I Can't Believe That You're In Love With Me

Mel Torme · Other Songs - Mel Torme

Yesterday you came my way,

And when you smiled at me,

In my heart I felt a thrill you see,

That it was love at sight and

I was right to love you as I do.

Still I never dreamed that you could love me too.



Your eyes of blue, your kisses too,

I never knew what they could do.

I can't believe that you're in love with me.



You're telling ev'ry one I know

I'm on your mind each place we go

They can't believe that you're in love with me.



I have always placed you far above me.

I just can't imagine that you love me.

And after all is said and done,

To think that I'm the lucky one.

I can't believe that you're in love with me.



Skies are gray. I'm blue each day

When you are not around.

Ev'ry thing goes wrong, my dear I've found

But when you're by my side I fill with pride

For I'm so proud of you

It all seems too good to me to all be true



Your eyes of blue, your kisses too,

I never knew what they could do.

I can't believe that you're in love with me.



You're telling ev'ry one I know

I'm on your mind each place we go

They can't believe that you're in love with me.



I have always placed you far above me.

I just can't imagine that you love me.

And after all is said and done,

To think that I'm the lucky one.

I can't believe that you're in love with me.

I Can't Believe That You're In Love With Me

Mel Torme delivers a tender and introspective performance on this 1968 recording, a track that exemplifies his signature blend of jazz inflection and pop sensibility. The song captures the vulnerability and disbelief often associated with falling in love, delivered with a warm, baritone vocal that defines Torme's approach to mid-to-late 60s R&B and soul. As part of his extensive discography, the recording showcases his ability to convey deep emotion through subtle phrasing and dynamic control, avoiding the overt aggression of his earlier work while maintaining a distinct musical identity. The piece stands as a testament to his skill in interpreting themes of romantic uncertainty with grace and authenticity, resonating within the broader context of the era's vocal jazz and pop landscape.
