Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I'm close to you, dear
The stars fill the sky
So in love with you am I
Even without you
My arms fold about you
You know, darling, whySo in love with you am I
In love with the night mysterious
The night when you first were there
In love with my joy delirious
When I knew that you could care
So taunt me, and hurt me
Deceive me, desert me
I'm yours, 'til I die
So in love
So in love
So in love with you, my love, am I
In love with the night mysterious
The night when you first were there
In love with my joy delirious
When I knew that you could care
So taunt me, and hurt me
Deceive me, desert me
I'm yours, 'til I die
So in love (so in love)
So in love (so in love)
So in love with you, my love, am I
The lyrics to Mario Frangoulis's song "So In Love" speak of the intense love that the singer has for his significant other. He expresses that when he is close to his love, the stars seem to fill the sky, and he is filled with such a powerful feeling of love. The second verse speaks of how he loves the night when his significant other first entered his life, and he is so overcome with joy that she could care for him that he is delirious with happiness.
The last verse is particularly interesting as he speaks of how even if his significant other were to taunt, hurt, deceive, or desert him, he would still be hers until he died. This speaks to the deep level of commitment and devotion that he has for her, which is unshakeable. The repetition of "So in love" at the end of the song emphasizes just how overwhelming this feeling is for him, and how it is consuming and all-encompassing.
