Love is Just Around the Corner
Michael Feinstein Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But can't you see, you've captured me.
Being so glamorous, can't you be amorous just with me?
Make it soon, take a look at the moon.
Love is just around the corner, any cozy little corner.
Love is just around the corner when I'm around you.
I'm a sentimental mourner, and I couldn't be forlorner,
Venus de Milo was noted for her charms,
But strictly between us, you're cuter than Venus,
And what's more you got arms.
So cuddle in a corner, any cozy corner,
Love is just around the corner and I'm around you.
The main theme of Michael Feinstein's Love is Just Around the Corner is love and the overwhelming feelings it evokes. The first verse of the song sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics, as the singer passionately declares their infatuation with their object of affection. The use of the phrase "Beautiful miracle" is a metaphor used to show the sheer awe and wonder the singer feels towards this person. The singer acknowledges that they are falling head over heels for this glamorous person, and pleads with them to reciprocate their feelings. The singer implores the person to seize the day and take their love to the next level, signallized by the sight of the moon.
The second verse of the song centers around the singer's yearning for love, specifically when around the person they adore. The singer describes themselves as a "sentimental mourner" which is a metaphorical way of showcasing the sadness they feel in their longing for love. The singer feels like they are constantly waiting for their love interest, stuck in a corner without any movement. The mention of Venus de Milo in the lyrics alludes to the famous sculpture by Greeks which is missing arms. The singer compares their love interest favorably stating that the love interest is more beautiful and possess arms which is a more complete personification of beauty. In the last line, the singer again urges their love interest to take a chance on love, in any cozy corner available.
