Love You
Mezz Mezzrow and His Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Would I love you
If I thought that you'd love me too
Does a birdie fly
Ooh-ooh-ooh-aah

Would I want you
If I thought thay you'd want me too
Does a baby cry
Yeah-yeah-yeah

(Would I love you)
Each and every day
(Would I love you)
Darling, come what may
(Would I love you)
Ooh-ooh, I would and I do
With a love that is true

Oh, would I kiss you
If I thought that you'd come on and kiss me too
Does a river flow
'N just in case you'd like to know
Would I hold you
And never let you go for my whole life through
Does a fire glow

Oh, my Darlin', Darlin', Darlin'
(Would I love you)
Oh, you don't have to doubt it
(Would I love you)
There's no question about it
(Would I love you)
Darlin', Darlin', Darlin', I would and I do
With a love that is true

Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
(Would I love you)
As long as I'm here, I will
(Would I love you)
For everything that I'm worth
(would I love you)
Just like a flower loves the rain




(Would I love you)
I try to never

Line by Line Meaning

Yesterday you came my way,
This is when I first laid eyes on you, my love.


And when you smiled at me,
Your smile ignited a feeling within me that I can't quite explain.


In my heart I felt a thrill you see,
I felt a sensation deep within me that I've never felt before.


That it was love at sight and
I knew that I loved you from the first moment I saw you.


I was right to love you as I do.
It was not a mistake to fall in love with you.


Still I never dreamed that you could love me too.
It was beyond my wildest dreams to think that you could love me in return.


Your eyes of blue, your kisses too,
Your blue eyes and your kisses have been an enchantment that I can't resist.


I never knew what they could do.
I never knew that they could make me feel such intense emotions.


You're telling ev'ry one I know
You have been proclaiming your love for me to everyone we know.


I'm on your mind each place we go
You think of me wherever we may be.


They can't believe that you're in love with me.
Everyone around us is stunned that you love me so deeply.


I have always placed you far above me.
I have always felt that you are too good for me.


I just can't imagine that you love me.
It's hard to believe that you could feel anything but kindness towards me.


And after all is said and done,
Despite everything that has happened between us,


To think that I'm the lucky one.
I feel incredibly fortunate to be with you.


Skies are gray. I'm blue each day
When you're not by my side, I feel downhearted and despondent.


When you are not around.
When you're not with me,


Ev'ry thing goes wrong, my dear I've found
Everything seems to go awry without you there to support me.


But when you're by my side I fill with pride
When you're with me, I feel proud to be in love with you.


For I'm so proud of you
I'm proud of all that you are and all that you do.


It all seems too good to me to all be true
Sometimes it feels like our love is too perfect to be real.
