The One I Love Belongs To Somebody Else
Frank Sinatra Jr. & Steve Tyrell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And all my daydreams have gone astray
I think about the one and only
Who's bound to find me some golden day
The one I love is coming along some day
And I'll have none except the one I love
He/She may be near or ever so far away
And though our meeting is left to chance
Until our meeting
I still will have my dream romance
And through the night I pray to the moon above
To please be kind and find the one I love
The lyrics to Frank Sinatra & Tommy Dorsey's "One I Love" convey a sense of longing for a special someone who has not yet been found. The singer is experiencing an extended period of loneliness where daydreams have led to nothing. But, they remain hopeful that one day the person they are meant to be with will come along and rescue them from their solitude. The lyrics express a deep longing for companionship, dreaming of the day when their fate will lead them to the person they are destined to be with. This sense of hope and desire runs throughout the song, culminating in a prayer to the moon above to "please be kind and find the one I love."
The lyrics of "One I Love" are a wonderful example of how music can convey powerful emotions and connect with an audience in profound ways. Through the words, the song captures the experience of feeling disconnected and alone while maintaining a sense of hope for a brighter future. Thus, making it an excellent representation of the romantic ballads during the 1940s.

What a wonderful video. So glad I found it . Amazing collaboration. I am just so saddened by Frank Jr's Death. I just feel he never got the credit he deserved and was so amazing a person yet so underrated . May God grant him Peace.
