What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life
A Lifetime of Love: Unveiling the Meaning in San Glaser's Melodic Tapestry
Lyrics
What are you doing the rest of your life
Asking about the plans for the future
North and South and
Referring to different directions and aspects of life
East and West of your life
Emphasizing the entirety of one's life
I have only one request of your life
Making a single request for the future
That you spend it all with me
Expressing a desire for lifelong companionship
All the seasons and the times of your days
Symbolizing the various stages and moments in life
Are the nickels and the dimes of your days
Highlighting the small and everyday aspects of life
Let the reasons and the rhymes of your days
Encouraging a life guided by shared reasons and experiences
All begin and end with me
Stating that everything should revolve around the speaker
I want to see your face in every kind of light
Expressing a desire to witness the partner in various situations
In fields of gold and forests of the night
Describing idyllic and romantic settings
And when you stand
Imagining a celebratory moment
Before the candles on a cake
Wanting to share in the partner's thoughts and wishes
Oh, let me be the one to hear
Offering to be a confidant in moments of silent contemplation
The silent wish you make
Expressing a desire to be part of the partner's secret desires
Those tomorrows waiting deep in your eyes
Referring to the future moments embedded in the partner's gaze
In a world of love you keep in your eyes
Describing a world of love reflected in the partner's eyes
I'll awaken what's asleep in your eyes
Promising to awaken dormant feelings in the partner
It may take a kiss or two
Suggesting that a kiss or two may be needed to achieve this
Through all of my life
Expressing commitment throughout the speaker's life
Summer, winter, spring and fall of my life
Referencing all the seasons symbolizing the entirety of life
All I ever will recall of my life
Recalling a lifetime spent with the partner
Is all my life with you
Affirming a commitment to spend a lifetime together
