That's All
Eternal Love and Simple Pleasures: Steve Tyrell's 'That's All' Meaning
Lyrics
I can only give you love that lasts forever
I can only offer enduring love
And a promise to be near each time you call
A commitment to be there whenever you need
And the only heart I own, for you and you alone
My heart belongs exclusively to you
That's all, that's all
This is the extent of what I can provide
I can only give you country walks in springtime
I can provide simple joys like walks in spring
And a hand to hold when leaves begin to fall
A comforting presence as nature changes
And a love whose burning light will warm the winter's night
A love with a warmth that can dispel winter's cold
That's all, that's all
Reiterating the limitations of what I can offer
There are those, I am sure who have told you
Acknowledging that others may promise grand things
They would give you the world for a toy
Material offerings that may seem attractive
All I have are these arms to enfold you
Expressing what I truly possess - my embrace and enduring love
And a love time can never destroy
A love that transcends the passage of time
If you're wondering what I'm asking in return, dear
Asking for reciprocation, but with modest expectations
You'll be glad to know that my demands are small
Stating that my desires are not extravagant
Say it's me that you'll adore for now and ever more
Requesting love and adoration, emphasizing simplicity
That's all, that's all
Reiterating the limited scope of my requests
If you're wondering what I'm asking in return, dear
Restating the modest nature of my desires
You'll be glad to know that my demands are small
Ensuring you understand the simplicity of my requests
Say it's me that you'll adore for now and ever more
Reaffirming the desire for your love for all time
That's all, that's all
Emphasizing once more the limited expectations
