Everything to me

"...It'd be like taking the sun from the sky
I'd probably die without you in my life..."
Everything to me-Monica

This song, Everything to me by Monica is very nurturing and soft. Throughout the song she has a few similes and metaphors. It's not ambiguous at all, she directly points out what and who the poem is about. In the few lines above she uses "like taking the sun from the sky..." that is completely impossible but she compares that to taking him out of her life, impossible. When she sings the song, she breaks down her lyrics into stanzas as well.



Boy if you ever left my,
My side,
It'd be like taking the sun from
The sky
I'd probably die without
You in
My life
Cause I need you to
Shine, shine
Your light
Oooohhhhhhh

You're everything to me, heey
The air that I breathe, oohhh
a sign so I'll see, oh Lord
You're everything to me

I can't repay you for all that you've done
Always come first and second to none
The love that you give me is equal to ten
My peace, my joy
You are my
My strength, ooohhhh

You're everything to me, whoa
The air that I breathe, ooooohhh
a sign so I'll see, ohhh that
You're everything to me

(Boy I never thought) Never thought I'd feel a love like this
Better than our first date
Sweeter than our first kiss (and you)
Ain't no other person for me
You're my best friend
My lover
(Baby you're) My everything

You're everything to me, whoa
The air that I breathe, ooooohhh
My sight, so I see, oh
You're everything to me

I need you, I need you, I need you...

  1. Good work, Geanell. This love song, like most love songs, uses a great deal of hyperbole as well.
