How High the Moon
Unveiling Love's Celestial Heights: 'How High the Moon' Explained
Lyrics
Somewhere there's music
Somewhere there is music
How faint the tune
Describing the faintness of the melody
Somewhere there's heaven
Reference to a heavenly place
How high the moon
Expressing the height of emotions, possibly love
There is no moon above
Highlighting the absence of the moon
When love is far away too
When love is distant
Till it comes true
Anticipation of a desired outcome
That you love me as I love you
Mutual love between two individuals
Somewhere there's music
Reiteration of the existence of music
How near, how far
Exploring the proximity and distance of things
Somewhere there's heaven
Reference to a heavenly place in relation to the lover's location
It's where you are
Identifying the location of heaven with the presence of the loved one
The darkest night would shine
Expressing the transformative power of love even in the darkest times
If you would come to me soon
Hope for the loved one's arrival
Until you will, how still my heart
Describing the stillness of the heart in the absence of the loved one
How high the moon
Reiteration of the heightened emotions in the absence of the loved one
Somewhere there's music
Reiteration of the presence of music
How faint the tune
Re-emphasizing the faintness of the melody
Somewhere there's heaven
Restating the concept of a heavenly place
How high the moon
Reaffirming the intensity of emotions
The darkest night would shine
Repetition of the idea that love can illuminate the darkest night
If you would come to me soon
Reiteration of the longing for the loved one's presence
Until you will, how still my heart
Expressing the continued stillness of the heart until the loved one arrives
How high the moon
Final emphasis on the profound emotions experienced in the absence of the loved one
