I Love You So
Dave Lewis Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yesterday you came my way,
And when you smiled at me,
In my heart I felt a thrill you see,
That it was love at sight and
I was right to love you as I do.
Still I never dreamed that you could love me too.

Your eyes of blue, your kisses too,

I never knew what they could do.
I can't believe that you're in love with me.

You're telling ev'ry one I know
I'm on your mind each place we go
They can't believe that you're in love with me.

I have always placed you far above me.
I just can't imagine that you love me.
And after all is said and done,
To think that I'm the lucky one.
I can't believe that you're in love with me.

Skies are gray. I'm blue each day
When you are not around.
Ev'ry thing goes wrong, my dear I've found
But when you're by my side I fill with pride
For I'm so proud of you
It all seems too good to me to all be true

Your eyes of blue, your kisses too,
I never knew what they could do.
I can't believe that you're in love with me.

You're telling ev'ry one I know
I'm on your mind each place we go
They can't believe that you're in love with me.

I have always placed you far above me.
I just can't imagine that you love me.
And after all is said and done,

To think that I'm the lucky one.
I can't believe that you're in love with me.

Overall Meaning

The song "I Love You So" by Dave Lewis is a classic love ballad with timeless lyrics that perfectly capture the feeling of falling in love. The opening lines "Yesterday you came my way, and when you smiled at me, in my heart I felt a thrill you see" set the tone for the rest of the song, which is all about the joy and wonder of being loved by someone you admire and adore.

The chorus repeats the sentiment that the singer, even after falling in love, cannot believe that the person they love could feel the same way about them. The lines "I have always placed you far above me, I just can't imagine that you love me" express a deep vulnerability and insecurity that many people experience in relationships, despite their partner's consistent devotion. The song captures the essence of the fear of rejection that often characterizes early stages of love and the relief and joy that comes when that fear is overcome.

The melody of the song is simple and sweet, mirroring the lyrics' sense of innocent infatuation. It has been covered by a number of jazz and swing musicians and remains a beloved classic love song to this day.

Yesterday you came my way,
You entered my life yesterday,

And when you smiled at me,
And when you showed me your smile,

I felt excitement in my heart,

That it was love at sight and
That I fell in love with you at first sight and

I was right to love you as I do.
It was right for me to love you as much as I do now.

Still I never dreamed that you could love me too.
But I never imagined that you could also love me back in the same way.

Your eyes of blue, your kisses too,
Your blue eyes and your kisses,

I never knew what they could do.
I never knew the power they held over me.

You're telling everyone I know,

I'm on your mind each place we go
That I'm on your mind everywhere we go,

They can't believe that you're in love with me.
Others have a hard time believing that you love me.

I have always placed you far above me.
I always thought of you as better than me,

Despite everything that has happened,

To think that I'm the lucky one.
I feel so lucky to have you by my side.

Skies are gray. I'm blue each day
My days are sad with gray skies,

When you are not around.
Whenever you're not there.

Ev'ry thing goes wrong, my dear I've found
Everything seems to go wrong,

But when you're by my side I fill with pride
But when you're with me, I feel happy and proud,

For I'm so proud of you
Because I'm proud to be with you,

It all seems too good to me to all be true
It all seems too good to be true for me.
