Can Anyone Explain
Ames Brothers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can anyone explain the thrill of a kiss?
No, no, no
But when two eager lips
Are pressed against yours
You'll know, yes, you'll know

Can anyone explain the glow of romance?
No, no, no
But when you hear the phrase
"It's you I adore"
You'll know, yes, you'll know

And you will find
To give love a start
Don't think with your mind
Just feel with your heart

Can anyone explain the wonder of love?
No, no, no
But now that you and I
Are sharing a sigh
We know, yes, we know

And you will find
To give love a start
Don't think with your mind
Just feel with your heart

Can anyone explain the wonder of love?
No, no, no
But now that you and I




Are sharing a sigh
We know, yes, we know

The Ames Brothers had a perfect sound ! One of the best pop vocal groups to come out of the early 1950's.

@TomElvisSmith

Yes, they had a very distinct harmony.

@protoville4251

I think it was because three of them (including Ed Ames) were baritones. There was no real tenor. So the excellent bass had to sing even lower than most basses. To me, his was the identifying voice of The Ames Brothers. But they all were terrific singers.
