Eddie Fisher Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Strange dear, but true, dear
When I'm close to you, dear
The stars fill the sky
So in love with you am I

Even without you
My arms fold about you
You know darling why

So in love with you am I

In love with the night mysterious
The night when you first were there
In love with my joy delirious
When I knew that you could care

So taunt me and hurt me
Deceive me, desert me
I'm yours till I die

So in love, so in love
So in love with you, my love, am I
