Radcliffe Jimmy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tonight will be for the first time
I have learned what my lips are for
And darling, now that I've kissed you
I'm craving to kiss you more

Let me tell you
Long after tonight is all over
Long after tonight is all gone
I'll be yours
For ever and a day and
Yours, come anything that may
You'll always be just everything to me

Here in my arms
When I hold you
I can feel that the world is mine
Don't go away
Don't you leave me
Or I'll cry 'til the end of time

Let me tell you
Long after tonight is all over
Long after it's all gone
I'll be yours
Come anything that may and
Yours, for ever and a day
You'll always be just everything to me

Let me tell you
Long after tonight is all over
Long after it's all gone
I'll be yours
For ever and a day and
Yours, come anything that may
You'll always be just everything to me

Long after tonight is all over
Long after tonight is all over
After it's over and done
After it's over and done
After it's gone




After it's gone
Long after

@banyera

First May I say you have my sincere Condolences !!
May your Friend rest in peace ! ❤
It is strange How Music can evoke such strong feelings (esp. under those circumstances ) , and how people turn to Music in times distress .
I personally have many songs that remind me of Family and Friends ,Especially my Mother .... - and I am no Genius , but I use those songs to Celebrate what I had , and try not to dwell on "what might have been " ,,,
If this in any way offends/upsets you please leave a comment below and I will remove this comment !
Please try to Stay Strong !!!
Regards Tony 🙏

Beautiful record. I had this record at my wife's funeral as her coffin went behind the curtain, we'd danced to it the week before she became ill. I still get emotional when I hear this, my eyes well up.
