IΒ΄m In The Mood For Love
Frank Sinatra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm in the mood for love
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
I'm in the mood for love?

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

Sooo beautiful.. The voice and the music are so beautiful that i start to dream about a beautiful life and a woman that i met in my last school year! Really amazing as always Frank Sinatra sing..Why cannot anybody do music like this nowadays?

J H

They can, it’s just harder to find since it’s not mainstream anymore, but you can definitely find gems like these if you search for them

John Primerano

@J H There are some fine singers out there today, but many are more concerned with finding obscure songs, or "inside" songs than classic standards likes this. Standards ARE done, but it seems like those who do them do the same songs over and over. Many good songs , like this, are overshadowed by multiple versions of the same songs or pretentious versions of unknown-to-the-general poublic tunes.

Barbara Lauro

A lot to learn from this performance, romantic and sincere! Listen carefully the way words swing out of his mouth!!

NOBODY BUT YOU / Jerry Wilson
