Lucky In Love
George Olsen & His Music 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

💜 Lisa Loves Summer Time 🌞

Love this music so much and the trio is great. 💖🎶🎺💚🤩🎵💞

Trombonology Erstwhile

The Good News score is one of my all-time favorites -- every number is a gem, with this one being second only to the beautiful "Just Imagine" with me. I love the piano behind the vocals -- I must say Fran's voice is much easier to take as part of a trio. The hot chorus that follows captures the atmosphere of the Jazz Age.

David Hess

This gave me even more reasons to be grateful for the big band era.

Jourwalis

1927 is not the "Big Band Era" !

David Hess

@Jourwalis Exactly!

George Dabrowski

Nice record. Well made.☺ Agree on both songs with T.E. The way they fit the 'Vo-do---de-do-de-oh' rhythm in is so very of the period.

Frank Olen

One of my favorite songs

tommy nevils
