One I Love
The Rat Pack Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm in the mood for love
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
I'm in the mood for love?

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 one I love belongs to somebody else
She means her tender songs for somebody else
And even when I have my arms around her
I know her thoughts are strong for somebody else
The hands I held belong to somebody else
I'll bet they're not so cold to somebody else
It's tough to be alone on the shelf
It's worse to fall in love by yourself
The one I love belongs to somebody else
The one I love belongs to somebody else

Born in 50, I grew-up with these two Giants & everyone else. Vaudeville performers, radio, big bands & stage shows. Movies used them, but when TV came along, BAM.. In our living rooms Daily..
Though music changed, Dean & Frank became Icons with music that Will last.
