Mine
Bing Crosby & Judy Garland Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or the glamorous sky of blue
Maybe it was the mood I was in
Or maybe it was really you, really you
This heart of mine was doing very well
The world was fine as far as i could tell
And then quite suddenly i saw you, and i dreamed of gay amours
This heart of mine is gaily dancing now
I taste the wine of real romancing now
Somehow this crazy world has taken on a wonderful design
As long as life endures, it's yours, this heart of mine
The lyrics to Bing Crosby and Judy Garland's duet, "Mine," speak of a sudden shift in the heart when the right person is encountered. The song suggests that it could be the musical accompaniment or the beautiful sky that set things off, but ultimately, the singer's mood and connection to the person in question are the catalysts. The singer's heart was content before, but suddenly, life has taken on new meaning and romantic possibilities. The singer now wakes up with songs in their head and a newfound sense of joy.
The opening lines set the scene and create a sense of wonder and magic. The suggestion that it could be the music, the sky of blue, or something else entirely that sparked the change in the singer's heart creates a sense of mystery and possibility. From there, the lyrics describe the shift in the singer's emotions and the newfound feelings of romance and happiness. The final lines, "As long as life endures, it's yours, this heart of mine," express a sense of devotion and commitment to whomever has won the singer's heart.

Maybe it was the music
I'm unsure what caused my change in mood
Or the glamorous sky of blue
The beautiful setting may have played a part
Maybe it was the mood I was in
Perhaps I was just feeling particularly emotional
Or maybe it was really you, really you
But ultimately, I believe it was because of you
This heart of mine was doing very well
I was content and satisfied before I met you
The world was fine as far as I could tell
My surroundings and circumstances were good enough
And then quite suddenly I saw you, and I dreamed of gay amours
But when I met you, I started imagining a happier, more romantic life
At dawn I wake up singing sentimental overtures
I wake up with a new, sentimental outlook on life
This heart of mine is gaily dancing now
My heart is filled with joy and happiness now
I taste the wine of real romancing now
I'm experiencing real, meaningful romance for the first time
Somehow this crazy world has taken on a wonderful design
Despite the chaos and craziness of the world, everything now seems good and perfect
As long as life endures, it's yours, this heart of mine
I want to give you my heart for as long as I live
