Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That brought me fame and fortune too,
That book would be,
Like my heart and me,
Dedicated to you.
And if I should paint a picture too
That showed the loveliness of you,
Like my heart and me,
Dedicated to you.
To you,
Because your love is the beacon that lights up my way.
To you,
Because with you I know a lifetime could be just one heavenly day.
If I should find a twinkling star,
One half as wondrous as you are,
That star would be
Like my heart and me,
Dedicated to you.
To you,
Because your love is the beacon that lights up my way.
To you,
Because with you I know a lifetime could be just one heavenly day.
If I should find a twinkling star,
One half as wondrous as you are,
That star would be
Like my heart and me,
Dedicated to you.

This one of those songs that somehow made it to a burned CD and instantly became a classic but didn’t know the name or artist and eventually lost the CD. Glad I was able to find it again after years of searching.

This is one of my all time favorite oldies! I remember calling to dedicate this song to my son’s father when he was incarcerated. We were two 16 year olds so in love with one another. Our son is now 13 years old. Those were great and unforgettable memories! Thank you, Art Laboe! RIP 🙏🏼🤍
