Dancing on the Ceiling
Miraculous Love in a Dancing Sky: Sinatra's Poetic Serenade
Lyrics
The world is lyrical
The world is filled with poetic expression and beauty.
Because a miracle
A miraculous event has occurred.
Has brought my lover to me
This miracle has brought the speaker's lover to them.
Though she's some other place, her face I see
Even though the lover is physically elsewhere, the speaker can vividly see their face.
At night I creep in bed
During the night, the speaker lies in bed.
And never sleep in bed
Contrary to the usual practice, the speaker does not sleep but gazes into the air.
But look above in the air
The speaker looks up and experiences great joy because their love is present.
And to my greatest joy, my love is there
The lover is figuratively present, possibly in the speaker's thoughts or dreams.
She dances overhead
The lover is depicted as dancing on the ceiling.
On the ceiling near my bed
This dance is happening near the speaker's bed, creating a surreal image.
In my sight
The lover's dance is visible to the speaker.
All through the night
The dance continues throughout the night.
I try to hide in vain
The speaker attempts to conceal their emotions but fails.
Underneath my counterpane
Despite efforts to hide, the speaker's emotions are laid bare.
But there's my love
The speaker acknowledges the lover's presence above.
Up there above
The lover is still there, emphasizing a persistent and vivid connection.
I whisper, "Go away, my lover
The speaker softly urges the lover to leave, expressing a sense of unfairness.
It's not fair"
The speaker acknowledges gratitude for the lover's continued presence.
But I'm so grateful to discover
Despite the initial reluctance, the speaker is thankful for the ongoing connection.
That she's still there
The lover's enduring presence brings joy to the speaker.
I love my ceiling more
The speaker now appreciates their ceiling as a dancing floor for their love.
Since it is a dancing floor
The ceiling has gained special significance due to the lover's dance.
Just for my love
The dancing floor on the ceiling is exclusively for the speaker's love.
