"So in Love" is a popular song, written by Cole Porter, from his musical Kiss Me, Kate (opening on Broadway in 1948), which was based on Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew. It was sung in the show by Patricia Morison, reprised by Alfred Drake, and further popularized by Patti Page in 1949.
The song was recorded by Tony Bennett as a solo song from his and Lady Gaga's second collaborative album Love for Sale.
Lyrics
Strange dear, but true dear
When I'm close to you, dear
The stars fill the sky
So in love with you am I
Even without you
My arms fold about you
You know darling why
So in love with you am I
In love with the night mysterious
The night when you first were there
In love with my joy delirious
When I knew that you could care
So taunt me, and hurt me
Deceive me, desert me
I'm yours, till I die.....
So in love.... So in love....
So in love with you, my love... am I....
