I'm in a Dancing Mood
Tommy Dorsey & His Orchestra Feat. Jack Leonard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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 lyrics from Tommy Dorsey's song "In The Mood For Love" speak of an individual's desire for love and how the mere presence of their significant other can put them in the mood. The lyrics establish a sense of intimacy and closeness between two people where the individual is so enamored by their significant other, they are willing to ignore any obstacle in their path. The song speaks of the heaven in their significant other's eyes, and the stars represent the limitless possibilities and hope that the future holds for both of them. The inclusion of the line "why stop to think of whether this little dream might fade" emphasizes how love is all-consuming, and one cannot be preoccupied with doubt when they are under the influence of such strong feelings.
The song's message emphasizes that irrespective of the condition or circumstance, love can give one the courage and confidence to overcome any obstacle. The lyrics in the last line of the song "But for tonight, forget it! I'm in the mood for love" highlights the moments where one should forget the outside world and live in the moment, focusing solely on the passionate feelings they share with their partner.
