I've Got My Fingers Crossed
Embracing Love's Uncertainty: Fingers Crossed by Louis Armstrong
Lyrics
I've got my fingers crossed
I have optimism or hope for a positive outcome.
Not that I'm superstitious
Not because I believe in superstitions.
I'm afraid it's too good to be true
I'm worried that the situation is so good that it might be unreal or deceptive.
I've got my fingers crossed
I continue to hope for the best.
No wonder I'm suspicious
It's not surprising that I am doubtful or cautious.
I'm so gay, and the skies are much too blue
Despite feeling happy, I'm skeptical because everything seems too perfect.
Don't want no trouble with Old Man Trouble
I want to avoid problems with challenges or difficulties.
And that goes double
This desire to avoid trouble is emphasized and doubled.
On account of, because I'm in love again
This caution is because I am in love again.
This thrill is so delicious
The excitement or pleasure is extremely enjoyable.
I'm afraid it's too good to be true
Similar to line 3, the pleasure is feared to be too good to be true.
Haven't you heard what happened?
Asking if you are aware of recent events or developments.
Give you my word, it happened
Promising that what is being said is true or has happened.
Like a thunderbolt it came from out of nowhere
A sudden and unexpected event occurred, similar to a thunderbolt from the sky.
I only know it's heaven
The speaker only knows that the situation is heavenly or blissful.
How did I throw that seven?
Expressing uncertainty about the fortunate outcome and how it happened.
There's only one thing more
There's one additional aspect or thought to consider.
Maybe it won't last long
There's a possibility that the positive situation may not last for a long time.
