Like Someone In Love
Steve Lawrence Eydie Gorme Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lately, I find myself out gazing at stars,
Hearing guitars like someone in love.
Sometimes the things I do astound me,
Mostly whenever you're around me.
Lately I seem to walk as though I had wings,
Bump into things like someone in love.
Each time I look at you,
I'm limp as a glove,
And feeling like someone in love.

Line by Line Meaning

Lately, I find myself out gazing at stars,
Recently, I have been spending time looking up at the stars,


Hearing guitars like someone in love.
And listening to guitars play romantic melodies, as if I were in love.


Sometimes the things I do astound me,
I am amazed at how differently I behave,


Mostly whenever you're around me.
Especially in your presence.


Lately I seem to walk as though I had wings,
Recently, I have felt light and free as if I were flying,


Bump into things like someone in love.
Which is why I may appear a bit clumsy and absent-minded, like someone falling in love.


Each time I look at you,
Every moment I spend staring at you,


I'm limp as a glove,
I feel completely powerless and defenseless,


And feeling like someone in love.
As if I have fallen head over heels for you.
