The One I Love Belongs To Somebody Else
Sheena Easton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And all my daydreams have gone astray
I think about the one and only
Who's bound to find me some golden day
The one I love is coming along some day
And I'll have none except the one I love
He/She may be near or ever so far away
And though our meeting is left to chance
Until our meeting
I still will have my dream romance
And through the night I pray to the moon above
To please be kind and find the one I love
The song "The One I Love Belongs To Somebody Else" by Sheena Easton is a melancholic tale of unrequited love. The lyrics speak of the loneliness and daydreaming that the singer experiences when thinking of the one they love, who is unfortunately already spoken for. The song conveys a sense of desolation and longing, as the singer waits for the chance to meet their soulmate and fulfill their dream of being together.
The opening lines of the song set the mood by painting a picture of a desolate landscape where hope seems to be scarce. The singer's daydreams are mentioned, but they have gone astray, indicating that they have not come true. This creates a sense of despair that is heightened by the singer's acknowledgment that the one they love is already with someone else. The line "Who's bound to find me some golden day" introduces a glimmer of hope, suggesting that the singer's sacred love will one day come to fruition.
The chorus of the song conveys the singer's unwavering faith and commitment to the one they love. The repetition of the word "none" emphasizes the fact that the singer will not settle for anyone else. The uncertainty of whether their true love is near or far only adds to the poignancy of the lyrics. In the bridge, the singer speaks of their dream romance, which is yet to be fulfilled. However, they are determined to hold onto their love and keep the flame alive until they meet the one they love. The final line of the song, "To please be kind and find the one I love," is a plea to fate to bring their soulmate to them.

You can think of me and I'll be with you in your mind anytime.
I am always with you in your dreams and imagination, and that's how you can keep me forever.
This moment we have shared is so precious that you can cherish it even for your entire lifetime to come.
You don't have to worry about losing me, I will always be close to you.
This bond we share is so special and valuable that it's worth holding onto forever as a dream come true.
If you ever feel lost, think of me as a guiding star that will always show you the way.
You can always reach out to me and connect with me, no matter where you are in the world.
Many precious things in this world come and go too quickly, but our bond is one that will last a lifetime.
If you always remember me as your guiding star, you will never lose sight of our special bond.
Our relationship is so special that it's worth holding onto as a lifelong dream come true.
This is not just a passing moment, but a bond that will last for much longer than just one day.
Despite any changes that life may bring, our bond is strong enough to withstand them.
No matter what, our relationship is always worth holding onto and treasuring.
It's up to us to keep our bond strong and not let it fade away over time.
Even if we are far apart physically, our bond will never be broken.
If you ever feel lonely, remember that I am always with you in spirit.
Whenever you see a rainbow, remember that it's a symbol of hope and a reminder of our special bond.
Even in the midst of sadness or difficulty, remember that there is beauty and hope in the world.
No matter what challenges we face, we will always find a way back to each other.
There may be times when you feel discouraged or disheartened.
You may feel like life has gone too quickly and you haven't achieved what you wanted to.
Your mood may be low and you may be struggling to find hope or joy.
You may feel like you are running out of hope or optimism.
Despite any challenges or setbacks, our relationship is still valuable and worth holding onto.
As long as we continue to nurture our bond, it will stay strong and meaningful.
Even in times of darkness or despair, our bond will never disappear.
We must always work to keep our relationship strong and know that the dream will never fade away.

on A Dream Worth Keeping
Anytime you want to be right here
Just imagine me and all this will appear
You can keep this moment all your life
Forever near
A dream worth keeping
When your feeling lost I'll be your star
Just reach out and touch me no matter where you are
In a world where precious things are disappearing over night
Just keep my star in sight
[Chorus]
I believe we found a dream that's worth keeping
For more than just a day
And even though the winds of change may come sweeping
It's still a dream worth keeping
So don't let it fade away
Maybe you'll be in some distant land
Feelin' all alone, but I'll be close at hand
And every time you see a rainbow
Paint the sky behind the rain
You'll be here again
[Chorus]
I believe we found a dream that's worth keeping
For more than just a day
And even though the winds of change may come sweeping
It's still a dream worth keeping
[Chorus]
Some day you might be thinking
Life has passed you by
Spirits might be sinking
Hope in short supply
And that's the reason why
That's the reason why
I know this dream's worth keeping
As long as it will stay
Even when you see the darkness come creepin'
A dream worth keeping
Will never fade away
