Song Meaning of “Until It’s Time For You To Go – The Afternoon Show, 2012 Mix” by Elvis Presley
This soulful and heart-wrenching song by Elvis Presley tells an all-too-familiar story of a love that starts with optimism only to be eventually cut short by inevitability. With tender yet strained vocals and a subtle guitar melody, Elvis’ rendition illustrates the narrator’s mixed feeling of hope and loss as he expresses his love for his special someone.
The narrator admits his love for this person, yet knows that their time together is limited. He makes a promise to love her until it’s time for her to go, knowing all too well that it is inevitable. He pleads for her to understand and to accept that their love will come to an end, and expresses his hope that she knows the depth of what he feels for her.
Although the narrator anticipates the end of their love, he finds solace in the time they have together. He cherishes their moments spent together, knowing that when she leaves, she’ll still be in his memory and in his heart. It’s a bittersweet story of understanding and patience, knowing that although they may both be hurt, they can still come out of it with love in their hearts.
