You Belong To Me
Dean Martin With Dick Stabile And His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now and forever
And our love had its start
Not long ago
We were gathering stars while a million guitars played our love song
When I said, "I love you", every beat of my heart said it, too
Do you remember?
And your eyes threw a kiss
When they met mine
Now, we own all the stars, and a million guitars are still playing
Darling, you are the song, and you'll always belong to my heart
'Twas a moment like this
Do you remember?
And your eyes threw a kiss
When they met mine
Now, we own all the stars, and a million guitars are still playing
Darling, you are the song, and you'll always belong to my heart
The lyrics to Dean Martin's "You Belong To Me" express a deep and enduring affection for someone special. From the very first line "you belong to my heart", the singer is declaring that the object of his affections is a part of him and always will be. The second line "now and forever" reinforces this sense of permanence and commitment. The singer goes on to recall how their love began "not long ago" and how they were "gathering stars while a million guitars played our love song". This is a romantic and idealistic image, suggesting that their love is like a cosmic event, something that transcends ordinary experience.
The chorus repeats the idea that the singer's love interest will always belong to his heart, and that they share a special and powerful connection. The repetition of the lines "do you remember?" and "when they met mine" highlight the importance of memories and the way that people can become imprinted on each other's lives. The final lines "darling, you are the song, and you'll always belong to my heart" sum up the message of the song - that the singer's love is pure and eternal and that nothing can come between him and the one he loves.
