your eyes
We go dancing 'till the sunrise
You and me we're gonna dance, dance, dance
The lyrics of Santana/Dave Matthews/Carter Beauford's song Love Of My Life expresses the deep love and intense connection between two people. The singer expresses that wherever his beloved goes, he wants to be there with her, and he wants to see everything through her eyes. She is his dream in the night, and she means everything to him. She is the love of his life, and the very breath in his prayers. All he needs is her, and he wants her to take his hand and lead him wherever she goes. Their love is so intense that they become one, and with her, he feels free.
The second verse of the song further highlights the singer's intense love for his beloved. He cannot forget the taste of her mouth, and it seems like heaven pours out of her lips. When they are together, they become one, and he feels free. The chorus of the song repeats the fact that she is the love of his life, and he needs her by his side every moment of his life. The lyrics also describe how the couple goes dancing in the moonlight and with starlight in her eyes. They dance till the sunrise, and together they will continue to dance.

We go dancing in the moonlight
We dance together under the light of the moon
With the starlight in your eyes
When I look into your eyes, I see the stars
We go dancing 'till the sunrise
We dance through the night until the sun comes up
You and me we're gonna dance, dance, dance
We'll dance together all night long
