You Do Something To Me
Victor Young's Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I gave my heart in to your keeping
It brought the harvest I am reaping
And I always wonder now
When summer twilight's gently falling
I'd love to know if you're recalling
Your tender words to me enthralling
When you have another's arms about you,
Do you ever think of me
When you whisper "I can't live without you,"
Do you ever think of me
And when your eyes disguise the same old loving lies,
You tell so tenderly
Deep in your heart unfeeling
When some heart you're stealing
Do you ever think of me.
The lyrics to Victor Young's Orchestra's song You Do Something to Me delve into themes of love, longing, and heartbreak. The first verse speaks of the dreamlike state of falling in love and giving oneself over to it completely. The singer acknowledges that this love has brought them a bountiful harvest, but they still wonder if their lover remembers the tender words that were said in the past. The second verse poses questions about what the lover thinks of when they're in another's arms and if they ever think of the singer when they say things like "I can't live without you." The final lines suggest that even though the lover may be unfeeling in their heart, and may even break the hearts of others, the singer still wonders if they ever think of them.
Overall, the lyrics are a poignant exploration of the pain and longing that can come with unrequited love. They paint a vivid picture of someone who is still holding onto the hope that their lover will think of them, even though they may be with someone else. The song's melancholic tone is perfectly suited to this theme, with lush orchestration and soaring melodies that convey the intense emotions at play.

When love in to my dreams was creeping
When I started dreaming of love
I gave my heart in to your keeping
I trusted you with my heart
It brought the harvest I am reaping
Love has rewarded me
And I always wonder now
But I still wonder if you think of me
When summer twilight's gently falling
When the sunset brings memories back
I'd love to know if you're recalling
I wonder if you remember
Your tender words to me enthralling
The words you spoke to me that captivated my heart
And my heart is wond'ring still
And I still wonder if you think of me
When you have another's arms about you,
When you're in someone else's embrace
Do you ever think of me
Do I cross your mind at all
When you whisper "I can't live without you,"
When you say you can't live without someone
Do you ever think of me
Do I come to mind in those moments
And when your eyes disguise the same old loving lies,
When your eyes hide the same insincere expressions of love
You tell so tenderly
You say them so sweetly
Deep in your heart unfeeling
Despite the lack of emotion in your heart
When some heart you're stealing
When you're stealing someone else's heart
Do you ever think of me.
Do you ever think of me at those times

She defined that accent and that way of singing. It doesn't matter how "camp" (?) it became. It's her, and it's hers.
