The Dave Brubeck Quartet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But can't you see, you've captured me.
Being so glamorous, can't you be amorous just with me?
Make it soon, take a look at the moon.
Love is just around the corner, any cozy little corner.
Love is just around the corner when I'm around you.
I'm a sentimental mourner, and I couldn't be forlorner,
Venus de Milo was noted for her charms,
But strictly between us, you're cuter than Venus,
And what's more you got arms.
So cuddle in a corner, any cozy corner,
Love is just around the corner and I'm around you.
The lyrics to The Dave Brubeck Quartet's "Love is Just Around the Corner" describe the feeling of falling in love with someone who is glamorous and beautiful. The singer seems to be smitten with this person, and is pleading with them to return his affection. He asks them to be amorous with him, but only with him, and urges them to look at the moon and make a decision soon.
The chorus of the song, which repeats several times, reminds us that love is just around the corner. The singer is in a state of longing and mourning, unable to be happy until his love interest reciprocates his feelings. He compares his love interest to the famously beautiful Venus de Milo, but asserts that she is even more attractive and desirable.
Overall, the song strikes a wistful yet hopeful tone, conveying the emotional ups and downs of falling in love. It speaks to the universal experience of longing for someone who seems just out of reach, but holding out hope that someday things will work out.
