Throughout her long career she has been the recipient of numerous awards including the Grammy Award and the Emmy Award. The couple's striking union of broad ballads and breezy swing has combined with the endurance of their marriage and their comic facility to make them American institutions - even though neither of the couple, as separate performers or together, has put a single into the American Top 40 since 1963.

Saturday Night
Eydie Gorme Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause that's the night that my sweetie and I
Used to dance cheek to cheek
I don't mind Sunday night at all
'Cause that's the night friends come to call
And Monday to Friday go fast
And another week is past
I sing the song that I sang for the memories I usually seek
Until I hear you at the door
Until you're in my arms once more
Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
I sing the song that I sang for the memories I usually seek
Until I hear you at the door
Until you're in my arms once more
Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
Until I hear you at the door
Until you're in my arms once more
Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
The song "Saturday Night" by Eydie Gorme is a melancholic tune that talks about the emptiness and loneliness one can experience on a Saturday night. Gorme sings about how she used to dance with her lover on a Saturday night, but now she is left with only memories of that time. She sings that she does not mind Sundays as she gets to meet friends, but the other days go fast with the week passing by. The loneliness of Saturday night is what stands out in the song.
The lyrics indicate how the memories of the past can be both sweet and painful. Gorme sings that she still sings the same song she used to sing with her lover, echoing how some people turn to music or any other medium to connect to their past, even if it's for a moment. The song ends with the hope of the loved one arriving, as Gorme says "Until I hear you at the door / Until you're in my arms once more / Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week."
Overall, the song touches upon a common theme of loneliness, heartbreak, and nostalgia that many people relate to. The beauty of the song lies in its simplicity.

'Cause that's the night that my sweetie and I
Used to dance cheek to cheek
Saturday nights used to be the highlight of my week because my beloved and I would dance together in each other's arms.
I don't mind Sunday night at all
'Cause that's the night friends come to call
Although I still feel lonely on Sundays, I welcome them because my friends often visit me then and keep me company.
And Monday to Friday go fast
And another week is past
The weekdays fly by and another week has gone by without my darling in my arms.
I sing the song that I sang for the memories I usually seek
To cope with the loneliness, I find myself singing the songs that remind me of the fond memories I shared with my sweetheart.
Until I hear you at the door
Until you're in my arms once more
But the prospect of reuniting with my better half fills me with hope, and I eagerly await their arrival to be able to hold them in my arms again.

Great early Sinatra 1940s hit, sung by the great Eydie Gorme. She sung this with Sinatra in the 1991 Sinatra Jubilee Tour ( Sinatra Steve and Eydie)
