Someday my
Oscar Peterson and Ben Webster Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There is someone I'm longing to see
Someone I simply can't help but adore
Someone who'll thrill me forever
Some day my prince will come
Some day I'll find my love
And how thrilling that moment will be
When the prince of my dreams comes to me
And steal a kiss or two
Though he's far away,
I'll find my love some day
Some day when my dreams come true
Some day I'll find my love
Someone to call my own
And I'll know her the moment we meet
For my heart will start skipping a beat
Some day we'll say and do
Things we've been longing to
Though she's far away
I'll find my love some day
Some day when my dreams come true
The lyrics of "Someday My Prince Will Come" by Oscar Peterson Trio tell the story of a person who is waiting for their true love to arrive, someone who they adore and who will thrill them forever. The song suggests that though the prince may be far away, they will be found someday, and when that dream comes true, it will be a thrilling moment. The singer is longing to meet someone who they will instantly recognize as the one for them, and they anticipate that they will say and do things they have been longing to do. It is a song of hope and patience, and it acknowledges the uncertainty of finding true love, but also the joy that comes with it.
The lyrics are filled with imagery that depicts the singer's longing and anticipation. The use of words like "waiting," "longing," and "thrill" convey the singer's eagerness to meet their prince. The repetition of the phrase "some day" throughout the song emphasizes the patience and hope the singer has in finding their true love. The use of the metaphor of a prince also adds a fairytale-like quality to the song, suggesting that the singer's journey to find their love is like a storybook romance.
