All Thru The Night
Cyndi Lauper Lyrics

We have no past, we won't reach back

All through the night
Stray cat is crying so stray cat sings back
All through the night
They have forgotten what binding they lack
Oh under those white street lamps
There is a little chance they may see

We have no past, we won't reach back
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends, there is no end

Oh the sleep in your eyes is enough
Let me be there, let me stay there awhile

We have no past, we won't reach back
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends there is no end
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks

And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends there is no end

The lyrics of Cyndi Lauper's "All Through the Night" convey the essence of a passionate commitment to being with someone through thick and thin. The song is rich in metaphors that symbolize resilience, connection, and affinity. The lyrics start off with the singer affirming the decision to stay awake through the night to be with her love. She describes the time as "precious" because it's a new beginning, free of any baggage from the past. The lyrics then proceed to emphasize the importance of staying together and moving forward, as reflected in the lines: "We have no past, we won't reach back. Keep with me forward all through the night." The meter of the song clicks as the night progresses, signifying the continuity of the commitment. The singer acknowledges that there might not be an end to their journey.

The second verse of the song shifts its focus from the couple to a stray cat that's crying in the night. The singer notes that the cat lacks a familiart home but sings anyways. The cat's song can be seen as emblematic of the singers' journey, as they forge ahead without any guarantees, but with a sense of determination. As the song approaches its end, the singer points out how even the sleep in her lover's eyes is enough for her to remain by their side. The chorus repeats itself twice, driving home the message that the commitment is unwavering and that the meter of the night runs indefinitely.

All through the night
I will be awake and sticking with you throughout the night.

I'll be awake and I'll be with you
I will stay awake with you by your side.

This precious time when time is new
This moment is priceless as this is a new experience for us.

Oh, all through the night today
Oh, we will be together all night long today.

Knowing that we feel the same without saying
Although we may not express it in words, we are aware of our mutual feelings.

We have no past, we won't reach back
We don't have any history or regrets to hold us back.

Keep with me forward all through the night
Stay with me and move forward together throughout the night.

And once we start the meter clicks
Once we begin, time starts ticking away.

And it goes running all through the night
Our experience will continue throughout the night without interruption.

Until it ends, there is no end
As long as it lasts, there is no definitive ending.

Stray cat is crying so stray cat sings back
A stray cat cries and another one responds with its own song.

They have forgotten what binding they lack
The cats are unaware of their lack of connection.

Oh under those white street lamps
Under the illumination of the white street lamps.

There is a little chance they may see
There is a small possibility that they may notice one another.

Oh the sleep in your eyes is enough
Your tired eyes are all I need to see to know you're content.

Let me be there, let me stay there awhile
Allow me to remain there by your side for a little longer.
