This Love Of Mine
Helen Humes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This love of mine goes on and on,
Though life is empty since you have gone.
You're always on my mind, though out of sight,
It's lonesome through the day,
But oh! the night.
I cry my heart out, it's bound to break,
Since nothing matters, let it break.
I ask the sun and the moon,
The stars that shine,




What's to become of it,
This love of mine.

Line by Line Meaning

This love of mine goes on and on,
My love persists forever, without end.


Though life is empty since you have gone.
Since you departed from my life, it has become hollow.


You're always on my mind, though out of sight,
I cannot see you, yet thoughts of you never leave my mind.


It's lonesome through the day,
The sense of loneliness I experience is profound during the day.


But oh! the night.
Yet the night brings no solace.


I cry my heart out, it's bound to break,
My heartache is so overwhelming it will inevitably shatter.


Since nothing matters, let it break.
Given the insignificance of everything else, there is nothing to lose from a broken heart.


I ask the sun and the moon,
I entreat the heavens, both day and night,


The stars that shine,
The stars that glitter above,


What's to become of it,
What is the fate of,


This love of mine.
My unrequited love.
