As
Stevie Wonder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the rosebuds know to bloom in early may
Just as hate knows love's the cure
You can rest your mind assure
That I'll be loving you always
As now can't reveal the mystery of tomorrow
But in passing will grow older every day
You know what I say is true
That I'll be loving you always
(Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky)
Always
(Until the ocean covers every mountain high)
Always
(Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea)
Always
(Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream)
Did you know that true love asks for nothing
No no her acceptance is the way we pay
Did you know that life has given love a guarantee
To last through forever and another day
Just as time knew to move on since the beginning
And the seasons know exactly when to change
Just as kindness knows no shame
Know through all your joy and pain
That I'll be loving you always
As today I know I'm living
But tomorrow could make me the past
But that I mustn't fear
For I'll know deep in my mind
The love of me I've left behind
'Cause I'll be loving you always
(Until the day is night and night becomes the day)
Always
(Until the trees and seas just up and fly away)
Always
(Until the day that eight times eight times eight is four)
Always
(Until the day that is the day that are no more)
Did you know you're loved by somebody
(Until the day the earth starts turnin' right to left)
Always
(Until the earth just for the sun denies itself)
I'll be lovin' you forever
(Until dear mother nature says her work is through)
Always
(Until the day that you are me and I am you)
Always
(Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky
Until the ocean severs every mountain high)
Always mm mm
We all know sometimes life hates and troubles
Can make you wish you were born in another time and space
But you can bet your lifetimes that and twice it's double
That God knew exactly where he wanted you to be placed
So make sure when you say you're in it, but not of it
You're not helpin' to make this earth
A place sometimes called hell
Change your words into truths
And then change that truth into love
And maybe our children's grandchildren
And their great grandchildren will tell
I'll be loving you until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky
The song βAsβ by Stevie Wonder is a beautiful ode to love that will last an eternity. The opening lyrics βAs around the sun the earth knows sheβs revolving / And the rosebuds know to bloom in early Mayβ are a reference to the natural cycles of life, and how all living things have an innate sense of when to start blooming or rotating. The singer is saying that just as these things will continue to happen, he will likewise always love the person he is addressing. The line βJust as hate knows loveβs the cure,β is a deep observation about the nature of love, and how it can triumph over any negative emotions that may arise.
The second verse speaks more about the nature of time, and how everything in life has a natural progression that cannot be stopped. The singer reaffirms his love, saying βYou know what I say is true / That I'll be loving you always.β The bridge, βDid you know that true love asks for nothing / No no her acceptance is the way we pay / Did you know that life has given love a guarantee / To last through forever and another day,β is a beautiful affirmation of the power of love, and the fact that it is all-encompassing and eternal. The final verse speaks to the idea that life can be unpredictable, and how no one knows what the future holds. However, the singer says that even in death, he will still love the person he is addressing, proving that love truly can conquer all.

Be present in the moment, but don't get too caught up in the difficulties of life
You're not helpin' to make this earth
If you dwell on the negative, you will only contribute to a negative world
A place sometimes called hell
Focusing on the negative can make life feel like a living hell
Change your words into truths
Use positive language to create a positive reality
And then change that truth into love
Transform your positivity into love for yourself and those around you
And maybe our children's grandchildren
Perhaps even our distant descendants will feel the positive impact of our love
And their great grandchildren will tell
The legacy of our love will be passed down through the generations
I'll be loving you until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky
My love for you is limitless and eternal
