Moment of Truth
Embracing Destiny: Sarah Vaughan's Moment of Truth
Lyrics
If you hear music when he's near you
If you feel a musical connection when he's close
And Christmas comes every day of the year
Comparing the joy of being with him to the happiness of Christmas every day
Then you must know why it's the first clue
Recognizing the significance of this connection as the initial indication
That the moment of truth is near
Anticipating that a crucial moment of truth is approaching
If every time he glances your way
When his gaze causes a multitude of bells to ring in your mind
A million bells start to ring loud and clear
Describing the intensity and clarity of the emotional response
And after one kiss, you yell "Mayday"
After a single kiss, realizing the urgency of the situation ("Mayday")
Then the moment of truth is near
Affirming that the impending moment of truth is imminent
There will come a day when he looks at you
Foreshadowing a day when he deeply affects and captivates you
Thrills you through and through
Expressing the overwhelming thrill experienced in his presence
And calls your name
His acknowledgment of you by calling your name
That will be the day when you say "I do"
Signifying the day you commit to marriage ("I do")
'Cause you've discovered that you'vе grown
Realizing that you are tired of the emotional "game"
Tired of playing the game
Choosing commitment over the uncertainties of playing the field
And thеn you both know
Mutual understanding that scheming and games are over
You're through scheming
Referencing a song ("Oh, Promise Me") echoing promises
"Oh, Promise Me" starts to sing in your ear
Auditory confirmation of the commitment in your ear
You're wide awake, girl
Being fully aware and conscious, not in a dream state
You're not dreaming
Acknowledging the reality of the commitment
'Cause when you say "I do" the moment
Declaring that saying "I do" is the decisive moment of truth
Of truth at last is here
Confirming that the awaited moment of truth has arrived
There will come a day when he looks at you
Reiterating the description of a significant day of connection
Thrills you through and through
Experiencing intense thrills and emotions in his presence
And calls your name
His acknowledgment of you, similar to a prior moment
That will be the day when you say "I do"
Reaffirming the commitment to marriage ("I do")
'Cause you've discovered that you've grown
Recognizing personal growth and readiness for commitment
Tired of playing the game
Being tired of the emotional challenges of dating
And then you both know
Mutual understanding that games and scheming are over
You're through scheming
Referencing the song ("Oh, Promise Me") and its promises
"Oh, Promise Me" starts to sing in your ear
Auditory confirmation of the commitment, repeating a theme
You're wide awake, girl
Being fully conscious and awake, emphasizing reality
You're not dreaming
Acknowledging that the commitment is not a dream
'Cause when you say "I do" the moment
Reiterating that saying "I do" marks the conclusive moment of truth
Of truth at last is here, yeah
Affirming that the awaited moment of truth has finally arrived
