Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ev'ry chap should hold a heart that's all his own
Love may come at first sight, they told me
When I saw you, I knew
That I had found my only love
When I found you
So, darling, I know that you know
I choose you, won't lose you
I wish you knew how much I long to hold you in my arms
This time is my time
T'will soon be goodbye time
Then in the star light, hold me tight
With one more little kiss say nighty night
So, darling, I know that you know
That I'll go where you go
I choose you, won't lose you
I wish you knew how much I long to hold you in my arms

The singer then expresses their belief in love at first sight and how they knew immediately upon seeing their loved one that they had found their soulmate.
The chorus reaffirms the singer's commitment to their loved one, stating that they will go wherever they go and choose them as their one and only.

Whoever put these sequences together has wonderful taste. This duet is one of the best sung, ensemble work and choreography ever. Before that Ann sofie von Otter, the greatest singer. Happy Birthday Jane Powell, April 1st.

Jane Powell died the other day at age 92. sorry to hear that, of course. this was her last MGM musical. she never did another one. Oklahoma! and Carousel might have been in her future, but, Shirley Jones came along, with a stronger, less chirpy soprano voice, and R and H were transfixed, and...
