Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

With all my heart an' soul, I love you
With all my heart an' soul, I care
With every dream I dream, I love you
You are the answer to my prayer!

Take the world, take everything that I own
Leave me, just you alone
I only live each day to love you
With all my heart an' soul, I'm yours!

Linda linda música

@RoryVanucchi

Very good.. Paula Kelly a little under rated.. Nice voice and handles swing well.. Like her on In The Mood

@td3993

Savitt's shuffle version with Carlotta definitely takes the cake, but this one is smooth.

@alonzochurch3194

I like the vocalist willing this somewhat over swung arrangement back into a more romantic and emotional approach .

@Trombonology

Paula was a fine singer. Good version, although I do prefer the Clinton treatment, which I consider quietly dramatic rather than "sedate."
