You're In My Heart
Rod Stewart Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I didn't know what day it was
When you walked into the room
I said hello unnoticed
You said goodbye too soon

Breezing through the clientele
Spinning yarns that were so lyrical
I really must confess right here
The attraction was purely physical

I took all those habits of yours
That in the beginning were hard to accept
Your fashion sense, Beardsly prints
I put down to experience

The big bosomed lady with the Dutch accent
Who tried to change my point of view
Her ad lib lines were well rehearsed
But my heart cried out for you

You're in my heart, you're in my soul
You'll be my breath should I grow old
You are my lover, you're my best friend
You're in my soul

My love for you is immeasurable
My respect for you immense
You're ageless, timeless, lace and fineness
You're beauty and elegance

You're a rhapsody, a comedy
You're a symphony and a play
You're every love song ever written
But honey what do you see in me

You're in my heart, you're in my soul
You'll be my breath should I grow old
You are my lover, you're my best friend
You're in my soul

You're an essay in glamor
Please pardon the grammar
But you're every schoolboy's dream
You're Celtic, United, but baby I've decided
You're the best team I've ever seen

And there have been many affairs
Many times I've thought to leave
But I bite my lip and turn around
'Cause you're the warmest thing I've ever found

You're in my heart, you're in my soul
You'll be my breath should I grow old




You are my lover, you're my best friend
You're in my soul

Line by Line Meaning

I didn't know what day it was
I was completely oblivious until you came into my life


When you walked into the room
When you made your presence known


I said hello unnoticed
I barely acknowledged you


You said goodbye too soon
You left before I could really get to know you


Breezing through the clientele
You were effortlessly moving through the people in the room


Spinning yarns that were so lyrical
You were telling captivating stories


I really must confess right here
I need to admit something to you


The attraction was purely physical
I was drawn to you solely based on your appearance


I took all those habits of yours
I was initially hesitant about your quirks


That in the beginning were hard to accept
I wasn't sure how to handle them at first


Your fashion sense, Beardsly prints
Your unique clothing style


I put down to experience
I learned to appreciate them over time


The big bosomed lady with the Dutch accent
Another woman tried to compete for my attention


Who tried to change my point of view
She attempted to alter my thoughts and feelings


Her ad lib lines were well rehearsed
Her improvised lines were clearly pre-planned


But my heart cried out for you
Despite her efforts, I was devoted to you


You're in my heart, you're in my soul
You are deeply embedded in my being


You'll be my breath should I grow old
I need you to continue living


You are my lover, you're my best friend
You are my romantic partner and my confidant


You're an essay in glamor
Your appearance is worthy of scholarly discussion


Please pardon the grammar
Excuse my lack of proper language


But you're every schoolboy's dream
You embody what every young man desires


You're Celtic, United, but baby I've decided
You are two different entities, but I have chosen you


You're the best team I've ever seen
You are the greatest partner I've ever had


And there have been many affairs
I have had other relationships


Many times I've thought to leave
I have considered breaking up with you


But I bite my lip and turn around
I am able to control my impulses and stay with you


'Cause you're the warmest thing I've ever found
You are the most loving and caring person I have ever met

My husband and I saw this so talented man with a sense of humor at Coliseum in Greensboro North Carolina. I'm a Carolina girl. It was a once in a life time experience.

Unfortunately i wasn't lucky like you Sir, my mother was very abusive toward me. But reading your comment makes me feel very good, knowing that there are great moms in this world also. God bless you, and your mom in heaven.
