The Thrill is Gone
Love's Fading Echo: Sarah Vaughan's Soulful Reflections
Lyrics
The thrill is gone
The excitement and joy in the relationship have faded.
The thrill is gone away
The thrill has completely disappeared.
The thrill is gone baby
Expressing the absence of excitement in a romantic context.
The thrill is gone away
Reiterating the loss of thrill and passion.
You know you done me wrong baby
Indicating that the partner has caused harm or betrayal.
And you'll be sorry someday
Predicting remorse from the partner in the future.
The thrill is gone
Repeating the theme of the vanished excitement in the relationship.
It's gone away from me
Highlighting the personal impact of losing the thrill.
The thrill is gone baby
Re-emphasizing the departure of the thrill from the narrator's life.
The thrill is gone away from me
Affirming the absence of excitement in the narrator's experience.
Although, I'll still live on
Despite the loss, the narrator expresses a commitment to continue living.
But so lonely I'll be
Conveying the loneliness resulting from the vanished thrill.
The thrill is gone
Repeating the theme of the disappeared excitement.
It's gone away for good
Stating that the thrill is gone permanently.
The thrill is gone baby
Emphasizing the irreversibility of the thrill's absence.
It's gone away for good
Confirming the permanent loss of excitement.
Someday I know I'll be open armed baby
Expressing hope for a future where the narrator is open-hearted again.
Just like I know a good man should
Comparing the narrator's future openness to the qualities of a good person.
You know I'm free, free now baby
Declaring freedom from the partner's influence.
I'm free from your spell
Reiterating the newfound freedom from the partner's spell.
Oh I'm free, free, free now
Emphasizing the freedom gained from the past enchantment.
I'm free from your spell
Reinforcing the idea of being liberated from the partner's spell.
And now that it's all over
Acknowledging the end of the relationship and expressing good wishes for the partner.
All I can do is wish you well
Concluding with a well-wishing sentiment for the former partner.
