All @ Once
Whitney Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I finally took a moment
And I'm realizing that
You're not coming back
And it's finally hit me all at once
All at once I've started counting teardrops
And at least a million fell
My eyes began to swell
Ever since I met you
You're the only love I've known
And I can't forget you
Though I must face it all alone
All at once I'm drifting on a lonely sea
Wishing you'd come back to me
And that's all that matters now
All at once I'm drifting on a lonely sea
Holding on to memories
And it's hurt me more than you know
So much more than it shows
All at once
All at once I looked around and found that you were
With another love
In someone else's arms
And all my dreams were shattered all at once
All at once the smile that used to greet me
Brightened someone else's day
She took your smile away
And left me with just memories all at once
Ever since I met you
You're the only love I've known
And I can't forget you
Though I must face it all alone
All at once I'm drifting on a lonely sea
Wishing you'd come back to me
And that's all that matters now
All at once I'm drifting on a lonely sea
Holding on to memories
And it's hurt me more than you know
So much more than it shows
All at once
All at once I'm drifting on a lonely sea
Wishing you'd come back to me
And it's hurt me more than you know
So much more than it shows
All at once
And that's all that matters now
All at once I'm drifting on a lonely sea
Wishing you'd come back to me
And it's hurt me more than you know
So much more

All at once
Suddenly and unexpectedly
I finally took a moment
I paused to reflect
And I'm realizing that
I am becoming aware that
You're not coming back
You have left and are not returning
And it's finally hit me all at once
I suddenly understood the full impact of the situation
All at once I've started counting teardrops
Suddenly I began to count the tears I have cried
And at least a million fell
I have cried an immense amount
My eyes began to swell
My eyes got red, puffy and swollen due to crying
And all my dreams were shattered all at once
Suddenly all of my hopes and wishes were destroyed
Ever since I met you
Since the time I first encountered you
You're the only love I've known
You are the single person I have loved
And I can't forget you
I am unable to erase you from my memory
Though I must face it all alone
Even though I have to confront this situation by myself
All at once I'm drifting on a lonely sea
Suddenly I am lost and alone
Wishing you'd come back to me
Hoping that you would return to me
And that's all that matters now
That is the only thing of importance to me at this moment
Holding on to memories
I am clinging to the memories of our time together
And it's hurt me more than you know
The pain and sadness I am feeling is more intense than others can comprehend
So much more than it shows
The depth of my sorrow can not be fully seen on the surface
All at once the smile that used to greet me
Suddenly the happy expression I was accustomed to seeing from you
Brightened someone else's day
Made another person feel happy and content
She took your smile away
She is the reason for the absence of the once-cheerful expression on your face
And left me with just memories all at once
Suddenly and without warning, all I have left are the recollections of our time together
