Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Como si fuera esta noche la última vez
Bésame, bésame mucho
Que tengo miedo a perderte, perderte después
Bésame, bésame mucho
Como si fuera esta noche la última vez
Bésame, bésame mucho
Que tengo miedo a perderte, perderte después
Quiero tenerte muy cerca
Mirarme en tus ojos, verte junto a mí
Piensa que tal vez mañana
Yo ya estaré lejos, muy lejos de ti
Bésame, bésame mucho
Como si fuera esta noche la última vez
Oh, bésame, bésame mucho
Que tengo miedo a perderte, perderte después
Bésame, bésame mucho
Each time I cling to your kiss I hear music divine
Oh, bésame, bésame mucho
Hold me, my darling, and say that you'll always be mine
This joy is something new, my arms enfolding you
Never knew this thrill before
Whoever thought I'd be holding you close to me
Whispering it's you I adore
Dearest one, if you should leave me
Well, each little dream would take wing and my life would be through
Oh-oh-oh, bésame, bésame mucho
Love me forever, make all my dreams come true
Now, love me forever, make all my dreams come true

"Shannon, were you rushing or dragging?!" Jokes aside, this album probably has my favorite big band of all time. They are beasts and I re-watch the live set from this tour constantly. I'm a fan of big bands that go all out like this (reminds me of my DCI days) and another favorite of mine was the GRP All-Star Big Band that was assembled around the same time this album came out in the early 90's.
Shannon Powell is just incredible on this track and this album (I was only 10 when it came out) is what inspired me to practice every day and I'm so grateful that my high school music program had a jazz class I could take.

This album came out when I was in high school and ignited a love for traditional big band swing in me. I practiced the trumpet parts for this more than I practiced our jazz band music! Harry is my favorite jazz singer. I wish he would produce a new CD of original big band music.

I love Harry Connick Jr and Blue Light Red Light is the album I grew up with. Blue Light Red Light is one of my favorite albums since forever. Now Harry Connick hasn't done much in a while I sure miss his voice. Hope he comes out with a new album someday.
