Tommy Dorsey / Jimmy Dorsey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Though life is empty since you have gone.
You're always on my mind, though out of sight,
It's lonesome through the day,
But oh! the night.
I cry my heart out, it's bound to break,
Since nothing matters, let it break.
I ask the sun and the moon,
What's to become of it,
This love of mine.
The lyrics to Tommy Dorsey and Jimmy Dorsey's song This Love Of Mine, express the feelings of longing and heartbreak after a romantic relationship has ended. The singer of the song, whose lover has left them, notes that their love for their former partner is still as strong as ever, and confesses that they cannot get their ex out of their mind, even though they are no longer together. Despite the sadness and loneliness that they feel during the day, it is even worse at night when the emptiness they experience is unbearable. They cry out their heart until it is broken, and though they know nothing matters anymore, they cannot let go of their love.
The singer is lost and confused, and in a bid to find answers, they turn to the sun, the moon, and the stars, wondering what will become of their love. The song's lyrics create a sad and melancholic atmosphere, portraying the singer's desperation and sorrow, as they realize that despite their efforts, their love is over, and they must face the consequences.

This love of mine goes on and on,
Despite your absence, my love for you persists endlessly.
Though life is empty since you have gone.
My life has lost its meaning since you left me.
You're always on my mind, though out of sight,
You are constantly in my thoughts even though I cannot physically see you.
It's lonesome through the day,
My days are filled with loneliness.
But oh! the night.
However, the night brings comfort in the form of dreaming about you.
I cry my heart out, it's bound to break,
My heart is full of deep sorrow, and it feels like it will never be able to heal.
Since nothing matters, let it break.
I feel like nothing else in life really matters without you, so I am willing to let my heart break.
I ask the sun and the moon,
I ask the natural elements of the universe for guidance.
The stars that shine,
I look to the stars for answers.
What's to become of it,
I am unsure of what will happen to our love.
This love of mine.
My love for you, although strained, remains.
