Key Largo
Higgins Bertie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trying so hard to stay warm
That first cold winter together
Lying in each other's arms
Watching those old movies
Falling in love so desperately
Honey I was your hero
And you were my leading lady.
We had it all
Just like Bogie and Bacall
Starring in our old late, late show
Sailing away to Key Largo
Honey can't you remember
We played all the parts
That sweet scene of surrender
When you gave me your heart
Please say you will...play it again
Cause I love you still
Baby this can't be the end.
We had it all
Just like Bogie and Bacall
Starring in our old late, late show
Sailing away to Key Largo
Here's lookin at you kid
Missing all the things we did
We can find it once again, I know
Just like they did in Key Largo
We had it all
Just like Bogie and Bacall
Starring in our old late, late show
Sailing away to Key Largo
The lyrics of the song "Key Largo," by Higgins Bertie, talk about a couple who is trying to stay warm in their first cold winter together, wrapped around each other, watching old movies and falling in love so desperately. The couple felt like they were the leading actors, Bogie and Bacall, starring in their old late, late show. They sailed away to Key Largo, reminiscing their sweet scene of surrender, where the woman gave the man her heart. The man wants to relive that moment, and he asks his lover to play the scene again, saying that he loves her still and that it can't be the end.
The song is a tribute to a 1948 classic film named Key Largo, starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. It was directed by John Huston, and the song describes the couple's deep connection, just like Bogie and Bacall's chemistry in the movie. The film plot revolves around a former army officer, who goes to Key Largo to meet the family of a man he served with in World War II, only to find out that they were held hostage by a group of gangsters.

Wrapped around each other
We were inseparably holding each other close
Trying so hard to stay warm
We were trying to keep each other comfortable in the cold
That first cold winter together
We were experiencing our first winter as a couple
Lying in each other's arms
We were resting together in each other's embrace
Watching those old movies
We were watching classic films together
Falling in love so desperately
We were deeply and passionately in love
Honey I was your hero
I was your protector and savior
And you were my leading lady.
You were the star of my life
We had it all
We had everything we ever wanted as a couple
Just like Bogie and Bacall
We were like the famous film couple, Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall

Honey can't you remember
Don't you remember how great it was?
We played all the parts
We were each other's everything
That sweet scene of surrender
When you opened your heart to me
When you gave me your heart
When I became the keeper of your heart
Please say you will...play it again
Please tell me you want to experience it again with me
Cause I love you still
Because I am still deeply in love with you
Baby this can't be the end.
I refuse to believe that our love story is over
Here's lookin at you kid
I see you with the same admiration and affection as Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca
Missing all the things we did
I am reminiscing about all the wonderful memories we shared
We can find it once again, I know
I believe we can rekindle our love
Just like they did in Key Largo
We can find happiness and romance like we did in Key Largo
We had it all
We had everything we ever wanted as a couple
Just like Bogie and Bacall

This song has always been a favorite of mine. I told my husband I wanted to go to Key Largo and play it forever. Sadly, he passed, 2 days after our 25th Anniversary. That was 3 years ago. I will make it to Key Largo, even if it's only in my dreams ✨️ 🎶 Thank you Bertie, for keeping hope and romance alive, every time this song is played. ❤️🎹🎼
@CryptidWalks
I’m here tonight, in Key Largo. I hope you made it.
