La la la la la la lala la
La la la la la la lala la
La la la la la la lala la
La la la la la la lala la
For you
There might be another star
But through my eyes the light of you it's all I see
For you

There might be another song
But all my heart can hear is your melody
So long ago my heart without demanding
Informed me that no other love could do
But listen did I not though understanding
Fell in love with one
Who would break my heart in two
For you
Love might bring a toast of wine
But which each sparkle know the best for you I pray
For you
Love might be for you to find
But I will celebrate our love of yesterday
So long ago my heart without demanding
Informed me that no other love could do
But listen did I not though understanding
Fell in love with one
Who would break my heart in two
For you
There might be another star
But through my eyes the light of you it's all I see
For you

There might be another song
But in my heart your melody will stay with me

Overall Meaning

The first stanza establishes a romantic and dreamy atmosphere with the la-la-la's being repeated seven times. Through her eyes, the singer sees only the subject of the song, and her heart can only hear the melody of this person. She is aware that other stars and songs may exist in the world, but they cannot compare to the one she loves. This idea is repeated in the chorus, highlighting the dedication and devotion of the singer towards her lover.

The second stanza delves into the past, as the singer reflects on a time when her heart had already chosen the person she loves. Even though she knew that no other love could compare, she fell in love with someone who eventually betrayed her. The third stanza is a prayer where the singer asks for the well-being of her lover, wishing that every sparkle in their life is the best for them. She also acknowledges that love may be found elsewhere by this person, but the love they shared in the past will forever be celebrated.
