In the Still of the Night
In the Still of the Night: Love's Whisper in Moonlight
Lyrics
At the moon in its flight
Reflecting on the moon's journey through the sky.
My thoughts all stray, stray to you
My thoughts wander and focus on you.
In the still of the night
During the quiet and peaceful hours of the night.
While the world lies in slumber
While the world is asleep.
Oh the times without number
Recalling numerous moments.
Darling when I say to you
Expressing affection and speaking directly to a loved one.
Do you love me
Pose a question about the reciprocation of love.
As I love you
Asking if the feeling of love is mutual.
Are you my life to be
Questioning if the person is destined to be a significant part of one's life.
That dream come true
Hoping for the realization of a cherished dream.
Or will this dream of mine
Raising doubts about the longevity of the dream.
Fade out of sight
Concerns about the dream fading away.
Like the moon glowing dim
Drawing a metaphor between the fading dream and a dimming moon.
On the rim of the hill
Comparing the dim moon to its position on the hill's edge.
In the chill, in the still of the night
Emphasizing the quiet and still atmosphere of the night.
Do you love me
Reiteration of the question about mutual love.
As I love you
Repeating the inquiry regarding reciprocal feelings.
Are you my life to be
Reiterating the desire for a shared life dream.
That dream come true
Restating the aspiration for a dream to come true.
Or will this dream of mine
Revisiting doubts about the dream's endurance.
Fade out of sight
Expressing concerns about the dream fading away.
Like the moon glowing dim
Recalling the imagery of a dimming moon on the hill.
On the rim of the hill
Reiterating the comparison between the fading dream and the dim moon.
In the chill, in the still of the night
Reinforcing the atmospheric stillness of the night.
Of the night
Emphasizing the quietude and calmness of the night.
Of the night
Repeating the notion of the night's tranquility.
