Song lyrics

I'm so lonely and blue
When I'm without you.
I don't know what I'd do
Sweetheart, without you.
The joy and tears
That love endears
Would have no meaning
If I didn't have you
To keep me dreaming.
At the close of each day
When I'm without you.
And my heart kneels to pray
I pray about you.
You take a star
And lead it far away from heaven
And the star will be lost
As I'm lost without you.
At the close of each day
When I'm without you
And my heart kneels to pray
I pray about you.
You take a star
And lead it far away from heaven
And the star will be lost
As I'm lost without you.

Notes

The images are static, stillness. The Walt Disney Studios use the zoom intensely, as a transcendence from loneliness to the sweetheart one. The song is meaningful and praise the romantic theme. The association with sentimentality led to the term ballad being used for slow love songs.

The transition between the frames is slow just to emphasize the desolation full of despair. It is worth noting that image with leafless trees that seems to be praying to heaven.

It finds some relevance in a later production Melody Time (1948), that wonderful poem animated by a great sensitivity that was Trees a masterpieces of Walt Disney, a perfect harmony between words, music and animation.
