The Breeze and I
Bob Eberly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That you no longer care
The breeze and I are whispering goodbye
To dreams we used to share
Ours was a love song that seemed constant as the moon
Ending in a strange, mournful tune
And all about me, they know you have departed without me
And we wonder why, the breeze and I
The breeze and I
The lyrics to Bob Eberly/Jimmy Dorsey's song The Breeze and I describe a love that has come to an end. The singer suggests that both they and the breeze are feeling the pain of the loss, mourning the dreams they once shared. The song references the idea that the relationship was once like a constant, unchanging love song, but has now ended like a mournful tune, leaving the singer wondering why their love has departed.
The use of the breeze as a metaphor or symbol for the emotional turmoil the singer is experiencing is particularly effective. It captures the idea that something as intangible as a feeling can still be felt, and that other entities, even the natural world, are affected by it. There is a sense of helplessness and confusion that runs throughout the song, as the singer tries to understand why their love has ended.
Overall, the lyrics to The Breeze and I are a poignant reminder of the pain and sadness that can come with the end of a relationship. They illustrate the complex emotions we experience when we lose someone we love, and the struggle to make sense of it all.

Hi Jane! Thank you for the kind note. I have such a soft spot for my Uncle's voice, it's power and beauty. I appreciate your love for my uncle's music and I hope you'll watch for some of my uncle's music on my YouTube page soon! Happy Holidays, Jan

I have autographed photos of Bob, Helen, and Jimmy! Bob has long been one of my favorite vocalists; ever since the first time I heard him and the band when I listened to 'Tangerine' I've been collecting their music and videos. Have you seen 'The Fleet's In' (1942)? It features Bob, Helen, and the entire band.

@@musicrestore7791 Thank you, Logan, for the great note! My Uncle Bob would be very pleased that you are such a fan. He had a powerful voice, much like my grandfather's. My father, Ray, possessed a slightly different quality than his big brother, Bob. They were both pioneers of the Jazz Era and contributed so much. Take good care and keep on listening! Best! Jan
