John Coltrane (tenor sax), McCoy Tyner (piano), Jimmy Garrison (bass) and Elvin Jones (drums). From the album Ballads (1963).
Tell me again, tell me you love me. Tell me that all our disagreements have vanished in the past. Tell me that what we feel is authentic. Tell me that whatever happens we will continue being together until the end. Tell me that we will face all the problems and we will always solve them. Tell me we're an invincible team. Tell me that everyday life is not going to turn off our love. Tell me we will always be together. Tell me we are made for each other. Tell me again, tell me you love me.
Coltrane starts accompanied by Tyner with a soft and harmonious melody preparing to say something. Start to sketch the first words, but return to the soft melody. Enter Tyner repeating the theme reminding Coltrane, who begins to talk about a love at first sight. Only with the first greeting did they already have each other. He tells the girl that he will never leave her, that all she has to do is to put his heart in his hands and he will love her again and again. He will take care of her day and night, and keep her safe. Tyner ends with a sweet phrase that embellishes the ending.
