Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

No other love have I
Only my love for you
Only the dream we knew
No other love

Watching the night go by
Wishing that you could be
Watching the night with me

Into the night I cry

Hurry home, come home to me
Set me free
Free from doubt and free from longing

Into your arms I'll fly
Locked in your arms I'll stay
Waiting to hear you say
No other love have I
No other love

(Into the night I cry)
Hurry home, come home to me
Set me free
Free from doubt and free from longing

Into your arms I'll fly
Locked in your arms I'll stay
Waiting to hear you say
No other love have I

No other love

(No other love)
No other love

Perry Como was such a gentleman. I was an LEO at LGA and I brought my parents and two aunts up to the Eastern 1st Class lounge and Perry walked in. Needless to say my aunts went crazy. It turns out they were on the same flight to West Palm Beach and he walked to their seats and had a conversation with them. That really made their flight and talked about it for years.

Funny -- I'm 60, and the only time I've ever heard this was on the "Victory at Sea" albums - as an instrumental - we had at home in the '60s. So, today is the day I know this is a Perry Como song.

My Perry Como Story: During the mid-1980s, I once worked for a microphone design company as a designer. My new microphone was being reviewed for advertisement by an advertising firm in the Mid-West. During the conversation, the question was asked: "Who is your favorite recording artist or artists?" Well, some of the engineers and advertising people said the current pop groups. Foreigner, Michael Jackson, Madonna,... come to mind. It came to me to give my two-cents worth. "Honestly," I said, "My favorite singer of all time and my favorite song is Perry Como singing No Other Love. I've been known to pull my car over to the curb listening to this great tune on the radio." I noticed that a few people from the advertising firm were looking toward a young lady from the firm when she replied: "I'll be certain to let granddad know this." Yep, Mr. Como's granddaughter.

This was originally an instrumental, titled "Beneath The Southern Cross," part of the Victory at Sea sound track from the TV series by Richard Rodgers. When the series aired in the early 1950's I was about 8 years old but it cemented my decision to join the Navy, the best four years of my life that I hated every minute of.

great tune from the incomparable Perry Como. I remember owning a 45 recording of this song and singing along with it when I was a kid. My early karoke efforts. The lyrics were adapted to the Rogers & Hammerstein (lyrics by Hammerstein) Broadway show called Me and Juliet from the 50s. Perry recorded the song in 1953. Perry's recording hit #1 on the Billboard Charts that year.

Maria, Jo Stafford sang a different tune, No Other Love. Her's was actually derived from Chopin's Etude No. 3 Opus 10. Paul Weston, her husband did the arranging, but the credit should go to Chopin. Perry Como is singing Richard Roger's tune from the Broadway show, Me and Juliet which was transformed into a theme, Beneath the Southern Cross for Victory at Sea.

He was a favorite of my wife's and mine since we were children. You are correct. There was "never a hint of scandal around his personal or professional life." He was married one time and remained so until his death. As I recall he had one adopted son. We especially miss his Christmas program.
