Looking at the pages of my life
Faded memories of me and you
Mistakes you know I’ve made a few
I took some shots and fell from time to time
Baby, you were there to pull me through
We’ve been around the block a time or two
I’m gonna lay it on the line
Ask me how we’ve come this far
The answer’s written in my eyes
Every time I look at you, baby, I see something new
That takes me higher than before and makes me want you more
I don’t wanna sleep tonight, dreaming’s just a waste of time
When I look at what my life’s been coming to
I’m all about loving you
I’ve lived, I’ve loved, I’ve lost, I’ve paid some dues, baby
We’ve been to hell and back again
Through it all you’re always my best friend
For all the words I didn’t say and all the things I didn’t do
Tonight I’m gonna find a way
Every time I look at you, baby, I see something new
That takes me higher than before and makes me want you more
I don’t wanna sleep tonight, dreaming’s just a waste of time
When I look at what my life’s been coming to
I’m all about loving you
You can take this world away
You’re everything I am
Just read the lines upon my face
I’m all about loving you
Every time I look at you, baby, I see something new
That takes me higher than before and makes me want you more
I don’t wanna sleep tonight, dreaming’s just a waste of time
When I look at what my life’s been coming to
I’m all about loving you
All about loving you
A Testament to Enduring Love
“All About Loving You” by Bon Jovi is a heartfelt reflection on the journey of love, resilience, and devotion. The lyrics chronicle a relationship that has weathered mistakes and hardships, yet remains strong through unwavering support and mutual growth. The narrator openly acknowledges past faults but finds redemption in the steady affection of a partner who has always been there. Each time he looks at his loved one, he finds renewed inspiration and a deeper connection, suggesting that true love is not static but continually evolving and deepening over time.
Finding Meaning in Every Moment
The song emphasizes the importance of living in the present, cherishing real experiences over dreams or regrets. The repeated declaration of being “all about loving you” serves as both a confession and a celebration of love’s capacity to shape and define a person’s life. Through honest self-examination and gratitude, the song delivers a universal message: love is the foundation that endures through all of life’s ups and downs.
