Some Day My Prince Will Come
The Dave Brubeck Quartet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There is someone I'm longing to see
Someone I simply can't help but adore
Someone who'll thrill me forever
Some day my prince will come
Some day I'll find my love
And how thrilling that moment will be
When the prince of my dreams comes to me
And steal a kiss or two
Though he's far away,
I'll find my love some day
Some day when my dreams come true
Some day I'll find my love
Someone to call my own
And I'll know her the moment we meet
For my heart will start skipping a beat
Some day we'll say and do
Things we've been longing to
Though she's far away
I'll find my love some day
Some day when my dreams come true

I played alto sax for 10 years because of hearing Paul Desmond as a kid on my dad's records. Man could do no wrong.
@patrickdrazen3574
Two things about Dave's solo: @ 5:02 he starts playing fours against the rhythm section which is still in 3/4; which became a signature of his music for the rest of his life; also, just before he goes back to the original melody at the end, he quotes the song "You Make Me Feel So Young"--appropriate!

Is there anything better than when Paul Desmond just goes off like this? So masterful.
