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 feat Dave Matthews's song Love Of My Life speak of a love that is so deep and true that it transcends space and time.

The chorus echoes this sentiment as the singer proclaims their loved one as the "love of my life" and the very breath in their prayers. They long for their partner to take their hand and lead them to where they need to be - which is right beside them.
The lyrics capture the essence of being enamored with someone to the extent that they are everything you have ever wanted. The love that the singer has with their partner has allowed them to experience freedom from any and all limitations, a freedom that only comes from being together. The song also speaks to the passion that exists between the two people. The singer cannot forget the taste of their partner's mouth, which provides a glimpse into the intimacy and closeness that they share together. The song overall is a heartfelt declaration of love and profound affection that transcends all boundaries.

You and me we're gonna dance, dance, dance
We will continue to dance together and enjoy every moment we have with each other
