This song was written for the 1929 musical film The Broadway Melody, though it’s more famous from being used in Singin' in the Rain.
(Verse)
Life was a song
You came along
I lay awake the whole night through
If I but dared
To think you cared
This is what I'd say to you:
(Chorus)
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you
Nature fashioned you and when she was done
You were all those good things rolled into one
You're like a plaintive melody
That never lets me be
But I'm content
The angels must have sent
You and they meant
You just for me
You Were Meant for Me was written by Arthur Freed & Nacio Herb Brown.
Nacio Herb Brown released You Were Meant for Me on Thu Apr 11 1929.
