1. Jack Jones (born Jan. 14, 1938, in Hollywood, Calif.) is a traditional pop singer, perhaps best known for his songs "I've Got Your Number" and "Wives and Lovers". The only son of actors Allan Jones and Irene Hervey, he released his first album in 1959 on Capitol Records, but he didn't find success until he moved to Kapp Records in the early 60s. During that decade, he was rated highly by contemporaries such as Frank Sinatra. Judy Garland even reportedly called him the best jazz singer in the world, though Jones was always a straight pop singer (even with contemporary material) and merely ventured in the direction of jazz. He has won two Grammy Awards.

Having toured for decades since his 60s heyday, Jones still performs concerts around the world and remains popular on the casino circuit. Many of his tunes are included in various mutli-artist compliation albums. Some of his best-known songs are "The Impossible Dream," " "Wives And Lovers" (1964 Grammy Award, Best Pop Male Performance)," "The Race Is On," "Lollipops and Roses" (1962, Grammy Award, Best Pop Male Performance), "Lady," and "The Love Boat Theme".

The Long and Winding Road
Jack Jones Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The long and winding road
That leads to your door
Will never disappear
I've seen that road before
It always leads me here
Lead me to you door

The wild and windy night

That the rain washed away
Has left a pool of tears
Crying for the day
Why leave me standing here
Let me know the way

Many times I've been alone
And many times I've cried
Any way you'll never know
The many ways I've tried

But still they lead me back
To the long winding road
You left me waiting here
A long long time ago
Don't leave me standing here
Lead me to your door

But still they lead me back
To the long winding road
You left me waiting here
A long long time ago

Don't leave me standing here
Lead me to your door

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jack Jones's song The Long and Winding Road express the longing and yearning of the singer for a lost love. The song begins by talking about the long and winding road that leads to the door of his love. The singer knows that he has walked this road before, and it always leads him back to his love's door. The road is symbolic of the singer's journey towards his love and his quest to regain what he has lost.

The second verse talks about the wild and windy night that the rain washed away. The night is symbolic of the singer's emotional state, and the rain is symbolic of his tears. The pool of tears left by the rain represents the emotional turmoil he is going through. He is crying for the day when his love will return to him. He implores his love not to leave him standing there but to show him the way back to her.

The chorus of the song talks about the numerous times the singer has been alone and cried for his love. He has tried in so many ways to reach her, but she is still far away. The long and winding road keeps leading him back to her door, and he is haunted by the memory of her leaving him waiting there a long time ago. He begs her not to leave him standing there but to lead him back to her door. The lyrics convey a deep sense of yearning and longing, and the slow, mournful melody of the song reinforces the emotion of the lyrics.
