How High the Moon
Love's Celestial Melody: How High the Moon's Serenade
Lyrics
Somewhere there's music
Somewhere there is music
How faint the tune
Describing the faintness of the tune
Somewhere there's heaven
Belief in the existence of heaven somewhere
How high the moon
Expressing the elevated nature of the moon
There is no moon above
Highlighting the absence of the moon above
When love is far away too
When love is distant, there is no moon
Till it comes true
Hopeful anticipation until dreams come true
That you love me as I love you
Reciprocal expression of love
Somewhere there's music
Reiteration of the presence of music somewhere
How near, how far
Exploring the proximity and distance of things
Somewhere there's heaven
Reaffirmation of the belief in heaven
It's where you are
Heaven is defined by the presence of the loved one
The darkest night would shine
Even the darkest night is brightened by love
If you would come to me soon
Yearning for the loved one to come soon
Until you will, how still my heart
Expressing the stillness of the heart in the absence of the loved one
How high the moon
Reiterating the elevated nature of the moon
Somewhere there's music
Continuation of the theme of music existing somewhere
How faint the tune
Reiteration of the faintness of the tune
Somewhere there's heaven
Reaffirmation of the belief in heaven's existence
How high the moon
Re-emphasizing the elevated nature of the moon
The darkest night would shine
Repetition of the idea that even the darkest night is bright with love
If you would come to me soon
Reiteration of the yearning for the loved one's presence
Until you will, how still my heart
Restating the stillness of the heart in anticipation
How high the moon
Final emphasis on the elevated nature of the moon
