Like Someone in Love (song)

"Like Someone in Love" is a popular song composed in 1944 by Jimmy van Heusen, with lyrics by Johnny Burke. It was written (along with “Sleighride in July”) for the 1944 film Belle of the Yukon, where it was sung by Dinah Shore. It was a hit for Bing Crosby in March 1945, reaching #15, and has since become a jazz standard.
