Long After Tonight Is Over
Eternal Echoes of Love: Dusty Springfield's Timeless Melody
Lyrics
Tonight will be for the first time
Tonight will be the first time.
I have learned what my lips are for
I have discovered the purpose of my lips.
And darling, now that I've kissed you
After kissing you, darling, I desire more kisses.
I'm craving to kiss you more
A strong craving to kiss you more.
Let me tell you long after tonight is all over
Even long after tonight is over.
Long after tonight is all gone I?ll be yours
Even after tonight has passed, I will be yours.
Forever and a day and yours, come anything that may
Forever committed to you, regardless of challenges.
You'll always be just everything to me, yeah
You will always mean everything to me.
Here in my arms when I hold you
When I hold you in my arms, the world feels like mine.
I can feel that the world is mine
A sense of ownership and connection.
Don't go away, don't you leave me
Plea for you not to leave, as it would cause eternal sadness.
Or I?ll cry ?til the end of time
The fear of crying until the end of time if you leave.
Let me tell you, long after tonight is all over
Reiteration of lasting commitment even after tonight.
Long after it?s all gone I?ll be yours
Commitment remains even after everything is gone.
Come anything that may and yours, forever and a day
Irrespective of challenges, a promise to be yours forever.
You'll always be just everything to me, yeah
Expressing the significance of the person to the speaker.
Let me tell you long after tonight is all over
Repeating the enduring commitment theme.
Long after it?s all gone I?ll be yours
The commitment persists even after everything is gone.
Forever and a day and yours, come anything that may
Assurance of forever love despite challenges.
You'll always be just everything to me, yeah
Reaffirmation of the person's importance.
Long after tonight is all over
Emphasizing the lasting nature of emotions.
Long after tonight is all over
Repeating the idea of enduring feelings.
After it?s over and done, yeah
After all is over and done, emphasizing the persistence of emotions.
After it?s over and done, hey, boy, yeah
Repetition of the theme, suggesting a strong emotional impact.
After it?s gone, hey, yeah after it's gone
Even after it's gone, the emotions remain.
