I'll String Along With You
Michael Feinstein & George Shearing Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause angels are so few
But until the day that one comes along
I'll string along with you
I looking for an angel
To sing my love song to
And until the day that one comes along
For every little fault that you have
Say I've got three or four
The human little faults you do have
Just make me love you more
You may not be an angel
But still I'm sure you'll do
So until the day that one comes along
I'll string along with you
The song "I'll String Along With You" is a classic love song that expresses the singer's devotion to their beloved. The lyrics suggest that the singer is not looking for perfection in their partner, but rather is willing to overlook their flaws and shortcomings in order to enjoy their company. The opening lines, "You may not be an angel/Cause angels are so few," set the tone for the song, suggesting that the singer's expectations are realistic and pragmatic.
The following lines, "But until the day that one comes along/I'll string along with you," reinforce this idea, suggesting that the singer is committed to their partner and willing to stick with them until someone better comes along. The lyrics also suggest a sense of longing and anticipation, as the singer expresses a desire for an angel to come and sing their love song to. However, in the meantime, they will continue to sing their song to their current partner.
The final verse of the song, "You may not be an angel/But still I'm sure you'll do/So until the day that one comes along/I'll string along with you," reinforces the central idea of the song, that the singer's current partner may not be perfect, but is still loved and valued nonetheless. The lyrics suggest that true love is not about finding the perfect partner, but rather about accepting and loving someone for who they are, flaws and all.
