In the Still of the Night
Moonlit Musings: Love's Reflection in the Still of the Night
Lyrics
In the still of the night
Refers to the quietness and calmness of the nighttime.
As I gaze out of my window
Describes looking out of the window, possibly contemplating or reflecting.
At the moon in it's flight
Observing the moon's movement through the sky.
My thoughts all stray, stray to you
His mind wanders, focusing on thoughts about a specific person.
In the still of the night
Reiterates the peacefulness of the night.
While the world lies in slumber
While the rest of the world is asleep or inactive.
Oh the times without number
Reflecting on numerous occasions in the past.
When I say to you
Expressing thoughts or feelings to the person being addressed.
Do you love me
Posing a question about the other person's feelings.
Just like I love you
Wondering if the other person reciprocates the same level of love.
Are you my life to be
Asking if the other person holds the key to his future happiness.
That dream come true
Expressing hope that the person is the fulfillment of a cherished dream.
Or will this dream of mine
Questioning whether this hope or dream will endure.
Will it fade way out of sight
Concern about the possibility of the dream fading or disappearing.
Just like that moon growing dim
Comparing the potential fading of the dream to the dimming of the moon.
Way out on the rim of the hill
Imagery depicting the moon's dimming as it sets on the horizon.
In the still of the night
Reaffirms the tranquil setting of the night.
