Moon or No Moon
Captivated Hearts: Moonlit Confessions by Jessie Matthews
Lyrics
Heaven wears a gorgeous dress tonight
Heaven is depicted as wearing a beautiful dress tonight.
Fashioned for a man my dear
The dress is created specifically for a man, emphasizing a special occasion or connection.
As far as the eye is concerned
From the perspective of the eye, the view is described as lovely.
It's a lovely view
The beauty of the scene is acknowledged.
But I really must confess tonight
The singer confesses not needing the current atmosphere tonight.
I don't need this atmosphere
There is a desire for a more intimate connection than the external surroundings.
As far as my heart is concerned
From the heart's perspective, all that is needed is the person the singer loves.
All I need is you
The ultimate need is expressed – the presence of the loved one.
Moon or no moon
Regardless of the moon's presence or absence, the fascination remains.
You still have this fascination
The enduring charm that brought the singer to the arms of the loved one is emphasized.
That brought me to your arms
Referring to the past, the singer reminisces about the captivating quality that led to an embrace tonight.
Tonight, dear
This evening is addressed with endearment.
Stars or no stars
Regardless of the presence of stars, the same temptation lingers.
I still feel the same temptation
The singer still feels the same desire to steal kisses, irrespective of the celestial surroundings.
To steal a kiss or two
Expressing a romantic urge to share kisses tonight.
Tonight, dear
Similar to line 14, tonight is emphasized as a special moment.
I never am fooled by
The singer claims not to be fooled by the moon or stars.
The moon, the stars above
The celestial bodies do not sway the singer; instead, the heart governs.
I only am ruled by
The singer is guided only by the heart's declaration of love.
This heart which says, I love you
Emphasizing that love is the dominant force in decision-making.
Moon or no moon
Reiteration of feeling the same temptation regardless of the moon.
I still feel the same temptation
The enduring desire for intimacy remains unchanged.
As long as you're you
The temptation persists as long as the loved one remains true to themselves.
That wonderful you
The emphasis on the wonderful qualities of the loved one.
I never am fooled by
Repetition of not being fooled by the moon or stars.
The moon, the stars above
Reaffirmation that the heart is the sole ruler, guiding decisions.
I only am ruled by
Emphasizing the heart's declaration of love as the primary influence.
This heart which says, I love you
Reiteration of the heart's dominance in matters of love.
Moon or no moon
Regardless of the moon, the same temptation endures.
I still feel the same temptation
The persistent desire for intimacy remains unchanged.
As long as I knew that wonderful you
The enduring temptation is tied to the knowledge of having the wonderful loved one.
Were mine
Ownership of the loved one is expressed, emphasizing a deep connection.
