The Song Is You
Freddy Martin's Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A beautiful theme of every
Dream I ever knew.
Down deep in my heart I hear it play.
I feel it start, then melt away.
I hear music when I touch your hand,
A beautiful melody
Down deep in my heart, I hear it say,
Is this the day?
I alone have heard this lovely strain,
I alone have heard this glad refrain,
Must it be forever inside of me,
Why can't I let it go,
Why can't I let you know,
Why can't I let you know the song
My heart would sing?
That beautiful rhapsody
Of love and youth and spring,
The music is sweet,
The words are true
The song is you.
In "The Song Is You" by Freddy Martin's Orchestra, the singer describes the overwhelming feeling of joy and love that they experience when they see or touch their beloved. The music that they hear is like a beautiful theme that encompasses all of their dreams and aspirations. This melody is so powerful that it seems to emanate from within, playing deep in their heart and washing over them with an overwhelming sense of beauty and wonder. It's a song that seems to have been meant for them alone, a one-of-a-kind tune that encapsulates everything they feel for the person they love.
The singer is also defined by a sense of loneliness, as they feel that only they alone can hear this music. This melody seems to bring the singer comfort, yet also pain, as they are unable to share this song with the person they care for. The singer's internal struggle is whether to keep this beautiful song inside or to finally share it with the person they love. The song is a beautiful rhapsody of love, youth, and spring. The music is so sweet, and the lyrics are so true. The song is the person they love, and the intense feelings of emotion that they associate with them.

A magnificent set! Elmer has the perfect voice for the gentle and beautiful "A Melody From The Sky," a song I love -- my favorite here. "It Happened In Chicago" is cute, too!
