You Were Meant For Me Lyrics
[DON]
Life was a song
You came along
I've laid awake the whole night through
If I ever dared
To think you cared
This is what I'd say to you
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you
Nature patterned you
And when she was done
You were all the sweet things
Rolled up in one
You're like a plaintive melody
That never lets me free
But I'm content
The angels must have sent you
And they meant you
Just for me
[DANCE BREAK]
But I'm content
The angels must have sent you
And they meant you
Just for me
Life was a song
You came along
I've laid awake the whole night through
If I ever dared
To think you cared
This is what I'd say to you
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you
Nature patterned you
And when she was done
You were all the sweet things
Rolled up in one
You're like a plaintive melody
That never lets me free
But I'm content
The angels must have sent you
And they meant you
Just for me
[DANCE BREAK]
But I'm content
The angels must have sent you
And they meant you
Just for me
About
Genius Annotation
Self-deprecatingly calling himself a ham, Don (Gene Kelly) says that he can’t articulate his feelings for Kathy (Debbie Reynolds) without the proper setting. He promptly takes her into a studio that isn’t being used and sets up the equipment to re-create a romantic sunset and mist rolling in before singing her this song.
