This Love of Mine
Frank Sinatra/Tommy Dorsey & His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Though life is empty since you have gone.
You're always on my mind, though out of sight,
It's lonesome through the day,
But 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,
What's to become of it,
This love of mine.
The lyrics of "This Love of Mine" are truly poignant, conveying the depth of emotion experienced when one is separated from a loved one. The singer's love is strong and enduring, but this only makes their absence all the more painful. The contrast between the day and the night is particularly striking, with the daytime representing the emptiness and loneliness of life without their beloved, and the nighttime symbolizing the intense longing and emotion that keeps them awake into the wee hours of the morning.
The lines "I cry my heart out, it's bound to break / Since nothing matters, let it break" encapsulate the sense of overwhelming despair that can arise when one's heart is broken. The final stanza is a plea to the universe, asking what will become of this love that burns so intensely despite the distance between the singer and their beloved.
Overall, the song speaks to the universal experience of love and loss, and the deep emotional bonds that can persist even when the physical connection is severed.
Line by Line Meaning
This love of mine goes on and on,
My love for you is endless and persistent, never-ending and infinite.
Though life is empty since you have gone.
My life has become an abyss since your absence, empty and hollow without you.
You're always on my mind, though out of sight,
You remain in my thoughts and my heart, although I cannot physically see or touch you.
It's lonesome through the day,
My days are filled with loneliness and sorrow, without your presence beside me.
But oh! the night.
The night brings painful memories of our love and how it has ended.
I cry my heart out, it's bound to break,
My heart aches with a deep sorrow, and I cry so deeply that it feels like it will break from the pain.
Since nothing matters, let it break.
Because nothing else seems to hold meaning without you, I am almost willing to let my heart break completely.
I ask the sun and the moon,
I search for answers in the sky, pleading with the celestial bodies and natural wonders of the world.
The stars that shine,
Even the stars hold no answers, despite their brilliance and radiance.
What's to become of it,
I wonder what will become of the love that we shared and how it will continue after we are parted.
This love of mine.
The love that I have for you, the one that goes on and on, will remain with me even when you are gone.
