Like Someone in Love


Sheet music
Like Someone in Love was written by Jimmy Van Heusen (music) and Johnny Burke (lyrics) in 1944. It was written for the movie Belle of the Yukon, in which Dinah Shore sang it.
(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 thought 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

Rhymes:
stars (line 1) - guitars (line 2)
me (line 3) - me (line 4)
wings (line 5) - things (line 6)
glove (line 7) - love (line 8)

Rhymes are usually placed at the end of lines, but in this song, two rhymes occur with words that are in the middle of lines. "Stars" on line 1 rhymes with "guitars" on line 2 which in the middle of the line. Likewise, "Wings" on line 5 rhymes with "things" in the middle of the next line.
