Speak to Me of Love
Alan Jones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tonight you're mine, completely
You give your soul so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow

Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment's pleasure
Can I believe the magic in your sighs
And will you still love me tomorrow

Tonight with words unspoken
You say that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning sun

I'd like to know if your love
Is a love I can be sure of
So tell me now and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow




Will you still love me tomorrow
Will you still love me tomorrow

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Alan Jones's song Speak to Me of Love revolve around the anxiety and uncertainty of a romantic relationship. The singer is in a moment of passionate intimacy with their partner, and while they are completely consumed by the love that is being shown to them, they are also tormented by the thought of whether this love will last. The singer laments, "Is this a lasting treasure / Or just a moment's pleasure," questioning whether the love they are currently experiencing has any lasting value, or whether it is just a temporary infatuation.


Furthermore, the singer also posits the question, "Can I believe the magic in your sighs," hinting at the possibility that their partner might simply be putting on a facade of love and affection, which they might not truly feel. The lyrics continue, "And will you still love me tomorrow," signifying the uncertainty and fear of the future, and whether their partner's love will stand the test of time.


Towards the end of the song, the singer demands certainty from their lover, imploring, "So tell me now and I won't ask again / Will you still love me tomorrow." The most striking aspect of the lyrics to Speak to Me of Love is how they capture the emotional dichotomy of being swept away by love while simultaneously grappling with the fear of its impermanence.
