Little Jack Little Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Simply because you're near me.
Funny, but when you're near me
I'm in the mood for love.
Heaven is in your eyes
Bright as the stars we're under
Oh! Is it any wonder
Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade?
We've put our hearts together
Now we are one, I'm not afraid!
If there's a cloud above
If it should rain we'll let it
But for tonight, forget it!
I'm in the mood for love

My mother's favorite song. What a great dance my parents must of had. They were dating in the 30's and danced these songs. Wish they were still alive, mother would be 107 and father 150. Married a young girl.

Jack's conversational approach is quite a contrast to some of the more dramatic treatments we hear of this number that, for its day, laid things out quite clearly. Perhaps he felt that his piano provided enough drama. In any case, the arrangement is attractive. These ears always welcome Jack's soothing tones.

Although I'm only 55 I always get a kick, out of 1930s and 1940s music.
