Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Something heavenly led me to you
Look at the sky
It's the color of love
There must have been an angel by my side
Something heavenly came down from above
He led me to you
He built a bridge to your heart
All the way
How many tons of love inside
I can't say
When I was led to you
I knew you were the one for me
I swear the whole world could feel my heartbeat
When I lay eyes on you
Ay ay ay
You wrapped me up in
The color of love
You gave me the kiss of life
Kiss of life
You gave me the kiss that's like
The kiss of life
Wasn't it clear from the start
Look the sky is full of love
Yeah the sky is full of love
You gave me the kiss of life
Kiss of life
You gave me the kiss that's like
The kiss of life
You gave me the kiss of life
Kiss of life
You gave me the kiss that's like
The kiss of life
You wrapped me up in the color of love
Must have been an angel came down from above
Giving me love yeah
Giving me love yeah
You gave me the kiss of life
Kiss of life
You gave me the kiss of life
Kiss of life
The Abyssinians' interpretation of Sade's "Kiss of Life" highlights the idea that there was some kind of divine intervention that led them to their true love. They start by referencing an angel that must have been by their side, leading them to the person who completes them. This angel built a bridge to their heart, allowing them to connect with their true love at a deep, emotional level.
The lyrics go on to describe how the sight of the person they're destined to be with fills them with a sense of love and euphoria that they can't explain. When they were led to this person, they knew that they had found their soulmate, and their entire being is consumed by the joy of that discovery. They use imagery like the color of the sky to represent the powerful emotions that love can inspire.
