Monroe sang with some of the "Big Bands" of the '40s era, but his music transcended that style to become a popular radio and television personality - like Perry Como, Dean Martin, etc.
All The Time
Vaughn Monroe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From the moment that you came in view,
I could truthfully have said
"I love you."
I could see, that this was meant to be,
So if love is shining in my eyes,
It should come as no surprise.
How sweet and fresh the mornings come,
As I wake from my dream of you,
And the dream of you running through my heart,
Makes my day happy too.
Love has wings, and other magic things,
To the heavens we could climb,
If we could be together,
All The Time.
Musical repeat of a stanza. Then;
Love has wings, and other magic things,
To the heavens we could climb,
If we could be together,
All The Time
The refrain of "All The Time" by Vaughn Monroe expresses the singer’s conviction about their love. The first two lines of the song establish how the singer's love for someone has been persistent and unwavering, by saying “All The Time, I knew it All The Time.” It shows how their love has been consistent from the moment they saw the object of their affection. The singer goes on to state that they could have told the person they love that they loved them from that very first moment, signifying they knew the love was true from the beginning.
The second stanza of the song declares how the singer's love was fated to happen. They say that they knew that their love was “meant to be," underlining the importance that destiny plays in their love story. The singer then confesses that their eyes shine with love when they see this person, and they hope that it's no surprise to them. The third stanza of the song uses metaphors to describe the magic of love as a divine entity that could help us ascend to the heavens, further emphasizing the power of their love.
