There Will Never Be Another You
Gerry Mulligan Chet Baker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'll be standing here with someone new
There will be other songs to sing
Another fall, another spring
But there will never be another you
There will be other lips that I may kiss
But they won't thrill me like yours used to do
But how can they come true
If there will never ever be another you?
Yes, I may dream a million dreams
But how can they come true
If there will never ever be another you?
The lyrics of Gerry Mulligan and Chet Baker's song "There Will Never Be Another You" express bittersweet feelings about moving on from a past relationship while acknowledging that the memories of the former lover will always linger. The opening lines suggest that while the singer is now with someone new, he expects to experience similar moments of connection and romance in the future. However, he knows that no matter what, he will never forget the person he's left behind - exemplified by the repetition of the refrain "there will never be another you."
The second verse conveys the same sentiment from a different angle, acknowledging that the singer may have other romantic interests, but none of them will measure up to the intensity and depth of his previous relationship. The final lines suggest a sense of resignation mixed with longing, accepting that the dream of finding another love like the one that's been lost can never be realized.
Overall, "There Will Never Be Another You" is a poignant and reflective ode to a past relationship that remains cherished even as it passes into memory. The lyrics wrestle with the paradox of wanting to move forward while being unwilling or unable to let go of what came before.

There will be many other nights like this
There will be other nights similar to this one
And I'll be standing here with someone new
I'll be here with a new partner
There will be other songs to sing
There are other songs in the world
Another fall, another spring
There will be more seasons
But there will never be another you
But there will never be someone like you
There will be other lips that I may kiss
There will be other people to kiss
But they won't thrill me like yours used to do
But nobody will excite me like you did
Yes, I may dream a million dreams
I might have many dreams
But how can they come true
But how can they be fulfilled
If there will never ever be another you?
If there is no one else like you?
