It's Always You
The Glenn Miller Orchestra;Ray Eberle Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Whenever it's early twilight
I watch till a star breaks through
Funny, it's not a star I see
It's always you

Whenever I roam through roses
And lately I often do
Funny, it's not a rose I touch

It's always you

If a breeze, caresses me
It's really you strolling by
If I hear a melody
It's merely the way you sigh

Wherever you are, you're near me
You dare me to be untrue

Funny, each time I fall in love
It's always you

Overall Meaning

The Glenn Miller Orchestra's song, It's Always You, tells the story of a person who sees their loved one in everything around them. Even in the twilight sky, they don't see stars but instead think of their lover. When they walk through a garden filled with roses, they don't feel the petals but think of the one they love. It becomes clear that the singer is deeply in love as they feel the presence of their loved one wherever they go.

The song speaks of the power of love and how it can consume a person's every thought and action. The singer is so enchanted by their lover that they cannot escape their presence no matter where they go. Even if they try to move on or fall in love with someone else, they realize their heart belongs to this one person, and they will always be under their spell.

Line by Line Meaning

Whenever it's early twilight
Every time it's early evening

I watch till a star breaks through
I keep looking until a star appears

Funny, it's not a star I see
But it's strange because I don't actually see a star

It's always you
I always end up thinking of you

Whenever I roam through roses
Every time I walk among the roses

And lately I often do
And I've been doing it frequently lately

Funny, it's not a rose I touch
But it's funny because I always end up thinking of you instead of touching the roses

It's always you
I always end up thinking of you

If a breeze, caresses me
If I feel a breeze on my skin

It's really you strolling by
It feels like it's you walking past me in the wind

If I hear a melody
If I hear a tune
