You're The One
Woody Herman and His Orchestra 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 Woody Herman and His Orchestra's song "Love With a Capital You" talks about the feeling of falling in love with someone and not feeling adequate enough for them to reciprocate the love. The song starts with the singer explaining how they fell in love at first sight and that they never thought the other person could ever love them too. The singer keeps reminiscing about the other person's blue eyes and kisses that made them fall for them.
As the song progresses, the singer talks about how the other person is telling everyone that they are in love with the singer, but people find it hard to believe it because of the difference in their status. The singer always held the other person in high regard and never thought that they could match up to them. The song then ends with the singer realizing that they are indeed the lucky one to be loved by the other person.
Overall, the song talks about the vulnerability and insecurity that comes with falling in love and how someone can feel unworthy of being loved back.

I'm proud of everything you do
It all seems too good to me to all be true
It all seems too good to be true that you love me
