Believe Me
Joy And Dave Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yesterday you came my way,
And when you smiled at me,
In my heart I felt a thrill you see,
That it was love at sight and
I was right to love you as I do.
Still I never dreamed that you could love me too.

Your eyes of blue, your kisses too,
I never knew what they could do.
I can't believe that you're in love with me.

You're telling ev'ry one I know
I'm on your mind each place we go
They can't believe that you're in love with me.

I have always placed you far above me.
I just can't imagine that you love me.
And after all is said and done,
To think that I'm the lucky one.
I can't believe that you're in love with me.

Skies are gray. I'm blue each day
When you are not around.
Ev'ry thing goes wrong, my dear I've found
But when you're by my side I fill with pride
For I'm so proud of you
It all seems too good to me to all be true

Your eyes of blue, your kisses too,
I never knew what they could do.
I can't believe that you're in love with me.

You're telling ev'ry one I know
I'm on your mind each place we go
They can't believe that you're in love with me.

I have always placed you far above me.
I just can't imagine that you love me.
And after all is said and done,




To think that I'm the lucky one.
I can't believe that you're in love with me.

Line by Line Meaning

Yesterday you came my way,
You appeared in my vicinity yesterday,


And when you smiled at me,
Your smiling at me caused me to feel a sense of warmth,


In my heart I felt a thrill you see,
I experienced a rush of adrenaline in my heart,


That it was love at sight and
I believe my admiration for you started when I first saw you,


I was right to love you as I do.
My affection for you is justified and accurate.


Still I never dreamed that you could love me too.
I never imagined that you shared the same feelings towards me.


Your eyes of blue, your kisses too,
Your blue eyes and embraces possess a wondrous quality,


I never knew what they could do.
I was unaware of the power your eyes and kisses held over me,


You're telling ev'ry one I know
You've communicated to everyone in my social circle


I'm on your mind each place we go
That I am in your thoughts everywhere we travel


They can't believe that you're in love with me.
Those who hear of your love for me are doubtful due to disbelief


I have always placed you far above me.
I have always deemed you superior to myself,


I just can't imagine that you love me.
It's hard for me to fathom that you possess feelings of love for me,


And after all is said and done,
Despite everything that has occurred,


To think that I'm the lucky one.
I'm fortunate to be the recipient of your love and affection


Skies are gray. I'm blue each day
The environment appears bleak and brings me sadness every day,


When you are not around.
I only feel this way when you're not near me,


Ev'ry thing goes wrong, my dear I've found
Every action or event that occurs appears to go in the opposite direction,


But when you're by my side I fill with pride
When I'm in your company, I feel the utmost pride,


For I'm so proud of you
I take pleasure in my pride, for it is for you,


It all seems too good to me to all be true
The situation appears too improbable to be valid,
