Say It
Tommy Dorsey and His Orchestra & Frank Sinatra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Over and over again,
Never stop saying you're mine.
Say it,
Ever and ever so sweet,
Ever and ever so sweet just like an old valentine.
When you say I love you,
The same old I love you,
You can change I love you,
The same old I love you,
To oh such a heavenly phrase.
So say it,
Softly and gently and then,
Over and over again,
Never stop saying you're mine.
The song "Say It" by Tommy Dorsey & his Orchestra, featuring vocals by Frank Sinatra, is a classic love song that emphasizes the importance of verbal affirmation in relationships. The opening lines, "Say it over and over again, / Over and over again, / Never stop saying you're mine," suggest that hearing those three little words, "I love you," repeatedly is essential for a successful romance.
The lyrics go on to stress the sweetness and sincerity of such declarations, comparing them to an "old valentine." The singer urges their beloved to find new, unique ways to express their love, not just recycling "the same old I love you" seen in "stories and plays." Through this repetition and urging for creativity, the song emphasizes the depth and importance of genuine, verbal expressions of affection.
Overall, "Say It" is a simple yet powerful testament to the value of speaking one's love out loud, both for the singer's sake and the relationship's.
