Do You Ever Think Of Me?
Russ Morgan and His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I gave my heart in to your keeping
It brought the harvest I am reaping
And I always wonder now
When summer twilight's gently falling
I'd love to know if you're recalling
Your tender words to me enthralling
When you have another's arms about you,
Do you ever think of me
When you whisper "I can't live without you,"
Do you ever think of me
And when your eyes disguise the same old loving lies,
You tell so tenderly
Deep in your heart unfeeling
When some heart you're stealing
Do you ever think of me.
These lyrics from Russ Morgan and His Orchestra's song "Do You Ever Think Of Me?" delve deep into the complex emotions and thoughts tied to love and heartbreak. The singer reflects on a past love that once filled their dreams with hope and happiness, surrendering their heart to another person and reaping the emotional rewards of that vulnerability. However, despite the passage of time, there remains a lingering sense of curiosity and longing, as the singer wonders if their former partner still remembers those tender moments shared under the summer twilight.
The nostalgic tone is further emphasized as the lyrics question whether the ex-lover ever thinks back to the intimate exchanges and heartfelt declarations that once bound them together. The wistful imagery of summer twilight symbolizes a sense of fleeting beauty and transient romance, underscoring the fragility of love and memory. The singer's heart is portrayed as still yearning for confirmation or acknowledgment from the distant object of their affection, hinting at unresolved feelings and a lingering attachment that refuses to fade away.
The lyrics take a poignant turn as they contemplate the possibility of the former partner moving on and finding solace in the arms of another. The singer grapples with the painful realization that they may have been replaced in the ex-lover's affections, yet the question posed - "Do you ever think of me?" - reveals a deeper layer of emotional vulnerability and a desperate hope for a connection that transcends physical distance. The mention of "loving lies" and stolen hearts hints at a betrayal or unfaithfulness that adds a bitter edge to the bittersweet nostalgia embedded in the song.
In the final poignant stanza, the lyrics capture the essence of unrequited love and the enduring imprint that a past relationship can leave on the human heart. The plea for recognition and remembrance, even in the face of betrayal and emotional detachment, speaks to the universal experience of longing for closure and understanding. The poignant question posed in the refrain - "Do you ever think of me?" - encapsulates the universal yearning for connection, closure, and emotional resolution that echoes through the ages in the realm of love and heartbreak.

When love in to my dreams was creeping
When thoughts of love started entering my dreams
I gave my heart in to your keeping
I entrusted my heart to you
It brought the harvest I am reaping
It resulted in the positive outcomes I am experiencing now
And I always wonder now
And I constantly ponder about it now
When summer twilight's gently falling
When the soft twilight of summer is descending
I'd love to know if you're recalling
I would like to know if you are remembering
Your tender words to me enthralling
Your affectionate words that captivated me
And my heart is wond'ring still
And my heart is still filled with uncertainty
When you have another's arms about you,
When you are in the embrace of someone else,
Do you ever think of me
Do thoughts of me ever cross your mind
When you whisper "I can't live without you,"
When you quietly say "I cannot live without you,"
Do you ever think of me
Do I ever come to your thoughts
And when your eyes disguise the same old loving lies,
And when your eyes hide the familiar deceitful affection,
You tell so tenderly
That you express so gently
Deep in your heart unfeeling
Despite your coldness in the depths of your heart
When some heart you're stealing
When you are stealing someone else's heart
Do you ever think of me.
Do thoughts of me ever cross your mind.
