Steve Lawrence Eydie Gorme Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Besame besame mucho,
Each time I cling to your kiss
I hear music divine
Besame mucho
Hold me my darling and
Say that you'll always be mine

This joy is something new
My arms are holding you
Never knew this thrill before
Who ever thought I'd be
Holding you close to me
Whispering it's you I adore

Dearest one, if you should leave me
Each little dream will take wing
And my life would be through.
Besame mucho
Love me for ever and
Make all my dreams come true

Besame, besame mucho
Como si fuera esta noche la ultima vez
Besame mucho
Que tengo miedo perderte, perderte otra vez
Quiero tenerte muy
Cerca, mirarme en tus
Ojos, verte junto a mi
Piensa que tal vez
Mañana yo ya estare
Lejos, muy lejos de ti

Which means
Dearest one, if you should leave me
Each little dream will take wing
And my life would be through.
Besame besame besame mucho
Love me for ever and
Make all my dreams come true





Love me for ever and
Make all my dreams come true

Quite a thrill ride going back in time listening to this legendary couple.
When Eydie sings her part and the big band starts wailing, I can see the lights of Vegas at night , plus all the nightclubs.
Steve is left with all her memories.
I don’t think I could make it without her
