Dedicated To You
Billy Eckstine & Sarah Vaughan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That showed the loveliness of you,
My art would be,
Like my heart and me,
Dedicated to you.
To you,
Because your love is the beacon that lights up my way.
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.
The opening lines of โDedicated to Youโ by Sarah Vaughan and Billy Eckstine speak to the profound beauty felt towards another individual. The singer explains that no artistic attempt could ever capture the full extent of this loveliness. However, they describe that if they were to paint a picture that came even slightly close, it would be much like the love within their own heart. This love and its admiration for the addressee is the focal point of the song.
The chorus repeatedly declares that this sentiment is dedicated to the individual receiving the message. They explain that this love is a beacon of light that guides them, and that their love is so strong that even a mere glimpse of that love would make an entire lifetime feel like a single day in the heavens. The song offers a glimpse into the magnitude of love felt by the singer, and expressively communicates its value to the person they are singing about.

And if I should paint a picture too
If I were to paint a picture that portrays your beauty and loveliness
That showed the loveliness of you,
A painting that captures the grace and charm of your being
My art would be,
My creation would reflect the love I have for you
Like my heart and me,
My soul and my art would belong solely to you
Dedicated to you.
As a token of my love, I dedicate my art to you
To you,
My expression of devotion is directed towards you
Because your love is the beacon that lights up my way.
I am guided by the shining light of your love
Because with you I know a lifetime could be just one heavenly day.
Being with you makes time seem irrelevant as every moment is blissful
If I should find a twinkling star,
In the vast expanse of the universe, if I discover a radiant celestial body
One half as wondrous as you are,
If it were only half as amazing and spectacular as you are
That star would be
It would symbolize the wonder and awe your presence inspires
Like my heart and me,
Just as my heart and soul cherish and adore you
Dedicated to you.
That star would serve as a tribute to my eternal love for you
