Lucky In Love
Good News/Mel Torme Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If there's a gleam in her eye
Each time she straightens your tie
You'll know the lady's in love with you
If she can dress for a date
Without that waitin' you hate
You know the lady's in love with you
And when your friends ask you over to join their table
But she begs a far-away booth for two
Well, sir, here's just how it stands
You've got romance on your hands
Because the lady's in love with you

If there's a gleam in her eye
Each time she straightens your tie
You'll know the lady, the lady is in love with you
If she can dress for a date
Without that waitin' you hate
You know the lady's in love with you
And when your friends ask you over to join their table
But she begs a far-away booth for two
Well, sir, here's just how it stands
You've got romance on your hands
Because the lady is in love with
The lady is in love with
The lady is in love with you
The lady is in love with




Lady is in love with
Lady is in love with you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Mel Torme's song "Lucky In Love" speak about the signs that indicate when a woman is in love with a man. The first indication mentioned is a "gleam in her eye" when she straightens the man's tie. The tie is a symbol of the man's professional self, and the woman's attention to it shows that she cares about his success and wants him to look his best. The next indication is when the woman dresses up for a date without the man having to ask or wait for her. This shows that she is excited about spending time with him and wants to look her best for him.


The song also mentions a scenario where the man's friends invite him to join their table, but the woman asks for a faraway booth for two. This shows that she wants to have a more private and intimate setting for their date, and is not interested in socializing with others. The chorus reinforces the idea that the woman is in love with the man and he is lucky to have her affection.


Overall, the song highlights the joy and excitement of being in a new relationship and how the woman's actions can signal her feelings towards the man.

Love Mel Tormé's bit. Such a satin voice.

GOOD NEWS is such an underrated musical. One of the first major shows I ever did in Middle School. Score is so great. Lot of standards. Overdue for a Broadway revival!!
