Jimmy Dorsey 1940
You give me your lips
And your lips are so heavenly
Stars in the sky are all free
And they shine for me
So does the moon in the blue
All this is mine and heaven too
You give me your arms
And your arms are like angel wings,
Sweet to my ear is the song ev'ry bluebird sings
Each rosebud kissed by the dew,
All this is mine and heaven too.
I own each summer day
Each mountain capped with snow
The sentimental tree, the dreamy streams that flow,
Ev'ry country lane and ev'ry street of stone
Are highways of adventure made for me alone.
You give me your love
And your love is a melody,
Deep in my heart I will carry the song with me
You bring a love so divine
All this is mine and heaven too

The artist emphasized the emotional part of the song with phrases such as "and your love is a melody".
