Love Is A Many-Splendored Thing
Ray Conniff & His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's the April rose that only grows in the early Spring
Love is nature's way of giving a reason to be living
The golden crown that makes a man a king
Once on a high and windy hill, In the morning mist
Two lovers kissed and the world stood still
Then your fingers touched my silent heart and taught it how to sing
Yes, true love's a many splendored thing
Love is a many splendored thing
It's the April rose that only grows in the early Spring
Love is nature's way of giving a reason to be living
The golden crown that makes a man a king
Once on a high and windy hill, In the morning mist
Two lovers kissed and the world stood still
Then your fingers touched my silent heart and taught it how to sing
Yes, true love's a many splendored thing
The opening lines of the song, "Love is a Many-Splendored Thing" suggest that love is something that has many facets, a multi-dimensional experience that is both bittersweet and joyous. The lyrics compare love to an "April rose that only grows in the early Spring" which highlights how love is something special and rare that happens in a specific time and place. Love is not something that happens all the time, but when it does, it's something that is beautiful and breathtaking.
The chorus emphasizes the idea that love is not just an emotion but something that can give purpose and meaning to life. "Love is nature's way of giving a reason to be living" suggests that without love, life would feel incomplete and meaningless. The line "The golden crown that makes a man a king" suggests that love is something that brings glory and honor, and that being in love can make a person feel powerful and invincible.
The second verse brings us back to an intimate moment shared by two lovers. The lyric "Once on a high and windy hill, In the morning mist, Two lovers kissed and the world stood still" creates a vivid image of a romantic moment that seems to suspend time. The line "Then your fingers touched my silent heart and taught it how to sing" is a beautiful image of the transformative power of love. The song ends with the repeating chorus, "true love's a many-splendored thing," which hints at a universal truth about love that we can all relate to.
