Gilbert O’Sullivan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Get up them stairs go on quickly
Don't run
Take off your shoes the both of you's
Leave them down outside the door turn the landing light off,
No wait, leave it on it might make the night that easier to be gone
And in the morning who'll be wide a wake and eating snow flakes as
Opposed to those flakes. (We Will) We Will (We Will) We will
His wife auntie Mae well do you know since then I've received
Up to four letters all of which repeat the same they say
Thrilled to bits can't believe you came we relived it both
Over time and time again and if there's
Even a chance or even half you might be our way
Would you promise to stay (We will) We will (We will) We Will
Yeah..yeah..yeah
Oh its no easy pretending that you
Cannot hear once you've suffered the reflections within
It's no use in an ending to proclaim from the start that the
Moral of the stories to begin.
On Sunday next if the weather holds we'll have that game
But I bagsy-being-in-goal not because I'm good
Or because I think I should it's just that well at
My age I think standing still would really suit me best
Do we all agree?
Hands up those who do hands up those who don't
I see well in that case will we please be kind enough if not
On Sunday to go to mass on Monday (We will)
We will (We will ) We will yeah yeah (We will)
The lyrics of "We will” by Gilbert O’Sullivan describe the banalities of everyday life and the small things that make up our routines. The song is split into two verses which provide a glimpse into different aspects of life. The first verse tells a story of a late-night rendezvous between two people, and the morning after. The singer urges their partner to be quiet and leave the shoes outside the door, as to not wake up the household. The second verse then describes plans for the upcoming weekend, including a football game on Sunday and Mass on Monday.
The song's message appears to be about enjoying the simple pleasures in life and the comfort that comes from familiarity and routine. The chorus repeats the phrase “We will” over and over, establishing the resolute attitude of the singer in their desire to enjoy these simple pleasures with their friends and family.
In summary, "We will" is a song that encourages us to appreciate the small things in life and to cherish the mundane moments that make up our daily routines.

Pure talent,
They just don't make them like him anymore.
The music was minimalistic, as his voice was an instrument in itself.
His lyrics are just out of this world, telling a story from start to finish with twisting and turning throughout the song.
A true artist.
Total respect.🙏👍
@martinstorey3139
What a great decade the 70's were..
Todays world is nothing like it was.
Thank goodness for memories.
Thank you Gilbert 😊

Gilbert is a genius. This was my late Mum's favourite song. His songs don't age, they just take you back in time to better days.

All these comments are so special about one of the greatest talents of our time , ie evoking happiness and sadness at the same time , plus childhood memories of past times with our parents and siblings we have since lost and miss terribly , such innocent times in a very different world , sure it wasn't perfect but what I wouldn't give to take my wife and kids back there ! Thank you Gilbert for the music that means so much to so many and may God bless you as he did with your exceptional talent xx
@Sunburst75
Yeah you are spot on. Even the "I bagsie being in goal".....god it takes you back to the early 70s. Beautiful song as you say, and it reminds us of family and happy times as kids. I wish we could go back in time!
