The One I Love Belongs To Somebody Else
Cook's Dreamland Orchestra Feat. Freddie Keppard Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When days are long and nights are lonely
And all my daydreams have gone astray
I think about the one and only
Who's bound to find me some golden day

The one I love is coming along some day
And I'll have none except the one I love
He/She may be near or ever so far away
But I'll have none except the one I love

And though our meeting is left to chance
Until our meeting
I still will have my dream romance




And through the night I pray to the moon above
To please be kind and find the one I love

When days are long and nights are lonely
During times when life feels overwhelming and isolating


And all my daydreams have gone astray
And my hopes and fantasies aren't panning out as I'd hoped


I think about the one and only
I focus on the person I truly love


Who's bound to find me some golden day
Believing that they will come into my life at the right moment to make everything better


The one I love is coming along some day
I remain hopeful that the person I love will show up in my life

No one else will be able to take their place


He/She may be near or ever so far away
Their whereabouts are still unclear


But I'll have none except the one I love
Regardless of their distance or circumstances, no one else will suffice


And though our meeting is left to chance
Despite the uncertain nature of our eventual meeting


Until our meeting
Until that fateful moment arrives


I still will have my dream romance
I'll keep the idea of my dream love affair alive in my heart


And through the night I pray to the moon above
I find solace in prayer and strive for guidance from a higher power


To please be kind and find the one I love
Asking the universe to bring the love of my life into my existence
