Beautiful Love
Anita O’Day Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You are a mystery
Beautiful love
What have you done to me
I was content till you came along
Thrilling me with your song.
Beautiful love
Searching for my dream to realize
Reaching for heaven depending on you
Beautiful love
Will my dreams come true.
Reaching for heaven depending on you
Beautiful love
Will my dreams come true.
Anita O'Day's "Beautiful Love" is a heart-wrenching song that highlights the theme of love and its profound impact on individuals. The song uses the metaphor of a mystery to describe the elusive nature of love. The first two lines of the song "Beautiful love, You are a mystery, Beautiful love, What have you done to me," show the singer's confusion and astonishment at the impact that love has had on their life. The singer initially had no interest in finding love, but they found themselves caught up in its allure, entranced by the song of their suitor.
The third and fourth lines of the song, "I was content till you came along, Thrilling me with your song," highlight how the suitor has upended the singer's contentment and introduced them to the thrills of love. However, as the song progresses, the singer becomes more aware of the challenges that come with searching for love. They realize that in their quest to realize their dreams, they may have ruined their own paradise. The lines "Beautiful love, I've ruined your paradise, Searching for my dream to realize," indicate that the singer has gone against the natural flow of love and instead made selfish decisions that have interfered with the relationship's harmony.
The last lines of the song, "Reaching for heaven depending on you, Beautiful love, Will my dreams come true?" show the singer's desperation and vulnerability. They realize that they have become dependent on their lover to fulfill their dreams and are wondering whether their love will be enough to make them a reality. Overall, the song's message is that love can be complicated and bring both joy and heartache, but it is worth the risk.
