Pledging My Love
The Starlite Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've got your family and they need you there
Though I've tried to resist being last on your list
But no other man's gonna do
So I'm saving all my love for you
It's not very easy living all alone
My friends try and tell me find a man of my own
'Cause I'd rather be home feeling blue
So I'm saving all my love for you
You used to tell me we'd run away together
Love gives you the right to be free
You said be patient just wait a little longer
But that's just an old fantasy
I've got to get ready just a few minutes more
Gonna get that old feeling when you walk through that door
'Cause tonight is the night for feeling alright
We'll be making love the whole night through
So I'm saving all my love for you
Yes I'm saving all my love
Yes I'm saving all my love for you
No other woman is gonna love you more
'Cause tonight is the night that I'm feeling alright
We'll be making love the whole night through
So I'm saving all my love
Yeah I'm saving all my lovin'
Yes I'm saving all my love for you
For you
The lyrics of "All of You" by The Starlite Orchestra describe a woman who is in love with a man who is committed to his family. She knows that she is not his top priority, but she cannot help saving all of her love for him. Despite her friends' advice to move on and find someone else, she cannot help but wait for him to come home and feel that old, familiar feeling. She recalls how he had promised to run away with her someday, but she now knows that it is just an old fantasy. The woman is now just hoping for a few stolen moments with the man she loves and is willing to wait as long as it takes for him to come home.
The song is a bittersweet reminder of the heartache that comes with loving someone who cannot reciprocate your feelings fully. The lyrics are beautifully written and evoke a sense of longing and hopelessness that many people can relate to. The woman loves the man but knows that their relationship will never be more than a few stolen moments, and she is willing to accept that reality and wait for him to come home. The song is a classic example of a love song that captures the complexities of human emotions and relationships.

A few stolen moments is all that we share
Our relationship is limited and secretive due to your commitment to your family
You've got your family and they need you there
Your family is your main priority and I understand and respect that
Though I've tried to resist being last on your list
I have attempted to prioritize our relationship, but understand that your family comes first
But no other man's gonna do
I only want to be with you, no one else will do
So I'm saving all my love for you
I am holding all of my feelings and emotions for you because you are worth it
It's not very easy living all alone
Living alone without someone to love and care for is difficult
My friends try and tell me find a man of my own
My friends encourage me to seek out a relationship with someone else
But each time I try I just break down and cry
I am unable to move on from my love for you and it makes me emotional
'Cause I'd rather be home feeling blue
I prefer to be alone and sad at home than with someone else who is not you
You used to tell me we'd run away together
In the past, you made promises of leaving with me to be together
Love gives you the right to be free
Love should allow for freedom and the ability to make choices without judgement
You said be patient just wait a little longer
You urged me to be patient and wait a little while longer for us to be together
But that's just an old fantasy
Those promises are now distant and unattainable dreams
I've got to get ready just a few minutes more
I am preparing myself for your arrival
Gonna get that old feeling when you walk through that door
I will experience the same familiar emotions I always do when you arrive
'Cause tonight is the night for feeling alright
Tonight is the night we will feel good and be happy together
We'll be making love the whole night through
Our night will consist of intimate moments together
Yes I'm saving all my love for you
I am still holding my love and emotions for you because you are worth it
No other woman is gonna love you more
I know that I love you more than any other woman ever could
Yeah I'm saving all my lovin'
I am holding back all of my love
Yes I'm saving all my love for you
I am still saving my love and emotions for you because you are worth it
For you
All of my love and emotions are for you, and only you
