Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Beside me in the night
You touched me and calmed my fear
Turned darkness into light
I woke and saw you there
Beside me as before
My heart leapt to find you near
To feel you close once moreTo feel your love once more
Your strength has made me strong
Though life tore us apart
And now when the night seems long
Your love shines in my heart
Your love shines in my heart
The lyrics to "Once Upon A Time In The West" by Ennio Morricone, as performed by The Filmscore Orchestra, convey a sense of intense longing and emotional connection between two individuals. The opening lines describe waking up to find someone special next to the singer, someone who brings comfort and dispels fear. The touch of this person turns darkness into light, symbolizing their ability to bring positivity and hope into the singer's life.
As the song progresses, it becomes apparent that the singer and this person have been separated by life's challenges. Despite the hardships they have faced and the time they spent apart, their love remains strong. The night, which represents a metaphorical period of difficulty and loneliness, becomes bearable because of the love that still resides in the singer's heart. This love acts as a source of strength, allowing the singer to endure and overcome the struggles they face. It becomes a beacon of light in the darkness, providing comfort and solace.

I woke and you were there
Upon awakening, I discovered your presence
Beside me in the night
Right by my side during the darkness
You touched me and calmed my fear
Your touch alleviated my anxiety
Turned darkness into light
Transformed gloom into brightness
I woke and saw you there
Upon awakening, I observed your continued presence
Beside me as before
By my side, just like in the past
My heart leapt to find you near
My heart filled with joy upon sensing your proximity
To feel you close once more
To experience your nearness once again
To feel your love once more
To encounter your love once again
Your strength has made me strong
Your fortitude has bestowed strength upon me
Though life tore us apart
Despite life's act of separating us
And now when the night seems long
At present, during prolonged nights
Your love shines in my heart
Your love radiates within my heart
