The Day I See You Again Lyrics
Walking home from work tonight
Your letter warm
I'm holding tight
Said you want to see me soon
I phoned you late this afternoon
The bar we first met
Seems alive
I'll see you there at eight tonight
Shouldn't think like this but
Is there something in us meeting now?
All this time
I've waited knowing
Though I've changed
My heart's still showing
I'll wear a new dress
Wash my clothes
I'll wear the earrings that you chose
If the man you've grown to be
Is more Morrison than Morrisey
I'll tell you straight
As we undress that
Things got better when you left and
Though I've banned your name since then
I'll call it with my dying breath
No one else
Would have me so
I've made this day of all days
The day i see you again
Will you know me
Will I cry
Will the years that passed decide
That even we who loved and lied
Shouldn't meet again tonight
Your letter warm
I'm holding tight
Said you want to see me soon
I phoned you late this afternoon
Seems alive
I'll see you there at eight tonight
Shouldn't think like this but
Is there something in us meeting now?
I've waited knowing
Though I've changed
My heart's still showing
Wash my clothes
I'll wear the earrings that you chose
If the man you've grown to be
Is more Morrison than Morrisey
As we undress that
Things got better when you left and
Though I've banned your name since then
I'll call it with my dying breath
Would have me so
I've made this day of all days
The day i see you again
Will I cry
Will the years that passed decide
That even we who loved and lied
Shouldn't meet again tonight

Pretty self explanatory. A girl get a letter from an old flame. She thinks there may be a chance of getting back together or at least a chance of sex with her ex.
I love the line:
"If the man you've grown to be Is more Morrison than Morrisey"
It always makes me laugh. Does her ex look more like Van Morrison than Morrisey these days.
Beautiful song.
Think it's more likely that it's Jim Morrison myself! ;o)
"Though I've banned your name since then I'll call it with my dying breath"
the greatest line ever.
This song is simply amazing!!! It explores a state of being termed "infatuation". It unintentionally exposes our unyielding pursuit of achieving happiness through the conflict of emotion and reason. This tune is purely original, in that it acknowledges the condition of unrealistic expectation of blissful passion without reciprocity. What makes this song truly meaningful is the lyricist's vocal expression and recognition of the unattainable desire, as brilliantly told in the chorus: "All this time, I've waited knowing". Ironic!! This admission unknowingly gifts the remarkable sense of self-realization thereby decompressing the significance of the infatuation.
