Daniel O'Donnell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Although the snow covers the hopes of spring
Somewhere a hill blossoms in green and gold
And there are dreams, all that your heart can hold
Someday we'll meet again, my love
Someday whenever the spring breaks through
You'll come to me out of the long-ago
Till then, my sweet, think of me now and then
Godspeed, my love, till you are mine again
Someday we'll meet again, my love
I said "someday whenever that spring breaks through"
You'll come to me out of the long-ago
Warm as the wind, and as soft as the kiss of snow
Till then, my sweet, think of me now and then
Godspeed, my love, till you are mine again!
The lyrics to Daniel O'Donnell's "Lara's Theme" describe a longing for a loved one who is far away.

The singer imagines a hill "blossom[ing] in green and gold," representing the eventual renewal of life and love.
The lyrics then turn to a specific person, with the singer imagining their reunion: "Someday we'll meet again, my love. Someday whenever the spring breaks through." The singer expresses how much they miss the person, asking them to think of them "now and then" until they can be reunited. The song ends with the repeated phrase "Godspeed, my love, till you are mine again," emphasizing the longing and distance between the two lovers.
Overall, "Lara's Theme" is a melancholy but hopeful love song about the endurance of love and the promise of eventual reunion despite separation.

In some place out there, my beloved, there are melodies waiting to be sung.

Godspeed, my love, till you are mine again!
I wish you well on your journey, my beloved, until the day we are reunited once more.
