You Can't Hurry Love
Gerard René & Gordon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And when you smiled at me,
In my heart I felt a thrill you see,
That it was love at sight and
I was right to love you as I do.
Still I never dreamed that you could love me too.
Your eyes of blue, your kisses too,
I can't believe that you're in love with me.
You're telling ev'ry one I know
I'm on your mind each place we go
They can't believe that you're in love with me.
I have always placed you far above me.
I just can't imagine that you love me.
And after all is said and done,
To think that I'm the lucky one.
I can't believe that you're in love with me.
Skies are gray. I'm blue each day
When you are not around.
Ev'ry thing goes wrong, my dear I've found
But when you're by my side I fill with pride
For I'm so proud of you
It all seems too good to me to all be true
Your eyes of blue, your kisses too,
I never knew what they could do.
I can't believe that you're in love with me.
You're telling ev'ry one I know
I'm on your mind each place we go
They can't believe that you're in love with me.
I have always placed you far above me.
I just can't imagine that you love me.
And after all is said and done,
To think that I'm the lucky one.
I can't believe that you're in love with me.

Yesterday you came my way,
In the past, you entered my life
And when you smiled at me,
When you showed happiness towards me
In my heart I felt a thrill you see,
I experienced an exciting sensation in my heart
That it was love at sight and
I immediately knew it was love
I was right to love you as I do.
My love for you is justified
Still I never dreamed that you could love me too.
I never imagined that you could also love me
Your eyes of blue, your kisses too,
The color of your eyes and the way you kiss
I never knew what they could do.
I had no idea of the impact they could have
I can't believe that you're in love with me.
I find it hard to accept that you love me
You're telling ev'ry one I know
You're informing everyone I am acquainted with
I'm on your mind each place we go
You think of me wherever we go
They can't believe that you're in love with me.
They find it hard to believe that you love me
I have always placed you far above me.
I have always considered you to be superior to me
I just can't imagine that you love me.
I cannot fathom that you have feelings for me
And after all is said and done,
Once everything is considered
To think that I'm the lucky one.
To believe that I am the fortunate individual
Skies are gray. I'm blue each day
The skies are dull and I feel sad every day
When you are not around.
In your absence
Ev'ry thing goes wrong, my dear I've found
Everything goes awry, my beloved, I've discovered
But when you're by my side I fill with pride
But when you are with me, I feel immense pride
For I'm so proud of you
Because I have great pride in you
It all seems too good to me to all be true
Everything appears too perfect to be real

@@DJKinney I hate to break it to you, man, but if you took the trouble to read Rich's show more section you would see everything about this video explained. This is a re-creation of how the song came to be recorded, done for a later documentary on The Seekers. No actual footage of the original recording exists.
