Mine
Judy Garland Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maybe it was the music
Or the glamorous sky of blue
Maybe it was the mood I was in
Or maybe it was really you, really you

This heart of mine was doing very well
The world was fine as far as i could tell
And then quite suddenly i saw you, and i dreamed of gay amours
At dawn i wake up singing sentimental overtures

This heart of mine is gaily dancing now
I taste the wine of real romancing now




Somehow this crazy world has taken on a wonderful design
As long as life endures, it's yours, this heart of mine

Line by Line Meaning

Maybe it was the music
Perhaps it was the captivating melody


Or the glamorous sky of blue
Or the gorgeous azure color of the sky


Maybe it was the mood I was in
Perhaps it was the emotional state I was experiencing


Or maybe it was really you, really you
Or it could be that it was truly you who enchanted me


This heart of mine was doing very well
My heart was content and trouble-free


The world was fine as far as i could tell
Judging by what I perceived, everything was going well


And then quite suddenly i saw you, and i dreamed of gay amours
But suddenly, after seeing you, my heart was filled with visions of happy romances


At dawn i wake up singing sentimental overtures
Even when dawn breaks, I find myself singing sentimental love songs


This heart of mine is gaily dancing now
Now my heart is joyously dancing


I taste the wine of real romancing now
I have the experience of true romance


Somehow this crazy world has taken on a wonderful design
In some way, this chaotic world now appears wonderfully crafted


As long as life endures, it's yours, this heart of mine
For as long as my life goes on, my heart belongs to you
