You Were Loved
Wynonna Judd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We all want our voices to be heard.
Everyone wants a chance to be someone;
We all have dreams we need to dream,
But sweeter than any star you can reach
Is when you reach and find you've found someone.
You'll hold this world's most priceless thing,
The greatest gift this life can bring,
You were loved.
You were loved by someone,
Touched by someone,
Held by someone,
Meant something to someone,
Loved somebody,
Touched somebody's heart along the way.
You can look back and say,
You were loved.
You can have diamonds in your hand,
Have all the riches in the land,
Without love do you really have a thing.
When someone cares that you're alive,
When someone finds their world in your eyes,
Then you'll know you've found all you need.
You'll hold this world's most priceless prize,
The sweetest treasure in this life,
If you can look back and know
You were loved.
You were loved by someone,
Touched by someone,
Held by someone,
Meant something to someone,
Loved somebody,
Touched somebody's heart along the way.
You can look back and say,
You were loved.
So many roads that you can take,
Whatever way you go,
Don't take that road alone.
Better you know....
You were loved by someone,
Touched by someone,
Held by someone,
Meant something to someone,
Loved somebody,
Touched somebody's heart along the way.
You can look back and say,
You did OK
You were loved.
So remember to tell that one,
You are loved.

The lyrics also focus on the idea that having someone who cares that you are alive, someone who finds the world in your eyes, is what makes life worth living. Judd sings, "When someone cares that you're alive, when someone finds their world in your eyes, then you'll know you've found all you need. You'll hold this world's most priceless prize, the sweetest treasure in this life if you can look back and know you were loved."

I think about so many of my loved ones who have passed over the past few years but especially my brother. We didn't have the best relationship growing up then I found out after he passed that he wanted to make a better relationship with me but he was already gone. I know he's still with me. I love you Jr. You were are and always will be loved.... I try so hard not to cry and when I'm around others I'm fine and can manage buy when I'm alone I lose it because I think about all of my loved ones especially around the holidays. This song has gotten me through so much. Please to everyone reading this make sure you tell your loved ones that you love them because tomorrow isn't promised to any of us....
