Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Because of you there's a song in my heart
Because of you my romance had its start
Because of you the sun will shine
The moon and stars will say you're mine
Forever and never to part

I only live for your love and your kiss
It's paradise to be near you like this
Because of you my life is now worth while
And I can smile
Because of you

I only live for your love and your kiss
It's paradise to be near you like this
Because of you my life is now worth while




And I can smile
Because of you

@jamescity1160

This song is just Devine! One of my all-time favorites. Thanks for the upload!

@RationalDischarge

What ever happened to music like this? That lush orchestration, those melding choral voices, and the soaring strings...it's all just too perfect!

@CatsPjamas1

Since my favorite music is mostly from the '50's and '60's, I often wonder what it would have been like to live back then. Seems like it was such a romantic time, I certainly haven't found much of that today. I was born in 1978.

Sure, it was pretty nice if you were nestled in affluent white cishetero normie privilege :) but heaven help you if you were weird or poor or anything else.

@noorclean2915

Only pretty if you were white anglo and male … if you are person of color or jewish or italian, you might face discrimination anf racism

@user-tr3be9yh7k

Get a grip guys. Can't you look past the negativity all the time? Just enjoy some REAL music!

Dear person, to live in that era was so full of romance and beauty, I lived in another country, and this kind of music was in fashion all over the world. The walks on the beach at sunset, driving along the coastline and listening in the radio this kind of music was awsome, inspiring leaving you with a sweet taste for life itself.

@EBrindley77

Does anybody know the names of the singers in the Les Baxter Chorus? It’s driving me crazy that I don’t know their names. Those Les Baxter singers are a national treasure and nobody knows their names.

@windstorm1000

I agree--we need more beautiful music in these frenetic times--NOT more frenetic music. I see less happy now even with all these electronic gadgets--Mom and Dad and grandpa were way calmer, feet to the earth!! Must partically because of music they listened to!!
