I'll String Along With You
Dean Martín Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause angels are so few
But until the day that one comes along
I'll string along with you
I'm looking for an angel
To sing my love song to
And until the day that one comes along
I'll string along with you
Say I have three or four
The human little fault that you do have
Just make me love you more
You may not be angel
But still I'm sure you'll do
So until that day that one comes along
I'll string along with you
For every little fault that you have
Say I have three or four
The human little fault that you do have
Just make me love you more
You may not be angel
But still I'm sure you'll do
So until that day that one comes along
I'll string along with you
The lyrics of Dean Martin's "I'll String Along with You" reflect the romantic and affectionate nature of the song. Martin professes that the person he is addressing may not be an angel, but he will stick around until he finds someone who is. He is searching for perfection, but in the meantime, he is willing to stay with the person. He acknowledges their flaws but finds himself loving them more because of them. Despite their imperfections, he still believes that they are enough for him until he finds the one he is searching for. The lyrics take a realistic and charming approach to relationships, understanding that no one is perfect but still finding the beauty in the imperfections.
The song conveys a sense of hopeful romanticism, and the lyrics are enhanced by Martin's smooth and soothing voice. The melody evokes a sense of calmness and reassurance, inviting the listener to join Martin in his optimistic search for love. The song's popularity has endured since its release in 1934, and it has been covered by many artists over the years, including Bing Crosby, Doris Day, and Frank Sinatra. It is a timeless classic that continues to resonate with people of all ages and backgrounds, encapsulating the universal desire for love and companionship.

You may not be an angel
You may not be a perfect person
'Cause angels are so few
Because there are very few perfect people in the world
But until the day that one comes along
Until I find that perfect person
I'll string along with you
I'll continue to be with you
I'm looking for an angel
I'm searching for a perfect person
To sing my love song to
To share my feelings of love with
And until the day that one comes along
Until I find that perfect person
I'll string along with you
I'll continue to be with you
For every little fault that you have
Even though you have imperfections
Say I have three or four
I also have faults
The human little fault that you do have
Your imperfections are just part of being human
Just make me love you more
Your faults make me love you even more
You may not be angel
You may not be perfect
But still I'm sure you'll do
But I'm confident you're good enough for me
So until that day that one comes along
Until I find that perfect person
I'll string along with you
I'll continue to be with you
