Monroe sang with some of the "Big Bands" of the '40s era, but his music transcended that style to become a popular radio and television personality - like Perry Como, Dean Martin, etc.
There I've Said It Again
Vaughn Monroe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's better than burning inside
I love you, no use to pretend
There, I've said it again
I've said it, what more can I say
Believe me, there's no other way
I love you, I will to the end
I've tried to drum up
A phrase that would sum up
All that I feel for you
But what good are phrases
The thought that amazes
Is you love me, and it's heavenly
Forgive me for wanting you so
But one thing I want you to know
I've loved you since heaven knows when
There, I've said it again
[Musical interlude]
Forgive me for wanting you so
But one thing I want you to know
I've loved you since heaven knows when
There I go, there I've said it again
The lyrics of Vaughn Monroe's song "There I've Said It Again" express a confession of love. The singer openly declares their love and admits that they have tried to articulate their emotions with phrases, but nothing can sum it up completely. They acknowledge that they have been in love for a long time, and they find it hard to hide their feelings. The singer expresses that they are not pretending and cannot pretend their love any longer.
The singer seems to be asking for forgiveness for how much they want the other person, even though they have been in love with them for a long time. The chorus emphasizes their openness and willingness to express their love repeatedly. They know that they will love the other person until the end, and there's no other way to say it than "There I've said it again." The song's musical interlude helps to create a mood and atmosphere that fits with the lyrics.

Sra.Su descripción es parte de momentos de felicidad plena;,ellos,no se ssfuman nunca.Hoy con sus 85 años,los revive con la intensidad de aquéllos luminosos días." Siempre,mientras sintamos nostalgias conmovedoras,los años se quedan en el presente,y retornamos sintiendo la brisa,las cortinas meciéndose y el aroma de un tiempo mejor. ¡¡Sea muy feliz !

For My Ma (Helen) and My Pop (Blaine). For the five-year-old kid peeping around the kitchen doorway and into the living room to watch his parents slow dance to this jewel. I remember that as if it were yesterday! Man, the persistence of memory is a wondrous thing! For all of those of "The Greatest Generation." They gave all! They should never be forgotten!
