Monroe sang with some of the "Big Bands" of the '40s era, but his music transcended that style to become a popular radio and television personality - like Perry Como, Dean Martin, etc.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like the summer's breeze
My lady love, with love that's tender
You give me all of the things
That I need so much
You're my world, lady love
Lady love, your love is cooling
My lady love, with love that's cozy
And I keep on needing you, girl
A little more and more
And I thank you, my lady love
You know, it's not easy
To keep love flowing smooth
People are people and they all have their moods
But it's so nice, just to have someone like you
Who wants a smooth and easy thing
And all the good times that it brings
My lady love, you've been with me
Through all of my ups and downs
My lady love, I once was lost
But now with you, I'm found
You got the love I need
And I want to stay around
Heaven sent you down, my lady love
Let me tell you that it's not easy
To keep love flowing smooth
You know, people are people, they all have their moods
But it's so nice, just to have someone like you
Who wants a smooth and easy thing
And all the good times and the joy that it brings
My lady love, you've been with me
Through all of my ups and downs
And my crazy turn arounds
My lady love, you got the love I need
So stay around
Heaven sent my lady love
So glad I found my lady love, lady love
So glad I found my lady love, lady love
So glad I found my lady love, lady love
So glad I found my lady love
The song "Lady Love" by Vaughn Monroe is a beautiful tribute to the love and loyalty of a devoted partner. Throughout the lyrics, we see the singer praising his lady love for her peacefulness and tenderness, comparing her love to both the warm summer breeze and the cool winter snow. He acknowledges that keeping love flowing smoothly is not always easy, as people have their moods and difficulties, but he also expresses gratitude for having his lady love by his side through all of his ups and downs.
What stands out most about this song is the singer's deep appreciation for the simplicity and ease of love that he experiences with his partner. He repeatedly emphasizes how nice it is to have someone who wants a smooth and easy thing in a world that can often be chaotic and unpredictable. This sentiment is especially poignant given the time period in which the song was written (the mid-20th century), which was characterized by social and political upheaval.
Overall, this song is a testament to the power of love to provide comfort and stability in an unstable world. The singer's unwavering devotion to his lady love and willingness to weather any storm with her is a beautiful expression of the kind of partnership that many of us aspire to.

This song comes from the 1952 film Sound Off which was when my lifetime fascination and interest is his music started. I am now 81 and still a fan with most of his material on tape or disc. Had this record played on the radio and taped it. Probably one of my Desert Island Discs mif I am ever invited. Love the lyric and arrangement. Thank you Vaughn. RIP
