Kiki Dee began singing with a local band in Bradford in the early 1960s. Her recording career began as a session singer. She sang backing vocals for Dusty Springfield, among others, and was highly regarded by other singers but did not achieve solo success in the UK for many years. In the USA, her style was admired and she became the first British artist to be signed by Tamla Motown, releasing her first Tamla single in 1970.
In the days before Radio 1 Kiki Dee was a regular performer of other people's hits on BBC radio, and she starred with a group of session singers in the BBC2 singalong series One More Time. Nevertheless, it was only after she joined forces with Elton John and Rocket Records that she became a household name in the UK. Her first major hits were "I Got The Music In Me" (1974) and "Amoureuse" (1973) [1].
Don't go breaking my heart (With Elton John) - 1976 Star - 1981 True love (with Elton John) - 1994
She has released 39 singles, 3 EPs, 9 LPs and 2 CDs to date. During the 1970s and 1980s was regularly voted the top UK female singer, with her powerful and soulful voice equally suited to rockers or ballads.
Kiki Dee has also appeared in musical theatre - notably in the lead role in the West End musical Blood Brothers. She took on the role (originally played by Barbara Dickson for the 1988 production and recording).
She also performed at Live Aid, reprising "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" with John, and performing backing vocals on the other songs in his set.
She still tours, and occasionally makes guest appearances on television in shows such as Never Mind the Buzzcocks. She has recorded with other artists such as Dave Stewart and guitarist Carmelo Luggeri.
The Day Will Come Between Sunday And Monday
Kiki Dee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Between Sunday and Monday
When will I forget that I'm in love with you
When the sky above forgets to be blue
When the grass in the spring forgets to be green
And little children forget the sweet taste of ice cream
The day will come between Sunday and Monday boy
The day will come between Sunday and Monday boy
That's the day I'll stop loving you
When will I forget all the sweet love you give
When the good man above forgets to forgive
When a boy flying a kite no longer needs the wind
And a duck on a pond forgets how to swim
The day will come between Sunday and Monday boy
The day will come between Sunday and Monday boy
That's the day I'll stop loving you
That's the day I'll stop loving you
When will I forget how I love you sounds
When my ears go deaf and the world shuts down
I can't lend a day when your love I'll forget
It hasn't been meant but I know where it's at
The day will come between Sunday and Monday boy
The day will come between Sunday and Monday boy
That's the day I'll stop loving you
That's the day
The day will come between Sunday and Monday boy
The day will come between Sunday and Monday boy
That's the day I'll stop loving you
That's the day
The day will come between Sunday and Monday boy
The day will come between Sunday and Monday boy
The lyrics to Kiki Dee's song "The Day Will Come Between Sunday and Monday" are a testament to the power of love and the hold it can have over us. The song speaks to the idea that even though we may try, we cannot control our feelings and emotions, or force ourselves to stop loving someone. Kiki sings about the day when she will stop loving the person, but it is clear that this day is nowhere on the horizon, as she lists a series of improbable events that would have to occur before she could forget her love.
The first verse speaks to the idea that Kiki's love is as enduring as nature itself - when the sky is no longer blue or the grass no longer green, and children no longer find joy in ice cream. The second verse extends the metaphor to the forgiving nature of the divine, something that seems equally unchanging and permanent. Finally, in the third verse, Kiki acknowledges that even the cessation of the senses won't be enough to make her stop loving the person. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the point that the day when Kiki will stop loving her person is an unattainable goal, as distant and unlikely as the apocalyptic events listed in the verses.
The song is a bittersweet meditation on the complexities of romantic love, a force that can feel inexorable and unyielding even when we want it to end. The lyrics suggest that no matter what happens, the feelings we have for someone can persist, sometimes for years or even decades, defying logic or reason. Ultimately, the song is a testament to the power of love, an emotion that can transform and heal even as it confounds and perplexes us.
Line by Line Meaning
Between Sunday and Monday
When there's no clear distinction between the beginning or end of something
When will I forget that I'm in love with you
When it feels like forgetting is impossible
When the sky above forgets to be blue
When something so inherent and natural becomes unnatural or impossible
When the grass in the spring forgets to be green
When something that always grows and thrives suddenly dies or fades away
And little children forget the sweet taste of ice cream
When something so simple and easy to remember is forgotten, it's a sign of a significant change
The day will come between Sunday and Monday boy
The inevitability of change, like the passing of time between days
That's the day I'll stop loving you
When some impossible or unnatural circumstance finally occurs
When will I forget all the sweet love you give
When even the most cherished memories fade away
When the good man above forgets to forgive
When the highest power changes his nature or ceases to show mercy
When a boy flying a kite no longer needs the wind
When something that requires something else to exist becomes independent or self-reliant
And a duck on a pond forgets how to swim
When something that has always been second nature becomes a struggle or impossible
When will I forget how I love you sounds
When even the sound of love becomes a distant memory
When my ears go deaf and the world shuts down
When something so integral to our experience becomes impossible
It hasn't been meant but I know where it's at
The inevitability of change, despite our desire for things to remain the same

Love this Beautiful ❤
@WattisWatts
I always thought " Don't Start Breaking My Heart" with Sir Elton was her weakest moment. This stuff suits Kiki much better.
@d.a.elliottjr.367
I wish Corporate radio would learn that, too.
