For the Millionth and the Last Time

The singer is trying to leave after saying goodnight, but he keeps asking for one more kiss. His promise to go is sincere in the moment, yet the repeated requests show that he cannot quite bring himself to leave. The mood is affectionate and playful, with a little comic frustration as the farewell keeps being delayed.

“Millionth” is an exaggeration: it suggests that the couple have already said goodbye and kissed many times, not that he has counted them. “A kiss to dream on” means a final kiss he can remember while falling asleep. The image of the goodbye “disappearing from sight” makes the farewell seem to fade away as he lingers.

The title’s “millionth and the last time” sounds decisive, but the lyrics undermine that certainty. Each supposed last kiss leads to another request, so “last” may be more teasing than dependable. The singer might be joking about his weakness for affection, or expressing genuine reluctance to end the evening. Either way, the repeated goodnight feels less like a firm departure than a ritual the two keep extending.
