Hands Across The Table
Tony Osborne And His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
While the lights are low,
Though you hush your lips,
Your finger tips
Tell me all I want to know.
Hands across the table,
Meet so tenderly,
And they say,
That you belong to me.
The lyrics of Tony Osborne and His Orchestra's "Hands Across the Table" convey a feeling of deep intimacy shared between two people whose love and affection can be expressed through a mere touch. The opening lines of the song are symbolic of a moment of absolute privacy, where two individuals share an emotion that is entirely theirs. However, while the lips may remain silent, the touch of their fingertips reveals a passion that only they know, and it tells the observer every bit of what they want to know.
The lyrics build on this feeling of intimacy, as the hands of the two individuals meet tenderly, conveying a strong connection between them, so much so that it is almost as if they had been waiting for the moment of touch, to reassure each other that they belong to one another, with the message being conveyed subtly in their own little way. The song, with its slow tempo, soft instrumentals and ethereal vocals, creates a serene atmosphere of romance and affection, making it an ideal choice for a quiet evening.

Hands across the table,
With our hands placed on the table,
While the lights are low,
As the room is dimly lit,
Though you hush your lips,
Even though you don't speak,
Your finger tips
The movement of your fingers,
Tell me all I want to know.
Secretly convey all I wish to learn.
Hands across the table,
Our hands clasped on the table,
Meet so tenderly,
Gently held in each other's grip,
And they say,
This gesture suggests,
In their little way,
In their delicate and subtle way,
That you belong to me.
You are mine and under my authority.

What is this joke : Only the first track is from the LP and after it's disco sound ?!!!!!
@bobdavis4848
No, not only the first track is from the LP; most of the intended album is at the end. See my longer comment in response to S Chak.
@subhrenduchakraborty9440
Wrong tracks are being played... And these are obviously don't sound like 50s rather 80s 90s
@gmoralesmx2
obviously that is, I do not want to play original tapes with their annoying noise of LPs already very worn, I prefer a cleaner sound and if possible mastered thanks for your comment greetings
@subhrenduchakraborty9440
@@gmoralesmx2 ok , but I am not clear.. because then why did you post it under that caption and the track listing ?
@bobdavis4848
@@subhrenduchakraborty9440 S Chak: You are referring only to the additional, inappropriate 80s or 90s sounding music between 2:36 and 46:27, which should not be here. The rest of this post is the accurate music.

@@gmoralesmx2 Gustavo Morales Battagglini: But the subject here is not about clarity and mastering. The mastered music here is of more than just the Tony Osborne and his Orchestra “Hands Across The Table” album. You list song titles that total 31 minutes and 38 seconds. But the music you put for this video is 75 minutes and 50 seconds. The playing and production of inappropriate, uncredited additional music here, from 2:36 through 46:27, do not sound like 1957 but much more recent. For example, the music starting at about 39 minutes in has a post disco sound. Also you misspelled parts of the standard song title “I’m Getting Sentimental Over You” which is clipped at the end.

@@bobdavis4848 Actually after listening the 1st track I didn't go beyond 15 to 20 mins & I discovered that. I did not listen what was there after 46... I guessed it would be same throughout. It is a Hodgepodge
