One More Kiss Dear
Vangelis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Only this dear, is goodbye
For our love is such pain and such pleasure
That I'll treasure till I die
So for now dear, Aurevoir, madame
But I bow dear, not farewell
For in time we may have a love's glory
Just as every autumn leaves fall from the tree
Tumble to the ground and die
So in the springtime like sweet memories
They will return as will I
Like the sun dear, upon high
We'll return dear, to the sky
And we'll banish the pain and the sorrow
Until tomorrow, goodbye
One more kiss dear, one more sigh
Only this dear, is goodbye
For our love is such passion, such pleasure
I will treasure until till I die
Like the sun dear, upon high
We'll return dear, to the sky
And we'll banish the pain and the sorrow
Until tomorrow, goodbye
The song "One More Kiss Dear" by Vangelis is a beautiful ballad about a bittersweet romance. The lyrics express the pain and pleasure of a love affair that has to come to an end. The singer is bidding farewell to his lover, knowing that their love will remain a cherished memory forever. The opening line "One more kiss, dear, one more sigh" sets the tone for the entire song. It is a poignant moment, where the singer is asking for one last embrace from his lover before they part ways. The repetition of the phrase "only this dear, is goodbye" emphasizes the finality of the separation.
The second stanza of the song is more optimistic, as the singer hints that they may reunite in the future. The line "But I bow dear, not farewell, for in time we may have a love's glory, our love story to tell" suggests that they will have a chance to continue their romance. The metaphor of nature is used to convey the cyclic nature of life and love. The falling leaves in autumn symbolize the end of a chapter, while the return of memories in the springtime represents a new beginning. The song ends on a hopeful note, with the promise that the pain and sorrow of the present will fade away, and the lovers will reunite again.
