Lyrics

The ebb and flow of the tide

The natural rise and fall of the tide

Will carry me forth into your arms

Symbolizes being carried into the embrace of a loved one

And though I'll miss you tonight

Expressing the anticipation of missing the person tonight

The thought of your love keeps me warm

The comforting thought of the person's love providing warmth

As the moon comes out over the water

The moon rising over the water, creating a romantic atmosphere

Precious and too sweet

Describing the relationship as precious and delightful

I shall pray love your soul to keep

A prayer for the well-being of the loved one's soul

The river sleeping sound

A peaceful river representing a tranquil state

I shall be dreaming deep of you

Dreaming deeply of the loved one while the river sleeps

Soul will keep thee, rife and weepy, calling out to you

Expressing emotions, possibly sorrowful, calling out to the loved one

The dip and roar of the crowd

The noise of the crowd causing dizziness but leading to the loved one

Will dizzy me forth into your arms

Being overwhelmed and drawn into the loved one's arms

And if we pass it all around

If experiences are shared, a common perspective will be formed

We'll be of the same point of view

Unity in viewpoints when passing through challenges

As the world spins round, here ever after

Describing an enduring love despite life's constant changes

Precious and too sweet

Reiterating the precious and sweet nature of the relationship

I shall pray love your soul to keep

Continuing to pray for the loved one's well-being

The river sleeping sound

The river remains calm and sound, reflecting a stable relationship

I shall be dreaming deep of you

Deep dreams about the loved one while the river sleeps

On a bed of silver sand

A romantic setting on a bed of silver sand

I'll take you lightly by the hand

Taking the loved one's hand lightly, symbolizing a gentle connection

And we'll dance on by the moon

Dancing under the moon, a joyful expression of love

I shall be dreaming deep of you

Continuing to dream deeply about the loved one

Shattered, dreamy, calm and sweetly, fool enough for two

Describing emotions as shattered, dreamy, calm, and sweet, possibly shared by both

When the stars play hide and seek

When the stars are hidden, still dreaming deeply about the loved one

I shall be dreaming deep of you (I shall be dreaming)

Repetition of the deep dreams about the loved one

Precious and too sweet

Reiterating the precious and sweet nature of the relationship

I shall pray love your soul to keep (I shall be praying)

Continuing to pray for the loved one's soul

On a bed of silver sand

Revisiting the romantic setting on a bed of silver sand

I'll take you lightly by the hand (I shall be dreaming)

Lightly taking the loved one's hand while dreaming

And we'll dance on by the moon

Continuing to dance under the moon in the dreams

I shall be dreaming deep of you (I shall be praying)

Repeating the deep dreams and prayers for the loved one
