No Other Love
Jo Stafford                          1950
Music and Lyrics by Richard Rogers and Oscar Hammerstein


No other love have I
Only my love for you
Only the dream we knew
No other love.
Watching the night go by
Wishing that you could be
Watching the night with me.
Into the night I cry,
Hurry home, come home to me.
Set me free, free from doubt
And free from longing.
Into your arms i�ll fly
Locked in your arms I�ll stay
Waiting to hear you say,
�No Other love have I,
No other love.�
Meaning: This song is about the main character waiting for his love to come back. The main character loves his love alot and he thinks that she is cheating on him. The artist emphasized that point especially at the last four lines of this song "locked in your arms i'll stay waiting to hear you say, no other love have I, no other love." This poem is sad because the main character of this song is thinking that his love is cheating on him and that he is depressed as supported here "into the night I cry," Overall this is a depressing poem.
Relate to 1950: I think that this poem relates to the 1950s because during that time maybe lots of women were cheating on their loved ones. Of course that is my hypotheses. Another way this poem relates to the 1950s is because that its about love. During this decade people were generally concerned with emotions. The people during the 1950s were more emotional than the previous decades.
