All My Loving
Love Across Distance: The Meaning Behind 'All My Loving' by The Smithereens
Lyrics
Close your eyes and I'll kiss you
Expressing a moment of intimacy, asking the listener to close their eyes for a kiss.
Tomorrow I'll miss you
Anticipating separation and expressing the sentiment of missing the person tomorrow.
Remember I'll always be true
Pledging loyalty and assuring the listener of steadfastness in the relationship.
And then while I'm away
Referring to a period of absence, suggesting physical distance.
I'll write home every day
Committing to maintaining communication by promising to write home every day.
And I'll send all my loving to you
Promise to send affectionate thoughts and emotions consistently while away.
I'll pretend that I'm kissing
Imagining a scenario where the speaker is pretending to kiss the absent person.
The lips I am missing
Expressing the emotional void created by the absence of the person.
And hope that my dreams will come true
Expressing hope that dreams of reuniting with the person will come true.
And then while I'm away
Reiterating the commitment to daily communication during the absence.
I'll write home every day
Continuing the promise to write home and maintain a connection.
And I'll send all my loving to you
Reaffirming the commitment to send love and affection despite being physically apart.
All my loving, I will send to you
Repeating the commitment to send all the speaker's love to the absent person.
All my loving, darling I'll be true
Affirming loyalty and sincerity in the speaker's love for the person.
Close your eyes and I'll kiss you
Recalling the earlier moment of intimacy and suggesting a repetition.
Tomorrow I'll miss you
Reiterating the expectation of missing the person in the future.
Remember I'll always be true
Reaffirming loyalty and commitment to the person being addressed.
And then while I'm away
Repeating the idea of maintaining communication through writing during the absence.
I'll write home every day
Continuing the commitment to sending love and affection through letters.
And I'll send all my loving to you
Reiterating the promise to send all the speaker's love to the absent person.
All my loving, I will send to you
Repeating the commitment to send all the speaker's love to the person.
All my loving, darling I'll be true
Affirming the speaker's intention to be true and loyal in their love.
All my loving, all my loving
Repeating the declaration of sending all the speaker's love to the person.
Woo, all my loving, I will send to you
An enthusiastic expression of the commitment to send all the speaker's love.
