My One And Only Thrill
Melody Gardot Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Birds may cease to spread their wings
But it don't matter
But it don't matter
When does May envelop spring
But it don't matter
But it don't matter, 'cause
When I'm with you
My whole world stands still
You're my one and only thrill

Ships may never leave the dock
But it don't matter
But it don't matter
Ticks may never hear a tock
But it don't matter
But it don't matter, 'cause
When I'm with you
My whole world stands still
You're my one and only thrill

Shores may never reach the tide
But it don't matter
But it don't matter
Buds may never open wide
But it don't matter
But it don't matter, 'cause
When I'm with you
My whole world stands still
You're my one and only thrill
You're my
You're my

You're my one and only
Thrill

Line by Line Meaning

Birds may cease to spread their wings
Even if birds stop flying


But it don't matter
It's not important


But it don't matter
It's not important


When does May envelop spring
When May arrives and brings the spring season


But it don't matter
It's not important


But it don't matter, 'cause
It's not important because


When I'm with you
When I'm in your company


My whole world stands still
Everything around me becomes calm and serene


You're my one and only thrill
You're the only thing that excites and thrills me

I am loving everything about this lady. Her tone reminds me so much of the sound of my lovely and much loved yet estranged daughter Rebekah. Her phrasing is so unique that I can find no one to compare it to. So emotional. Her sensitivity reminds me of the piano style of Khatia Buniatishvili
