Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here in my heart I'm alone, I'm so lonely
Here in my heart I just yearn for you only
Here in my arms I long to hold you
Hold you so near, ever close to my heart
So, darling

Say that you care, take these arms I give gladly
Surely you know I need your love so badly
Here is my heart, my life, and my all, dear
Please be mine and stay here in my heart

Say that you care, take these arms I give gladly
Surely you know I need your love so badly




Here is my heart, my life, and my all, dear
Please be mine and stay here in my heart

The song paints a picture of someone who is alone with their thoughts, imagining holding their beloved close to their heart. The lyrics express a deep need for the love of the person they care about, asking them to acknowledge their feelings and embrace their affection.


The opening line, "Here in my heart I'm alone, I'm so lonely," sets the tone for the rest of the song.

Throughout the song, the singer asks for their love to reciprocate their feelings and to recognize how much they need them.


One of the things that make Al Martino's "Here in My Heart" an emotional song is the way it recognizes the value of another person's love. It is essentially a plea for the other person to see the depth of the singer's emotions and to respond in kind. It is a poignant reminder that love is a two-way street, and that it requires the active participation of both parties to be truly fulfilling.
