Another Time
Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Her candles flicker in the fading light
I sit alone and watch that lonely night
I see you everywhere and I try desperately to hide
Chorus:
Another time, another place, I see that old familiar face
And I try hard to catch your eye
Another road, another mile, I see that old familiar smile
But you'll be with somebody new
Another night, another day, I'll see you standing in my way
I'll stop and say "hello, my friend"
Another place, another time, you'll tell me you've been doing fine
And walk away from me once more.
I try to run away from sad regrets
The bitter wine won't help me to forget
That I locked up my heart and threw away the precious key
Chorus:
Another night, another day, I'll see you standing in my way
I'll stop and say "hello, my friend"
Another place, another time, you'll tell me you've been doing fine
And walk away from me once more.
"Another Time Another Place" is a song by Engelbert Humperdinck that portrays the unrequited love of a person who's attempting to move on from a past romantic relationship. As he's sitting alone in a room, trying to find a distraction from his thoughts, he sees his former lover's image all around him. He's unable to escape the memories, no matter how much he tries. He misses her so much that he imagines her presence in his surroundings. Rather than focusing on the present, he is trapped in the past and is still affected by her.
The chorus suggests another verse of the brokenhearted ballad. He wishes for another time and location where he could reunite with the woman he still has feelings for. Despite the fact that he sees her smile in another context with someone else, he still yearns for her. In the bridge, he reflects on his regret for shutting off the chance of their relationship continuing. "Another time, another place," he says. "And walk away from me once more." Despite his desire for another opportunity, he appears to be aware that another encounter would result in him being alone again, with no resolution to his lonesomeness.

Another time, another place
Reflecting on the past and the changes that have occurred
Her candles flicker in the fading light
Describing the ambiance of the scene
I sit alone and watch that lonely night
Expressing feelings of loneliness and longing
I see you everywhere and I try desperately to hide
Struggling to move on and forget someone
Chorus: Another time, another place, I see that old familiar face
Reliving past memories and encountering familiar faces
And I try hard to catch your eye
Wanting to connect and rekindle a relationship
Another road, another mile, I see that old familiar smile
Remembering good times with someone
But you'll be with somebody new
Coming to terms with the fact that the person has moved on
Another night, another day, I'll see you standing in my way
Continuing to think about and encounter the person
I'll stop and say 'hello, my friend'
Reaching out to the person as a friend
Another place, another time, you'll tell me you've been doing fine
Meeting again in the future and catching up
And walk away from me once more.
Realizing that they have to accept the situation and move on
I try to run away from sad regrets
Attempting to bury painful memories and emotions
The bitter wine won't help me to forget
Rejecting unhealthy coping mechanisms
That I locked up my heart and threw away the precious key
Realizing they have closed themselves off to love

Not only that, you can understand every word he says and the song has a meaning... sadly, we'll never have singers, songwriters and proper orchestral versions like this ever again.
