This Love
Frank Chacksfield And Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This love of mine goes on and on
Though life is empty since you have gone
You're always on my mind, though out of sight
It's lonesome through the day
And oh, the night

I cry my heart out, it's bound to break
Since nothing matters, let it break
I ask the sun and the moon
The stars that shine
What's to become of it
This love of mine

I cry my heart out, it's bound to break
Since nothing matters, so let it break
I ask the sun and the moon
The stars that shine
What's to become of it




This love of mine
This love of mine goes on

The singer speaks about his/her enduring love that has persisted even after his/her lover has left. The song's opening line, "This love of mine goes on and on," sets the tone for the rest of the song, where the singer confesses to being unable to let go of their love.

The singer also mentions how their life has become empty since his/her lover has gone. This line recognizes the fact that losing someone you love can make life seem meaningless. They admit to constantly thinking about their love interest, even though they are out of sight. The lyrics "It's lonesome through the day, but oh! the night" suggest that the singer finds it hardest to cope during the night when he/she is alone with their thoughts.

The following lines suggest that the singer has cried his/her heart out, and they wonder what will become of their love. The plea to the sun, moon, and stars is perhaps the only ray of hope, as they seek guidance from the universe in understanding what will happen to their love.


Line by Line Meaning

This love of mine goes on and on,
My love is endless and everlasting, it keeps going no matter what.


Though life is empty since you have gone.
Since you left my life, it has become hollow and meaningless.


You're always on my mind, though out of sight,
Even though I can't see you, you are always on my thoughts and in my heart.


It's lonesome through the day,
The day is difficult to get through without you.


But oh! the night.
But the night is even harder because that's when my loneliness and longing for you intensifies.


I cry my heart out, it's bound to break,
I cry so much for you that my heart is in danger of shattering.


Since nothing matters, let it break.
Since everything feels meaningless without you, I am okay with my heart breaking over this love.


I ask the sun and the moon,
I turn to the universe for answers.


The stars that shine,
I look to the brightest and most beautiful things in the sky.


What's to become of it,
What will happen to this love of mine?


This love of mine.
This love that is so strong and enduring, it belongs to me.
