Like Someone in Love is a 1944 song composed by Jimmy Van Heusen with lyrics by Johnny Burke for the film Belle of the Yukon, where it was sung by Dinah Shore. The first recording was by Bing Crosby with John Scott Trotter and His Orchestra on May 3, 1944, and Crosby’s version reached number 15 on the charts in March 1945. Since then it has become a jazz standard, widely performed as a lyrical ballad. The tune is typically described as a light, dreamy jazz ballad in a 32-bar A-B-A-C form with a relaxed swing feel. It’s associated with the jazz repertoire and has been recorded by many artists.
