Canadian Sunset
Love's Radiance: Etta Jones' Canadian Sunset Revealed
Lyrics
Once I was alone
Feeling solitary
So lonely and then
Experiencing intense loneliness
You came, out of nowhere
A sudden appearance or arrival without expectation
Like the sun up from the hills
Coming into view like the rising sun
Cold, cold was the wind
Describing the coldness of the wind
Warm, warm were your lips
Contrasting the warmth of the person's lips
Out there, on that ski trail
Referencing a specific location, a ski trail
Where your kiss filled me with thrills
Expressing the excitement and intensity felt from a kiss
A weekend in Canada, a change of scene
Time spent in Canada for a change
Was the most I bargained for
Expecting only a change in surroundings, but encountering something more
And then I discovered you and in your eyes
Discovering love or deep affection through the person's eyes
I found the love that I couldn't ignore
Finding an irresistible love that couldn't be overlooked
Down, down came the sun
Describing the setting sun
Fast, fast, fast, beat my heart
Heart beating rapidly, indicating strong emotions
I knew when the sun set
Realization of an important moment
From that day, we'd never ever part
Commitment to never separate from that day forward
