My Heart and I Decided
Ella Fitzgerald & Her Four Keys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My heart and I decided
If you like it, we'd like it too
Secluded with you

My heart and I decided
We'd find heaven, blue heaven too
Secluded with you
Up on the Prairie or out on a desert
Where tumbleweeds stumble around
High on a mountain or deep in a valley
Or some little alley in town

My heart and I decided
It's just too, too good to be true
Secluded with you

My heart and I decided
We'd find heaven, blue heaven too
Secluded with you

Up on the Prairie or out on a desert
Where tumbleweeds stumble around
High on a mountain or deep in a valley
Or some little alley in town

My heart and I decided




It's just too, too good to be true
When I'm secluded with you

Line by Line Meaning

My heart and I decided
Myself and my innermost feelings have come to an agreement


If you like it, we'd like it too
We share the same taste as you


Secluded with you
Being alone with you away from the rest of the world


We'd find heaven, blue heaven too
We'll discover happiness and contentment, just like heaven


Up on the Prairie or out on a desert
Whether in an open grassland or barren land


Where tumbleweeds stumble around
Where the wind carries rolling plant debris


High on a mountain or deep in a valley
On a tall peak or within a low basin


Or some little alley in town
Or in a small street within a busy area


It's just too, too good to be true
It's almost unbelievable how wonderful it is


When I'm secluded with you
When it's just the two of us alone

Or some little alley in town

My heart and I decided
It's just too, too good to be true
When I'm secluded with you

I didn't know the Four Keys recorded with her. Nice piece. Very well recorded for the period.
