The Gaylords Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, my wonderful one
How I adore you
Through the day and the night
I'm longing for you
Won't you tell me you care
Oh, I implore you
While the stars above shine
Oh, a new world I'll find
If you'll tell me you're mine

Oh, how I wanted to tell you my dear
Just what I feel in my heart

Per un bacio d'amor
O bella bruna
Ti darò tutto il cuor
Al chiaro di luna
Un tuo bacio d'amore
O che fortuna
Voglio dirti ancora
Ti darò tutto il cuor
Per un bacio d'amore

Oh, my wonderful one
How I adore you
Through the day and the night
I'm longing for you
Won't you tell me you care
Oh, I implore you
While the stars above shine
Oh, a new world I'll find
If you'll tell me you're mine





If you'll tell me you're mine

Overall Meaning

The Gaylords' "Tell Me You're Mine" is a love song about a man who is deeply in love with his significant other. The first verse begins with the singer expressing their deep affection and longing for the person they love. They implore this person to let them know that they care and love them too. The second verse continues with the singer revealing that they have been wanting to express their true feelings to this person but have been hesitant to do so. The bridge is sung in Italian but still gives the same sentiment of professing love and giving one's heart completely, all under the moonlight. The chorus, which is repeated twice, emphasizes the need for the person they love to tell them that they belong to each other.


Overall, the song is a romantic plea for love and acceptance. It expresses the need for communication and reassurance in a relationship. It also shows the depth of emotions and the belief that true love can lead to a "new world" of happiness and fulfillment.

Never tire of the lead singer's voice _ Ronnie Gaylord . _ he had the finest voice of all the lead singer's during that time. He even topped many of the solo crooner's of that time.

I Bought This record for 10 cents not knowing what it was thinking it could be a old doo wop record I played it and put in my collection Over the years I would Play It once in a while. Sometimes I would weed out songs That I didn't want but this one staid I would Play It Once In A while I began to like more every time that I hear It. I got This Record In 1965.I'll Never weed it out of my collection. Great Song.
