The Bill Evans Trio Bill Evans Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Haven't done half the things we want to
Oh well, we'll catch up some other time
This day was just a token
Too many words are still unspoken
Oh well, we'll catch up some other time
Comes the time for parting
But, let's just be glad for what we had
And what's to come
There's some much more embracing
Still to be done but time is racing
Oh well, we'll catch up some other time
There's some much more embracing
Still to be done but time is racing
Oh well, we'll catch up some other time
The lyrics to "Some Other Time" by The Bill Evans Trio reflect on the passing of time and the realization that there are so many things left undone and unsaid. The singer laments that they haven't accomplished half of what they wanted to do and haven't expressed all the words they wanted to say. However, they also find solace in the idea that they can catch up on these things at some other time.
The song conveys a bittersweet feeling as the day mentioned is only a fleeting moment, mere symbol, and too short to accomplish everything they desire. The realization dawns that just when the fun is beginning, it's already time for parting. Despite this, they choose to be grateful for the moments they shared and the experiences they had. The lyrics suggest that even though there is so much more to be done and time is rushing by, there is still hope that they will have the opportunity to catch up in the future.
"Some Other Time" touches upon the universal theme of time slipping away and the regrets that can come with it. It offers a poignant reflection on the importance of seizing the moment and cherishing the experiences one has had, while also harboring hope for the future when unfinished business can be addressed. The lyrics perfectly capture the complex emotions associated with the passage of time and the desire to make the most of every opportunity.

Where has the time all gone to
We are questioning where all the time has disappeared to
Haven't done half the things we want to
We have only accomplished a fraction of the things we desired
Oh well, we'll catch up some other time
It's unfortunate, but we will have to meet and continue later
This day was just a token
This particular day was merely a representation
Too many words are still unspoken
There are numerous thoughts and feelings left unexpressed
Just when the fun is starting
Precisely at the moment when the enjoyment is commencing
Comes the time for parting
The time has arrived for us to separate and bid goodbye
But, let's just be glad for what we had
However, we should find contentment in the experiences we shared
And what's to come
As well as in the potential future experiences ahead
There's some much more embracing
There are so many more moments to fully embrace
Still to be done but time is racing
Yet there are tasks remaining, however, time is swiftly passing
Oh well, we'll catch up some other time
Regardless, we will meet and continue at a later moment
There's some much more embracing
There are so many more moments to fully embrace
Still to be done but time is racing
Yet there are tasks remaining, however, time is swiftly passing
Oh well, we'll catch up some other time
Regardless, we will meet and continue at a later moment
