To Ev'ry Girl-To Ev'ry Boy (The Meaning of Love) Johnnie Ray Words and
music by Jerry Samuels and Barry Parker
To ev'ry girl, to ev'ry
boy, Whose empty heart has known no joy, This emptiness is part of your
love story, Till you know the meaning of love. To ev'ry one who feels
afraid, It's only Life that's on parade And Life may bring you tears, in
place of glory, Till you know the meaning of love. There may be
pain, There may be misery, All this may be, Along with
ecstacy, Don't think these things are far above you, It's always so, when
someone loves you. Your day will come, Your eyes will shine And you will
cry, "This love is mine!" And suddenly your heart will tell you, You know
the meaning of love!
