Lyrics
The moon was all aglow
The moon was shining brightly.
But heaven was in your eyes
Your eyes had a heavenly, enchanting quality.
The night that you told me
This refers to a specific night when something significant happened.
Those little white lies
You confessed to telling small, harmless lies.
The stars all seemed to know
The stars seemed aware or understanding of your insincere expressions.
You didn't mean all those sighs
You were insincere in the sounds of longing or yearning.
The night that you told me
This repeats the idea of a night when lies were confessed.
Those little white lies
You admitted to telling small, innocent lies.
I try, but there's no forgetting
Despite efforts, it's hard to forget the mentioned night.
When evenin' appears
The evening brings back memories.
I sigh but there's no regretting
Sighing, but no feeling of regret despite tears.
In spite of my tears
Regardless of the tears, there's no remorse.
Who wouldn't believe those lips
Expressing belief in the sincerity of your lips.
Who wouldn't believe those eyes
Expressing belief in the sincerity of your eyes.
The night that you told me
Reiterating the night of the confession of small lies.
Those little white lies
Reiterating the acknowledgment of telling small, innocent lies.
I try, but there's no forgetting
Despite efforts, the night is unforgettable.
When evenin' appears
The evening brings back memories once again.
I sigh but there's no regretting
Sighing, but no feeling of regret despite tears.
In spite of my tears
Despite tears, there's no remorse.
The Devil was in your heart
Referring to a deceptive or mischievous aspect of your heart.
But Heaven was in your eyes
Your eyes had a heavenly, enchanting quality once again.
The night that you told me
Repeating the night of the confession of small lies.
Those little white lies
Reiterating the acknowledgment of telling small, innocent lies.
Those lies
Highlighting the nature of the lies as small or insignificant.
Teeny-weeny little white lies
