The One I Love Belongs To Somebody Else
Steve Tyrell/Frank Sinatra Jr 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 lyrics of Steve Tyrell/Frank Sinatra Jr's song The One I Love Belongs To Somebody Else speaks of a sentiment of loneliness and yearning for true love. It describes the feeling of being alone with no one to share the nights with, and how the everyday world can be a dreary place without that special someone. The song illustrates a longing for the "one and only" true love that seems elusive, yet ever present in the mind of the singer. It captures the hope and promise that one day the singer will finally meet the person meant for them, despite the fact that there are no guarantees in life. The lyrics are meaningful and relatable for anyone who has experienced the longing for love while being alone, and the desire for a happy ending to the often turbulent journey of life.
Line by Line Meaning
When days are long and nights are lonely
During times when my days seem never ending and my nights are filled with solitude
And all my daydreams have gone astray
When my hopes and aspirations have been set aside and unfulfilled
I think about the one and only
I reminisce of the sole person who holds a prominent place in my thoughts and emotions
Who's bound to find me some golden day
Someone who I believe will bring me a brighter future and destined to cross my path one day
The one I love is coming along some day
Inevitably, the person whom I cherish will arrive in my life someday soon
And I'll have none except the one I love
I'll accept no substitutes nor will I be interested in anyone else, only the one I hold dear
He/She may be near or ever so far away
The one I love could be within my reach or at a far distance that may take a while to cover
But I'll have none except the one I love
I'd rather have no one than to settle for someone else other than the one I hold in my heart
And though our meeting is left to chance
Although the time and place of our encounter is unpredictable and uncertain
Until our meeting
Until the moment we meet for the first time
I still will have my dream romance
I'll still hold onto my idealistic expectation of a romantic and loving relationship
And through the night I pray to the moon above
In the quiet of the night, I beseech the moon to help me find the one I love
To please be kind and find the one I love
To be merciful and guide me to the one who holds the key to my heart

What a wonderful video. So glad I found it . Amazing collaboration. I am just so saddened by Frank Jr's Death. I just feel he never got the credit he deserved and was so amazing a person yet so underrated . May God grant him Peace.
