I Love Paris
Snyder Terry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Simply because you're near me.
Funny, but when you're near me
I'm in the mood for love.
Heaven is in your eyes
Bright as the stars we're under
Oh! Is it any wonder
Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade?
We've put our hearts together
Now we are one, I'm not afraid!
If there's a cloud above
If it should rain we'll let it
But for tonight, forget it!
I'm in the mood for love
The song "I'm in the Mood for Love" is a classic romantic tune that speaks to the way that being in love can completely change our outlook on life. The opening lines of the song suggest that the singer is feeling particularly romantic simply because the person they love is near them. The singer seems to be surprised by how powerful this feeling is and how it seems to take over their entire being. This speaks to the idea that love is a powerful force that can completely transform us, and that the presence of the person we love can have a profound impact on our emotional state.
The second verse of the song speaks directly to the way that the person the singer loves makes them feel. The singer describes the other person's eyes as "heaven" and compares them to bright stars. This again speaks to the idea that being in love can make us see the world in a completely different way. When we are with someone we truly love, even the most mundane things can seem magical and otherworldly. The singer also notes that they are not worried about the future of the relationship. They have "put their hearts together" and now feel like they are one person. This suggests a deep level of trust and intimacy between the two people.
The chorus of the song is both simple and powerful. The singer makes it clear that they are simply in the mood for love and that nothing can stand in their way. Even if there are clouds in the sky or rain in the forecast, they are not going to let anything spoil the moment. This speaks to the idea that when we are in love, everything else can fade into the background. The only thing that truly matters is the person we love and the time we spend together.

I'm in the mood for love

I feel this way because you're close by
Funny, but when you're near me

I remember this music from childhood. I also remember my favorite part was the swingin' bass and guitar solo at 1:25 -- and it still is! Maybe swingin' jazz blues is in our genetic coding. I also remember how harsh the tempo and instrument changes felt at 1:56, almost painful. His percussion is always tasteful.

Maravillosa la música interpretada por la orquesta de Terry, dado que suenan uno a uno los instrumentos y en algún momento los reune temporalmente. Gracias gebjgbtl571 por compartir. Saludos desde Neiva Colombia
