"Yours Is My Heart Alone" is an aria composed by Franz Lehár for his 1929 operetta The Land of Smiles (Das Land des Lächelns). Originally titled "Dein ist mein ganzes Herz" in German, it was written specifically for the celebrated tenor Richard Tauber and became Lehár's most famous single composition.

Originally in D-flat major, the aria features a soaring, romantic melody that demands considerable vocal range and expression. Unusually for an operetta piece, it crossed over into jazz, swing, and pop music through English-language adaptations. The tune's sweeping melodic contours lend themselves to lush big band arrangements, and its dramatic emotional arc offers rich material for expressive jazz interpretation.

The most celebrated jazz treatment is Glenn Miller and His Orchestra's 1940 recording for Bluebird, arranged by Bill Finegan, which showcased the signature Miller reed sound in a swinging arrangement. In the vocal realm, Bing Crosby's 1940 rendition and recordings by Frank Sinatra helped establish the song's enduring place in the American popular repertoire.
