Written by Jimmy Van Heusen and Johnny Burke for the 1947 Bing Crosby and Bob Hope film Road to Rio.
The words
Love is described as a tangle of opposites, funny and sad, calm and wild, but always beautiful.
The song tries to pin down what love is and keeps finding contradictions: it can be one thing and its opposite in the same moment. It is a reflective ballad more than a personal story, a meditation in the form of a love song. Dylan sings it softly, almost musing to himself, with spare guitar and steel shading the melody.
