The Girl I Love
Michael Feinstein Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I can weather the storm
What do I care how much it may storm?
I've got my love to keep me warm
I can't remember a worse December
Just watch those icicles form
What do I care if icicles form?
Off with my overcoat, off with my glove
I need no overcoat, I'm burning with love
My heart's on fire and the flame grows higher
So I will weather the storm
What do I care how much it may storm?
I've got my love to keep me warm
Off with my overcoat, off with my glove
I need no overcoat, I'm burning with love
My heart's on fire, the flame grows higher
So I will weather the storm
What do I care how much it may storm?
I've turned off every heater
My sweetie's arms are sweeter
I've got my love to keep me warm
The opening lines of Michael Feinstein's "I Love a Piano" describe a blustery December day, with snow falling and wind blowing. However, despite the weather outside, the singer of the song isn't bothered, because they have their love to keep them warm. As the song progresses, we learn that this is no passing fancy - the singer is deeply in love, so much so that they are willing to shed their layers and brave the cold outside just to be with their sweetheart. The final lines of the song drive home the point: nothing in the world matters as long as they have their love to keep them warm.

When the mellow moon begins to beam
Every night I dream a little dream
And, of course, my Princess is the theme
The she
For me
Although I realize as well as you
It is seldom that a dream comes true
To me it's clear
That she'll appear
(Chorus)
Some day she'll come along
The girl I love
Her smile will be a song
The girl I love
And when she comes my way
I'll do my best to make her stay
I'll look at her and smile
She'll understand
And in a little while
I'll take her hand
And though it seems absurd
I know we both won't say a word
Maybe I shall meet her Sunday
Maybe Monday, maybe not
Still I'm sure to meet her one day
Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day
For her I'll do and dare
as ne'er before.
Our hopes and fears we'll share
forever more.
And so all else above
I'm waiting for the girl I love
(Instrumental break)
Maybe I shall meet her Sunday
Maybe Monday, maybe not
Still I'm sure to meet her one day
Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day
We'll build a little home
Just meant for two
From which we'll never roam
Who would—would you?
And so all else above
I'm waiting for the girl I love
