Trust
Billy Eckstine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come to me without more speculation
Have no fear, give me your hand, my dear

Trust in me in all you do
Have the faith I have in you
Love will see us through
If only you trust in me
Come to me when things go wrong
Cling to me and I'll be strong
We can get along
As long as you trust in me

While there's a moon on high
While there's a bird to fly
While there's a you and I
You can be sure I love you

Stand beside me all the while
Face the future with a smile




Trust in me and
I'll be worthy of you

Overall Meaning

In Billy Eckstine's song Trust, the lyrics speak of trust, love, and the relationship between two people. The first verse starts by asking the person to come to the singer without speculation and to have no fear. This implies that perhaps this person has been hurt before and has trust issues. The singer then asks for their hand and tells them to trust in him, having faith in each other and love will conquer all. The next verse says to come to the singer when things go wrong, and they can get through it together as long as they trust each other.


The refrain of the song is about the constancy of love. The love between the two people is so strong that they can be sure it will endure as long as they trust each other. The last verse implies that the singer will always be there for the person and will be worthy of their trust.


Trust is a universal theme that resonates with everyone, making it no surprise that the song was covered by many artists over the years. The song was originally written by Ned Wever and was first recorded by Louis Jordan and his Tympany Five in 1946. Later in the same year, Mildred Bailey recorded the song. However, Billy Eckstine's version released in 1961 was the most successful and made the song popular.

on Jelly, Jelly

The “meaning” of Jelly Jelly seems to have been written by ChatGPT. Surely “jelly”, like “jelly roll” was intended in this song to refer to sex/genitalia, and not something to spread on toast.
