Sweet and Lovely
Billy Vaughn & His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sweeter than the roses in May
Sweet and lovely
Heaven must have sent him my way
Skies above me
Never were as blue as his eyes
And he loves me
When he nestles in my arms so tenderly
There's a thrill that words cannot express
In my heart a song of love is taunting me
Melody haunting me
Sweet and lovely
Sweeter than the roses in May
And he loves me
There is nothing more I can say
When he nestles in my arms so tenderly
There's a thrill that words cannot express
In my heart a song of love is taunting me
Melody haunting me
Sweet and lovely
Sweeter than the roses in May
And he loves me
There is nothing more I can say
There is nothing more I can say
There is nothing more I can say
There is nothing more I can say
There is nothing more I can say
The song "Sweet and Lovely" by Billy Vaughn & His Orchestra is a romantic tribute to the feeling of falling in love. The lyrics speak of a love that is sweeter than the roses in May and how the singer believes that this love was sent to them by heaven. The skies have never been as blue as the eyes of their loved one and the thrill of being held in their arms cannot be expressed in words. The singer's heart is filled with a song of love that is haunting and beautiful.
The lyrics also express the simplicity of the love that the singer feels. There is no need for grand gestures or declarations of love, just the comfort of being held by their loved one. The repetition of the line "there is nothing more I can say" reinforces the fact that sometimes, the simplest things are the most powerful.
"Sweet and Lovely" has been covered by many artists, including jazz legends such as Ella Fitzgerald and Nat King Cole. The song has also been featured in several movies and TV shows, including the 2007 film "The Jane Austen Book Club" and the TV series "Mad Men."
