A pair of Philadelphia boys, Al Alberts and Dave Mahoney, finding themselves in the North Atlantic in the Navy in WWII, killed time by singing together. Joining two more local boys, Rosario and Louis, they formed the Four Aces, following in the footsteps of the Ames Brothers. Their first hit was "(It's No) Sin," which was shopped to no avail to New York record companies, and finally released by Al, who started his own record company, Victoria Records, to do it. The song peaked on Billboard's charts at #4 in 1951, and the Aces were quickly signed by Decca. The group-written "Tell Me Why," "A Garden in the Rain," "Perfidia," "I'm Yours" and "Heart and Soul" were next to climb high on the charts. Appearing frequently on TV, Aces singles "La Rosita," "Just Squeeze Me," "Laughing on the Outside" and "The Gang that Sang (Heart of My Heart)" were among 8 of the group's hits in 1952. "Stranger in Paradise" went to #2 on the charts, which the Aces finally topped with the theme from the movie "Three Coins in a Fountain." Popular hits "Dream" and "So Long," followed, and "Mr. Sandman" and "Melody of Love" scored in Billboard's top five before the floodgates of Rock 'n Roll opened in 1955, and even that year the Aces had another chart-topper with "Love is a Many Splendored Thing." "Heart" features 24 of the group's (all accompanied) upbeat, romantic tunes in a nicely done package with group history and photos. For smooth quintessential 50s pop harmonies, Four Aces win every time!
Woman In Love
Four Aces Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And oh, how they give you away
Why try to deny you're a woman in love
When I know very well what I say
I say no moon in the sky
Ever lent such a glow
some flame deep within made them shine
And may they gaze ever more into mine
Crazily gaze ever more into mine
The Four Aces's song, "Woman In Love" is a poetic depiction of the physical and emotional signs of being in love. The lyrics imply a sense of surrender to one's attraction and the vulnerability that comes along with it. The opening line, "Your eyes are the eyes of a woman in love" sets the tone for the rest of the song, suggesting that there are particular tell-tale signs of being in love.
In the second line, the singer addresses the reluctance that some people might have about admitting to their own feelings, suggesting that the eyes don't lie. The next few lines of the song describe the eyes in question as being particularly striking, glowing like "no moon in the sky ever lent." What makes these eyes so beautiful is perhaps the "flame deep within" that shines through them.
The final lines of the song are addressed directly to the person with the eyes in question, with the singer hoping that these eyes will "gaze ever more into mine." The repetition of the word "ever" suggests a sense of timelessness and a hope for the future, setting up the idea that this is a love that will last—and that the singer wishes it to.
Line by Line Meaning
Your eyes are the eyes of a woman in love
I can see the love in your eyes and it is unmistakable.
And oh, how they give you away
Your eyes betray your true feelings, and it's obvious to me.
Why try to deny you're a woman in love
There's no point in trying to hide the fact that you're in love.
When I know very well what I say
I am certain about what I am saying, and I can see that you're in love with someone.
I say no moon in the sky
I have never seen a moon in the sky as bright and radiant as your eyes.
Ever lent such a glow
Your eyes shine with such intensity, as if they have a light of their own.
some flame deep within made them shine
There is a passion burning inside of you that is reflected in the brightness of your eyes.
Those eyes are the eyes of a woman in love
Your eyes express the love that you feel, and there is no hiding it.
And may they gaze ever more into mine
May your eyes continue to look into mine with the same love and intensity that they show now.
Crazily gaze ever more into mine
I want your eyes to look into mine with a passion and intensity that borders on madness.

One of those songs of the midfifties I used to hear on the radio in such times. Always liked the nice slow rhythm and the voices of the singers. And it is still good to hear over sixty years later.

The Four Aces had alot of hit records and rightly so because they were great. Two Thumbs Up for this one.
Milton Moore
Hits by groups and soloists with gorgeous voices singing beautiful melodies from this era were so unremittably prevalent that it seemed they would never end. It was a non-stop music-fest on a.m. radio. So grateful for the experience.
