With A Song In My Heart

The speaker describes meeting a beloved person with renewed excitement, even though they see each other regularly and nothing has changed between meetings. Familiarity does not weaken the feeling; each encounter seems fresh and delightful. As the song develops, the speaker’s happiness grows into deep admiration and gratitude for the relationship.

The “new kind of love at first sight” suggests that love can feel new again each time two people meet. A “song in my heart” is an image for private, joyful emotion, while calling that song a “hymn” makes the beloved seem almost worthy of reverence. The music, a touch, and the sound of the loved one’s voice all express closeness and delight.

The language is intensely romantic and idealizing: the beloved’s face and voice seem to open the way to heaven. This may be poetic exaggeration rather than a literal belief. The final promise to live with a song for this person suggests lasting devotion, though the lyrics do not explain what the relationship is like beyond these moments of happiness.
