The Song Is You
Michele Ramo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A beautiful theme of every
Dream I ever knew.
Down deep in my heart I hear it play.
I feel it start, then melt away.
I hear music when I touch your hand,
A beautiful melody
Down deep in my heart, I hear it say,
Is this the day?
I alone have heard this lovely strain,
I alone have heard this glad refrain,
Must it be forever inside of me,
Why can't I let it go,
Why can't I let you know,
Why can't I let you know the song
My heart would sing?
That beautiful rhapsody
Of love and youth and spring,
The music is sweet,
The words are true
The song is you.
The Song Is You is a romantic ballad by Michele Ramo that expresses the feeling of being completely entranced by another person. The singer talks about how being around their loved one makes them hear music and a beautiful melody that is like a theme to every dream they ever had. The song speaks about how this melody is heard deep inside the singer's heart and how it both starts and melts away. The melody and music is also felt when the singer touches their partner's hand and they feel it is from some enchanted land. The theme of love and longing continues with the singer talking about how they alone have heard this lovely melody and how it is forever inside them. They end the song questioning why they can't let their loved one know the song their heart would sing.
The lyrics in The Song Is You capture the often-inexplicable feeling of being in love quite well. The way the singer talks about the melody playing deep inside their heart, hearing it when they look at or touch their partner is a metaphor for the overwhelming feeling of being in love. The lines, "I alone have heard this lovely strain,
I alone have heard this glad refrain," add to the feeling of exclusivity that comes with being in love. However, the singer's reluctance to express their feelings to their partner is a common theme that many people can relate to. It's a question of vulnerability and the fear of being rejected. The Song Is You captures the feelings that many feel when they are too scared to make the first move and take a chance.
