Old Devil Moon
Enchanting Night: Unveiling Love's Spell in Lena Horne's Melody
Lyrics
I look at you and suddenly
I perceive a change in you, and suddenly
Something in your eyes I see
I notice a certain expression in your eyes
Soon begins bewitching me
This expression quickly starts to enchant or captivate me
It's that old devil moon
Refers to a captivating and tempting force, metaphorically represented as an old devil moon
That you stole from the skies
Indicates that this captivating force comes from the celestial body, the moon
It's that old devil moon in your eyes
Reiterates the captivating power of the "old devil moon" now present in the person's eyes
You and you glance make this romance
Your gaze and expression intensify this romantic connection
Too hot to handle
The romantic attraction becomes overwhelming or intense
Stars in the night
Stars shining in the night sky
Blazing their light
The brilliance of the stars cannot compare to the intensity of the romantic connection
Can't hold a candle
An expression emphasizing the insignificance of other sources of light compared to the person's allure
To your razzle-dazzle
Describes the person's captivating and dazzling qualities
You've got me flyin' high and wide
The person's influence makes me feel ecstatic and expansive
On a magic carpet ride
A metaphor for feeling elated and transported as if on a magical journey
Full of butterflies inside
Aflutter with excitement and anticipation
Wanna cry, wanna croon
Expressing a desire to cry or sing with deep emotion
Wanna laugh like a loon
Expressing a desire to laugh uncontrollably
It's that old devil moon in your eyes
Reiterating the presence of the captivating force in the person's eyes
Just when I think
Just when I feel liberated or free
I'm free as a dove
The captivating force reasserts its influence
Old devil moon
Refers again to the powerful and enchanting quality of the "old devil moon"
Deep in your eyes
The captivating force in the person's eyes overwhelms with love
Blinds me with love
Highlights the blinding effect of love caused by the captivating force
