There Will Never Be Another You
Tony Bennett & Count Basie and His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tonight soon will be long ago
And in our moment of parting
This is all I want you to know
There will be many other nights like this,
And I'll be standing here with someone new,
There will be other songs to sing, another fall, another spring,
There will be other lips that I may kiss,
But they won't thrill me like yours used to do,
Yes, I may dream a million dreams,
But how can they come true,
If there will never ever be another you.
The lyrics to Tony Bennett & Count Basie and His Orchestra's song "There Will Never Be Another You" express a bittersweet sentiment of a couple's last dance together. The singer acknowledges that this moment will soon be nothing but a memory, but uses it as an opportunity to express his feelings to his partner. He tells them that while there will be many other nights like this, there will never be another person like them. They are irreplaceable and unique in his eyes. He also acknowledges that there may be other relationships in his future, but none of them will compare to the one he has shared with this person.
The tone of the lyrics is both nostalgic and hopeful, highlighting the bitter-sweetness of parting. The singer acknowledges the inevitability of change and moving on, but also emphasizes the significance of the unique bond he shares with his partner. The repetition of the phrase "there will never be another you" emphasizes the individuality and irreplaceability of the person he is addressing.

This is our last dance together
This is the final time we'll be dancing together
Tonight soon will be long ago
This night will soon be in the distant past
And in our moment of parting
As we say goodbye
This is all I want you to know
I have one thing to tell you
There will be many other nights like this,
There will be numerous nights similar to this one
And I'll be standing here with someone new,
I'll be with a different person in this same spot
There will be other songs to sing, another fall, another spring,
There will be additional songs, falls, and springs in the future
But there will never be another you.
But there will never be anyone quite like you
There will be other lips that I may kiss,
I may kiss other lips
But they won't thrill me like yours used to do,
However, they won't arouse similar excitement
Yes, I may dream a million dreams,
I have the possibility to dream countless dreams
But how can they come true,
However, how will they become a reality
If there will never ever be another you.
Without someone as unique as you, how can they be fulfilled?
