In the Still of the Night
Love's Whisper in the Night
Lyrics
In the still of the night
Reflecting on the quietness and calmness of the night.
As I gaze out of my window
Looking out of the window and observing the moon's journey across the sky.
At the moon in it's flight
Noting the moon's flight and possibly drawing a parallel to one's own thoughts taking flight.
My thoughts all stray, stray to you
Thinking about someone special; thoughts wandering and focusing on that person.
In the still of the night
Reiterating the peacefulness of the night, emphasizing personal contemplation.
While the world lies in slumber
While the rest of the world is asleep, suggesting a private, intimate moment.
Oh the times without number
Expressing the repetitive nature of these contemplative moments.
When I say to you
Addressing the person of focus and communicating feelings or thoughts.
Do you love me
Posing a question about love, seeking confirmation or affirmation.
Just like I love you
Comparing the intensity of one's love to gauge the depth of the other person's feelings.
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
Expressing a hope or desire for a shared, fulfilling future together.
Or will this dream of mine
Pondering the potential fragility of the dream and its endurance over time.
Will it fade way out of sight
Concerned about the possibility of the dream fading or losing its clarity.
Just like that moon growing dim
Illustrating the fading moon as a metaphor for the diminishing dream or emotions.
Way out on the rim of the hill
Describing the moon as growing dim, possibly signifying a sense of distance or separation.
In the still of the night
Returning to the stillness of the night, emphasizing the lingering thoughts and emotions.
