Dedicated To You
Sarah Vaughan And Billy Eckstine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And if I should paint a picture too
That showed the loveliness of you,
My art would be,
Like my heart and me,
Dedicated to you.

To you,
Because your love is the beacon that lights up my way.
To you,
Because with you I know a lifetime could be just one heavenly day.

If I should find a twinkling star,
One half as wondrous as you are,
That star would be
Like my heart and me,
Dedicated to you.

To you,
Because your love is the beacon that lights up my way.
To you,
Because with you I know a lifetime could be just one heavenly day.

If I should find a twinkling star,
One half as wondrous as you are,
That star would be




Like my heart and me,
Dedicated to you.

And if I should paint a picture too
If I were to create a painting that captures your beauty,


That showed the loveliness of you,
Which displays the unmatched elegance that you possess,


My art would be,
My artistic creation would be,


Like my heart and me,
A true reflection of my heart and soul,


Dedicated to you.
Completely devoted to you and your essence.


To you,
This dedication is meant for you,


Because your love is the beacon that lights up my way.
Your love illuminates my path and directs me towards my goals,

In your presence, time seems to stand still, and every moment feels like a piece of paradise,

Equivalent to my heart and soul,


Dedicated to you.
Fully committed to you and your unrivaled splendor.
