Like Someone in Love
Jimmy Rowles & Ray Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hearing guitars like someone in love.
Sometimes the things I do astound me,
Mostly whenever you're around me.
Lately I seem to walk as though I had wings,
Bump into things like someone in love.
Each time I look at you,
I'm limp as a glove,
The lyrics to Jimmy Rowles and Ray Brown's "Like Someone in Love" paint a vivid picture of a person deeply in love who is experiencing all the wonderful sensations that come with being in love. The imagery they use, such as gazing up at the stars and hearing guitars, and walking as though they had wings, is a powerful way of communicating the transformative power of love. The singer is so taken with their lover that they are often astounded by the things they do when they're around them. They become clumsy and distracted, bumping into things and losing their focus.
But the most telling lines come at the end of the second stanza: "Each time I look at you, I'm limp as a glove, and feeling like someone in love." This encapsulates the essence of the song - the feeling of being completely powerless in the face of love. The singer is so in love with their partner that they are unable to resist their charms. Even the simplest of actions, like looking at them, leaves them feeling weak and helpless.
"Like Someone in Love" is a beautiful tribute to the power of love and the way it can change us. From the soaring melody to the evocative lyrics, it is a timeless classic that continues to resonate with listeners today.
