This Love Of Mine
Bob Crosby & His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Though life is empty since you have gone
You're always on my mind, though out of sight
It's lonesome through the day
And oh, the night
I cry my heart out, it's bound to break
Since nothing matters, let it break
The stars that shine
What's to become of it
This love of mine
I cry my heart out, it's bound to break
Since nothing matters, so let it break
I ask the sun and the moon
The stars that shine
What's to become of it
This love of mine
This love of mine goes on
and on, a haunting and lonely anthem of lost love that is both sad and beautiful. The lyrics impart the message about the pain of love that is no longer present, and the longing and yearning for what was once there. The song is tinged with melancholy and there is a deep sense of yearning and desolation that is conveyed through the words of the song. The singer is desperate to find answers as to what will become of the love he once shared with his partner, now that it has been lost. The love may have gone but the memories and the pain linger on.
The lyrics are incredibly powerful, and they evoke a sense of sadness and longing, creating a yearning for something that may never be regained. The words also suggest that the singer is struggling to cope with the loss of love, indicating that he is in deep pain and unable to move on. Indeed, the phrase "I cry my heart out, it's bound to break" is both tragic and poignant, capturing the depths of despair and anguish that the singer is feeling.
