Vic Dickenson & Joe Thomas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 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.
The song "I Can't Believe You're In Love With Me" by Vic Dickenson & Joe Thomas portrays a love story wherein the singer is taken aback by the fact that someone they have been in love at first sight with felt the same for them. The song takes us through the journey of the singer who never imagined being loved back by the person they so deeply admire. The singer had put the other person on a pedestal while consistently questioning their own worthiness, which is why they are astounded by the fact that the other person is in love with them. The song emphasizes the transformative power of love and how it can change one’s perception of oneself.
The lyrics use a lot of imagery to describe the love between the two people. The color blue is used to describe the love interest's eyes and the singer's feeling of sadness when their love interest is not around. The kisses of the love interest are mentioned as a surprise factor that the singer never knew could be so impactful. The singer recounts how people around them cannot believe that the love interest is in love with them, again emphasizing their own perceived unworthiness. However, the song ends on a high note with the singer feeling overjoyed to be the lucky one who is loved back.
