You Are In Love
Embrace the Symphony of Love: Miriam Makeba's 'You Are In Love' Unveiled
Lyrics
When your heart is light and gay
Expressing the light and joyous feeling in one's heart.
And you can't find words to say
Unable to articulate the emotions that accompany being in love.
Just what makes you feel that way
Desire to understand and communicate the source of happiness.
You are in love
Confirmation of being in love.
You are in love
Reiteration of the affirmation of being in love.
When each hour seems like years
Perception of time slowing down until the loved one appears.
Till that moment he appears
Anticipation and yearning for the significant other.
If your heart stands up and cheers
Feeling of elation and joy when the loved one is present.
You are in love
Reaffirmation of being in love.
You are in love
Restating the confirmation of being in love.
I know that fabulous feeling
Acknowledging the intense and wonderful emotion of love.
That burning desire
Referring to the passionate longing for the loved one.
It can make your heart sing like a choir
Describing the overwhelming joy that love brings, akin to a choir singing.
The world was made for loving
Asserting that the world is designed for love.
And a lifetime of heaven is yours
Claiming that a lifetime of bliss is available when in love.
Once you've started turtle doving
Referencing the beginning of a committed relationship ("turtle doving").
If he's always on your mind
Indicating constant thoughts of the loved one.
And as time goes on you'll find
Suggesting that over time, focus on others diminishes.
To all others you are blind
Expressing exclusive attention to the beloved.
You are in love
Reaffirmation of being in love.
You are in love
Restating the confirmation of being in love.
I know that fabulous feeling
Acknowledging the intense and wonderful emotion of love (repeated).
That burning desire
Referring again to the passionate longing for the loved one.
It can make your heart sing like a choir
Reiterating the overwhelming joy that love brings (repeated).
The world was made for loving
Reasserting that the world is designed for love (repeated).
And a lifetime of heaven is yours
Reaffirming that a lifetime of bliss is available when in love (repeated).
Once you've started turtle doving
Repeating the reference to the beginning of a committed relationship ("turtle doving").
If he's always on your mind
Reemphasizing constant thoughts of the loved one (repeated).
And as time goes on you'll find
Reiterating that over time, focus on others diminishes (repeated).
To all other you are blind
Repeating the expression of exclusive attention to the beloved (repeated).
You are in love
Reaffirmation of being in love (repeated).
You are in love
Restating the confirmation of being in love (repeated).
You're in love
Final confirmation of being in love.
