No More
Elvis Presley [1961] (Blue Hawaii) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No more feel the tender kisses we used to share
I close my eyes and clearly my heart remembers
A thousand goodbyes could never put out the embers
[Chorus]
Darling, I love you so and my heart forever
Will belong to the memory of the love that we knew before
Come to me; let's be sweethearts again and then let us part no moree
No more do I feel the touch of your hand on mine
No more see the love-light making your dark eyes shine
Oh, how I wish I never had caused you sorrow
But don't ever say for us there is no tomorrow
[Chorus]
The song "No More" by Elvis Presley was released in 1961 as part of the soundtrack for the movie "Blue Hawaii". It is a melancholic ballad where the singer reminisces about a past love that he still holds very dear to his heart. The lyrics are very introspective and poignant, reflecting on the pain of losing someone special and the desire to rekindle their love again.
The first verse sets the tone for the rest of the song, bringing to mind the bittersweet memories of past romance. The second verse is a confession of guilt and regret for causing pain to the loved one. The chorus is the plea of the singer to the beloved to come back and reignite the passion that once burned between them.
The song has a universal appeal as it speaks to anyone who has loved and lost, and holds onto the hope of rekindling that love again. Elvis' soulful delivery of the song adds to the emotional intensity of the lyrics.
