In The Mood
Edgar Hayes and Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Simply because you're near me.
Funny, but when you're near me
I'm in the mood for love.
Heaven is in your eyes
Bright as the stars we're under
Oh! Is it any wonder
Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade?
We've put our hearts together
Now we are one, I'm not afraid!
If there's a cloud above
If it should rain we'll let it
But for tonight, forget it!
I'm in the mood for love

I'm in the mood for love
I am feeling romantically inclined
Simply because you're near me.
Because you are close to me, I feel this way
Funny, but when you're near me
It is strange, but when you are close to me
Heaven is in your eyes
Your eyes are beautiful like the sky
Bright as the stars we're under
As bright as the stars that surround us
Oh! Is it any wonder
Is it any surprise
I'm in the mood for love?
That I am feeling romantically inclined?
Why stop to think of whether
Why bother to consider if
This little dream might fade?
This brief romantic moment may not last?
We've put our hearts together
We have joined our feelings
Now we are one, I'm not afraid!
Now we are united, and I am not fearful
If there's a cloud above
If there is something negative in the air
If it should rain we'll let it
If there is a problem, we will accept it
But for tonight, forget it!
But tonight, we should not worry about it
I'm in the mood for love
I am feeling romantically inclined

At least equal to Miller's big hit...maybe better in some ways.

This isn’t a Glenn Miller song?
C Porter
not at all. Miller just had the final evolution of it made. It first appeared (debatably) in 1931 in Wingy Manone's Tar Paper Stomp, though arguments can be made for earlier songs probably.

Glenn Miller didn't write most of the tunes that he made into hits. This is no exception.

@lexo30 Miller employed Joe Garland as a staff arranger. Garland sold his compositions and arrangements to Miller; in any event, Miller edited arrangements in conjunction with his arrangers, which is how In the Mood got its classic status.
