All My Life
Susan Lucci Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They say that falling love is wonderful
It's wonderful, so they say
And with the moon up above, it's wonderful
It's wonderful, so they tell me

I can't recall who said it
I know I've never read it
I only know they tell me that love is grand, and
The thing that's known as romance
Is wonderful, wonderful
In every way, so they say

To leave your house some morning
And without any warning, you're stopping people,
Shouting that love is grand, and




To hold a man in your arms is wonderful, wonderful
In every way, so they say

The fact that she cannot remember who said it or where she read it implies that it is a popular belief, yet it may not be entirely true. She is curious about it, and she daydreams about the possibility of running out of her house and telling random people about the beauty of love. Ultimately, the song shows that despite the uncertainty and ambiguity that surround love, the singer is open to experiencing it and seeing for herself whether it is wonderful.
