All my life
The Benny Goodman Trio Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, there's a lull in my life
It's just a void and empty space
When you are not in my embrace
Oh, there's a lull In my life
The moment that you go away
There is no night, there is no day
The clock stops ticking
The world stops turning

Everything stops but the flame in my heart
That keeps burning, burning
Oh, oh, oh
There's a lull In my life

No matter how I may pretend
I know that you alone can end
