Some Other Time
Tony Bennett/Bil 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 of "Some Other Time" by Tony Bennett and Bill Evans are a poignant reminder of the transience of life and the need to cherish our moments. The song starts by acknowledging the passing of time and the unrealised dreams and desires that come with it. The line "Haven't done half the things we want to" is a relatable sentiment that encapsulates the feeling of regret when we realise how short life can be. However, the song doesn't dwell on this sadness for too long as it quickly shifts its focus to hopefulness. The next line, "Oh well, we'll catch up some other time," conveys a sense of optimism, suggesting that there is still time to do the things we want to do.

Where has the time all gone to
Time has passed by quickly and we wonder where it went
Haven't done half the things we want to
We haven't accomplished many of our desires
Oh well, we'll catch up some other time
We will have the opportunity to do those things in the future
This day was just a token
Today was only a small indication of our time together
Too many words are still unspoken
We haven't had a chance to say everything we wanted to say to each other
Oh well, we'll catch up some other time
We will have the opportunity to say everything we want to in the future
Just when the fun is starting
We were just beginning to have a good time
Comes the time for parting
Suddenly, it's time to say goodbye
But, let's just be glad for what we had
Instead of being sad, let's be happy for the time we spent together
And what's to come
We can also look forward to what the future holds
There's some much more embracing
There are so many more things we want to experience and enjoy together
Still to be done but time is racing
However, time is moving quickly and we need to make the most of it
Oh well, we'll catch up some other time
We will have the opportunity to do those things in the future

This never left me. Whenever I am confronted with heartbreak subconsciously I hear these artists in this timeless recording. Amazing how music and voices can echo through time. I hope others will discover this song through the years.

We can only hope the likes of these two legends will cross our path again.
So long, Tony.

Just realized the intro is "Peace Piece." Just a masterpiece of collaboration. Love it so much.

Marvellous to listen to the artistry of a great singer and an incredible jazz pianist - Bill Evans joined by perhaps the greatest the most versatile "jazzy crooner" ( I am quoting the NYTimes) that is the one and only Tony Bennett. He had so much to give, people everywhere on this planet were touched by his style, character, and musicality....!

If it is possible for this perfect album to have a “best” song, this would be my choice.
