Jimmy Van Heusen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And your lips are so heavenly
Stars in the sky are all free
And they shine for me
So does the moon in the blue
All this is mine and heaven too
You give me your arms
And your arms are like angel wings,
Each rosebud kissed by the dew,
All this is mine and heaven too.
I own each summer day
Each mountain capped with snow
The sentimental tree, the dreamy streams that flow,
Ev'ry country lane and ev'ry street of stone
Are highways of adventure made for me alone.
You give me your love
And your love is a melody,
Deep in my heart I will carry the song with me
You bring a love so divine
All this is mine and heaven too

You give me your lips
You share your kisses with me
And your lips are so heavenly
Your kisses are divine and wonderful
Stars in the sky are all free
The stars shine for all to see without cost
And they shine for me
But they also seem to shine just for me
So does the moon in the blue
The moon is also beautiful and accessible to all
All this is mine and heaven too
But having your love also feels like I have everything, even heaven itself
You give me your arms
You hold me close and embrace me
And your arms are like angel wings,
It feels as if I am being hugged by an angel
Sweet to my ear is the song ev'ry bluebird sings
The sound of bluebirds singing brings me joy
Each rosebud kissed by the dew,
The morning dew on a rose is a beautiful sight
All this is mine and heaven too.
All of these little things feel like treasures to me
I own each summer day
I feel as though I possess the beauty of every summer day
Each mountain capped with snow
Even the snow-capped mountains feel like they are mine
The sentimental tree, the dreamy streams that flow,
I see beauty in everything, from trees to streams
Ev'ry country lane and ev'ry street of stone
Every winding country road and every paved city street are mine to explore
Are highways of adventure made for me alone.
I feel like these roads are leading me towards my own personal adventure
You give me your love
You share your love with me
And your love is a melody,
Your love feels like a beautiful and harmonious song
Deep in my heart I will carry the song with me
I will keep your love close to my heart even when we are apart
You bring a love so divine
Your love feels sacred and special
All this is mine and heaven too
And having that love feels like I have everything, even heaven itself
