There Must Be A Way
Joni James Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There must be a way to stop me from dreamin' of you
There must be a star in the skies that isn't reflecting your eyes
I just don't know how to disguise how much I miss you
There must be a song that doesn't remind me of you
There must be a kiss that'll thrill me like yours used to do
I look for a way to be happy, happy with somebody new
There must be a song that doesn't remind me of you
Yes, there must be a kiss that'll thrill me like yours used to do
I look for a way to be happy, happy with somebody new
Oh, there must be a way but I can't find a way without you
Joni James's song "There Must Be a Way" is a sorrowful tune that speaks of the pain that comes with a failed relationship. The artist in the song is yearning to forget about the person she has just broken up with, and she is desperately searching for a way to move on. Throughout the song, she admits that she is struggling to find another person who can make her happy the way her former partner did.
The artist expresses her sadness in the opening verse by stating that she needs help to forget about the past relationship. She is looking for some way to move on and leave the memories behind. However, she admits that she can't seem to find a solution that works. In the second verse, she also admits that she can't stop thinking about the person she has ended things with. Even if she wants to move on and be happy with someone new, she still can't escape from the memories of her former lover.
In the final verse, Joni James reiterates the same message she has conveyed throughout the song. She acknowledges that she needs to find happiness with someone else and that there must be a way to do so. However, she concludes that she can't do it without the person she has lost. The artist's voice is emotive and wistful, the lyrics are profound and heartfelt, and the melody is hauntingly beautiful.

Oh, my!!! With a few of us driving down to Jahn's ice cream parlor on a Friday night and the radio playing Joni James and "There Must Be a Way". If nothing else, this brings back so many great memories. To bring back those days, if only for an hour, well I guess not possible but the memories linger and embellished by Miss JJ.
