Overall Meaning

At first glance, Françoise Hardy's song Till The Morning Comes may seem like a simple love song with repeated lyrics. However, upon closer inspection, the repetition of the chorus takes on a deeper meaning. The singer is saying that they will wait for the morning to come before fully giving themselves to their lover. This may mean that they are hesitant or have reservations about the relationship, and need the clarity and light of day to make their decision. Another interpretation could be that the morning represents a new day, a fresh start, and the singer wants to fully embrace their partner once they can see clearly, rather than in the darkness of night.

The song has a melancholy tone and the slow, dreamlike melody emphasizes the feeling of waiting and uncertainty. Hardy's tender and emotional vocals add to the wistful atmosphere of the song, enhancing its poetic quality. Till The Morning Comes is a prime example of Hardy's ability to craft a complex and nuanced love song with simple lyrics and minimalist instrumentation.
