Lost in Loveliness
Enchanted by Loveliness: Billy Eckstine's Musical Journey into Passion
Lyrics
What a thrill you are,
Expressing excitement and admiration for the person being addressed.
What a sight to see,
Highlighting the captivating and beautiful presence of the person.
Something the eyes of mortals have no right to see.
Suggesting that the person's beauty transcends what is ordinarily seen by mortals.
Am I on the earth or in the sky?
Expressing a sense of disorientation, questioning if the experience is earthly or otherworldly.
Lost in loveliness am I.
Acknowledging being overwhelmed by the beauty and charm of the person.
When I look at you,
Stating the effect of losing oneself when gazing at the person.
I forget myself,
Describing the distraction caused by the person, leading to self-forgetfulness.
I could go mad about you if I let myself.
Expressing the potential intensity of emotions that could arise if one allows it.
Should I let myself, or pass you by?
Pondering the decision of whether to pursue the intense emotions or let the opportunity pass.
Lost in loveliness am I.
Reiterating the state of being captivated by loveliness.
I know I'm reaching for a star,
Acknowledging reaching for something extraordinary, possibly the person's love or affection.
What's more, I know how dangerous you are.
Acknowledging the potential risks and challenges associated with pursuing the person.
If I were wise
Considering the wisdom in avoiding or ignoring the intense emotions and potential challenges.
I'd close my eyes
Contemplating the idea of closing one's eyes to the situation.
Or walk away and worship from afar.
Suggesting an alternative of maintaining a distance and admiring from afar.
In the lonely night,
Referring to a time of solitude and introspection.
You would haunt my heart,
Describing the lingering impact of the person on the heart, even in solitude.
And I would pray that someday you might want my heart.
Expressing a hope that the person may reciprocate feelings in the future.
And I'd have to live my whole life through
Contemplating the idea of living with the enduring impact of the person's loveliness.
Lost in loveliness, the loveliness of you.
Reiterating the theme of being perpetually lost in the beauty of the person.
