Love Is A Many Splendored Thing
101 Strings Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's the April rose that only grows in the early Spring
Love is nature's way of giving a reason to be living
The golden crown that makes a man a king
Once on a high and windy hill, In the morning mist
Two lovers kissed and the world stood still
Then your fingers touched my silent heart and taught it how to sing
Yes, true love's a many splendored thing
Love is a many splendored thing
It's the April rose that only grows in the early Spring
Love is nature's way of giving a reason to be living
The golden crown that makes a man a king
Once on a high and windy hill, In the morning mist
Two lovers kissed and the world stood still
Then your fingers touched my silent heart and taught it how to sing
Yes, true love's a many splendored thing
The lyrics of 101 Strings' Love Is A Many Splendored Thing explore the beauty and power of love. The opening line, "Love is a many splendored thing," suggests that love is multifaceted and has many different aspects that make it beautiful. The comparison with the April rose that only grows in the early spring further reinforces this idea, as the rose is a symbol of beauty that is fleeting and must be appreciated while it lasts. The line "Love is nature's way of giving a reason to be living" implies that love is an essential part of life that gives us a sense of purpose and meaning. Finally, the lyric "The golden crown that makes a man a king" suggests that love can elevate us, and that when we are in love, we feel powerful and important.
The second verse of the song expands on the theme of love as a transformative force. The image of two lovers kissing on a high and windy hill, and the world standing still, suggests that when we are in love, everything else fades away and we are completely focused on our partner. The line "Then your fingers touched my silent heart and taught it how to sing" reinforces this idea, as it suggests that love can awaken something within us that was previously dormant or silent. Finally, the repetition of the line "Yes, true love's a many splendored thing" at the end of each verse drives home the message that love is complex, beautiful, and powerful.
