Misty
Crosby Bing Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree
Ah, I'm walkin' on a cloud
I can't understand, Lord
I'm misty holdin' your hand
Walk my way
And a thousand violins begin to play
That music I hear, Lord
I'm misty the moment you're near
You can say that you're leadin' me on
But it's just what I want you to do
Don't ya notice how hopelessly I'm lost
That's why I'm followin' you
Ooh, on my own
Should I wander through this wonderland alone, now
Never knowin' my right foot from my left
My hat from my glove, Lord
I'm misty, and too much in love
You can say that you're leadin' me on
But it's just what I want you to do
Don't ya notice how hopelessly I'm lost
That's why I'm followin' you
Ooh, on my own
Should I wander through this wonderland alone, now
Never knowin' my right foot from my left
My hat from my glove, Lord
I'm misty, and too much in love
(Misty) too much in love
(Misty) too much in love
(Misty)
(Misty) too much in love
The song "Misty" by Bing Crosby is a romantic ballad that describes the feelings of the singer when he is with his beloved. In the first stanza, he compares himself to a helpless kitten up a tree and feels like he is walking on a cloud. The moments spent holding her hand seem mystical and mesmerizing, which is why he feels like he is in a state of mistiness when he is with her.
In the second stanza, he says that when she walks towards him, it feels like thousands of violins start playing or just the sound of her "hello" is enough to make him feel like he is in a musical wonderland. He acknowledges that he may be led on, but that is what he wants, as it's impossible to ignore the hopelessly lost feeling he has when he is with her. In the final stanza, he expresses his fear of losing her and being alone in the wonderland, where he won't know his right from his left. He confesses that he is too much in love and proposes the name Misty as a tribute to the way he feels in her company.

I should have had Perry Como on that list, also.

I saw somewhere that the head of the Dorsey band that Frank Sinatra was singing with, gave Frank one of Bing's records and told him, "This is how I want you to sound". Bing was the model for all of them: Sinatra, Dean Martin, Andy Williams, and more!

Bing, as Sinatra said, "Bing was the Father of Frank's career."
