I Can't Believe You're in Love With Me
Tony Bennett Feat. Elvis Costello Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yesterday you came my way,
And when you smiled at me,
In my heart I felt a thrill you see,
That it was love at sight and
I was right to love you as I do.
Still I never dreamed that you could love me too.

Your eyes of blue, your kisses too,
I never knew what they could do.
I can't believe that you're in love with me.

You're telling ev'ry one I know
I'm on your mind each place we go
They can't believe that you're in love with me.

I have always placed you far above me.
I just can't imagine that you love me.
And after all is said and done,
To think that I'm the lucky one.
I can't believe that you're in love with me.

Skies are gray. I'm blue each day
When you are not around.
Ev'ry thing goes wrong, my dear I've found
But when you're by my side I fill with pride
For I'm so proud of you
It all seems too good to me to all be true

Your eyes of blue, your kisses too,
I never knew what they could do.
I can't believe that you're in love with me.

You're telling ev'ry one I know
I'm on your mind each place we go
They can't believe that you're in love with me.

I have always placed you far above me.
I just can't imagine that you love me.
And after all is said and done,




To think that I'm the lucky one.
I can't believe that you're in love with me.

Overall Meaning

Tony Bennett's song "I Can't Believe That You're in Love with Me" is a beautiful romantic ballad that tells the story of a man who can't believe that the woman he loves could ever love him back. The song begins with the man describing how he fell in love with her at first sight and how surprised he was to discover that she loved him too. He can't help but feel amazed and grateful that she chose him.


The second verse talks about how she talks about him to everyone she knows and how they are all surprised that she loves him. He seems to be in disbelief that someone like her could love someone like him, as he has always placed her on a pedestal above himself. However, when they are together, he feels proud to be with someone like her.


Overall, the lyrics beautifully depict the feeling of being in love and not quite believing that the other person could be in love with you too. The song is a classic example of romantic ballads that never lose their charm and continue to touch hearts across generations.
