Till We Two Are One
Eddy Howard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take my lips and give me yours
Take my arms and give me yours
Take my heart and give me yours
Till we two are one
Just one kiss if we should dare
Just one love for us to share
Till we two are one
There could be heavenly
Dreams we take and give for
Thrillingly, willingly
Moments that we live for
[Chorus]
MM MM MM, and give me yours
MM MM MM and give me your
There could be heavenly
Dreams we take and give for
Thrillingly, willingly
Moments that we live for
[Chorus]
The lyrics of Eddy Howard's "Till We Two Are One" depict a romantic yearning for two souls to unite completely in every sense, emphasizing the longing for physical and emotional intimacy. The chorus repeats a plea to exchange everything that makes them who they are in exchange for achieving an unbreakable union – they should take each other's lips, arms, and hearts until they’re no longer two, but one. This intense desire for oneness is further punctuated by the verses that highlight the beauty of the moments they can share together, highlighting the tantalizing dreams and thrilling moments they could experience with one another.
The song's overall theme closely aligns with what one might call the traditional ideas of love and marriage, as they present a picture of idealized romance, where two hearts become one. However, the theme is more than a romantic ideal. The very idea of merging with another person and giving up one's own identity represents a profound vulnerability, demonstrating the courage and dedication that it takes to make a relationship work.
Interestingly, the song is also notable for its relatively unconventional structure, with no distinct bridge or instrumental solo sections, following a straightforward AABA pattern instead. But despite this, the song remains a classic ballad and an excellent example of high-class adult pop music, with gorgeous harmonies, big-band instruments, and Eddy Howard's crooning voice that breathe life into the song.
