Lover
Jack Teagarden and His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
See how he looks
Wait till you hear him laugh
Painters of paintings
Writers of books
Never could tell the half
The warmth of his glance
Pensive and sweet and wise
All of it lovely
All of it thrilling
I'll never be willing to free him
When you see him
You won't believe your eyes
You won't believe your eyes
The lyrics of Jack Teagarden's song Lover are all about anticipation and the excitement of waiting for someone special. The opening line "Wait till you see him" sets the tone for the rest of the song, as the singer talks about how wonderful this person is and how much they're looking forward to being with them. The verses describe different aspects of the person's personality and appearance, such as their laugh and their "warmth of his glance," which the singer finds lovely and thrilling.
The last line of the song, "You won't believe your eyes," speaks to the idea that this person is somehow too good to be true. The singer seems to be in awe of them, and can't believe that they've found someone so amazing. It's a sweet and romantic song that captures the feeling of falling head over heels in love with someone new.
