'Cause I Have You
Wynn Stewart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A river needs the rains to make it flow
A clinging vine needs something to cling to
But I have all I need cause I have you
Before we met my life was one sad song
But you changed all that the day you came along
For a true love song needs inspiration too
[ steel ]
Arms need more than arms to hold on to
And lips need other lips to make dreams come true
Two hearts in love will always beat in two
And our hearts beat as one since I have you
Before we met...
Wynn Stewart's song 'Cause I Have You' is a beautiful and heartfelt love song in which the singer expresses his gratitude for his partner's love and support. The lyrics are metaphoric and convey the idea that just like a flower needs the earth and a river needs the rains to grow and flow, a person also needs someone or something to hold onto and feel loved. The singer says that he is fortunate to have someone like his partner in his life who is his support and inspiration.
The first verse of the song explains that even though a flower needs the earth to grow and a river needs the rain for its flow, and a vine needs something to cling onto, he has all he needs because he has his partner’s love. In the second verse, the singer sings about how his life before he met his partner was like a sad song lacking inspiration, but after they came along, everything changed. With his partner's love, he found inspiration and meaning in his life. The third verse talks about how a person needs more than just arms to hold onto and lips to make dreams come true. Two hearts beating as one is all we need just like the singer has found in his partner.
Overall, the song expresses the different ways in which one can find happiness, meaning and inspiration in life, and it beautifully portrays the love and gratitude one feels when they have someone special in their life.

Wynn was a marvelous singer who was taken from us way too soon! Wish I had a copy of this album, but haven't been able to find it anywhere.
