Ella Fitzgerald - Like Someone In Love Lyrics






Lately I find myself out gazing at stars
Hearing guitars like someone in love
Sometimes the things I do astound me
Mostly whenever you're around me

Lately I seem to walk as though I had wings
Bump into things like someone in love

Each time I look at you I'm limp as a glove
And feeling like someone in love

Each time I look at you I'm limp as a glove
And feeling like someone in love
Feeling like someone in love

  1. M.... B....

    Limp as a glove [yet] so much in love
    : I'm a guitarist and was introduced by virtuoso players in the 1950s -- like Country/Jazz giant Hank Garland -- to the melodies of Jimmy Van Heusen: Hank and Chet Atkins were life-long fans of Van Heusen's best songs. With lyricist Johnny Burke, Jimmy Van (the former Chester Babcock) composed such towering standards as “Here's That Rainy Day” and “But Beautiful.” I awoke this morning humming one of their lesser gems -- LIKE SOMEONE IN LOVE – always the same words come to mind:


    “Lately, I seem to walk as though I had wings [and] bump into things, like someone in love!”

    Just as an aside: What rhymes with “Love”? Approximately nothing: “above” and “glove” and not much else. Which reminds me: the word “gay” rhymed with a host of everyday words. But the day it ceased to mean “festive” -- as in “Gay Paree” (whose) “heart was young & gay”) -- lyric writers lost big time! I mean, what rhymes with “festive”? “Restive” .... and nothing else. Or nothing of use to the love song you are composing.

    LIKE SOMEONE IN LOVE is a 'girl song' no matter how nicely Sinatra sang it! Only a Lady can say brightly,

    “Each time I look at you, I'm limp as a glove!”

    Google for LIKE SOMEONE IN LOVE and first offering at YouTube is my favorite by Ella – from the late 50's (wonder who arranged? The strings are distinctively lovely, but don't sound like early Nelson Riddle). Hard to improve on Ella's interpretation, you may agree.

    From Wikipedia: "Like Someone in Love" is a popular song composed in 1944 by Jimmy van Heusen, with lyrics by Johnny Burke. It was written (along with "Sleighride in July") for the 1944 film Belle of the Yukon, where it was sung by Dinah Shore. It was a hit for Bing Crosby in March 1945, reaching #15, and has since become a jazz standard.

    Lately, I find myself out gazing at stars
    Hearing guitars like someone in love
    Sometimes the things I do astound me
    Mostly whenever you're around me
    Lately I seem to walk as though I had wings
    Bump into things like someone in love
    Each time I look at you
    I'm limp as a glove
    And feeling like someone in love
    Lately I seem to walk as though I have wings
    Bump into things like someone in love
    Each time I look at you I'm limp as a glove
    And feeling like someone in love
    Feeling like someone in love
    In love
