Lyrics
The world is lyrical
The world is filled with song and poetry.
Because a miracle
This joyful feeling is like a miraculous gift.
Has brought my lover to me
The speaker's lover has been brought to them by fate or destiny.
Though he's some other place, his face I see
Even though the lover is physically distant, the speaker can see their face in their mind.
At night I creep in bed
During the night, the speaker lies awake in bed.
And never sleep in bed
The speaker cannot sleep because of the overwhelming joy.
But look above in the air
The speaker looks up into the air.
And to my greatest joy, my love is there
To their greatest joy, the image of their love is present.
He dances overhead
The lover seems to be dancing in the air above.
On the ceiling near my bed
Specifically, the lover dances on the ceiling near the speaker's bed.
In my sight
The speaker can see this delightful sight.
Through the night
This dancing continues throughout the night.
I try to hide in vain
The speaker tries to hide but in vain.
Underneath my counterpane
Even underneath the covers, the lover's image is present.
But there's my love
The speaker acknowledges the lover's presence above.
Up above
Despite efforts to hide, the love transcends physical barriers.
I whisper, "Go away, my lover
The speaker whispers for the lover to go away, expressing a sense of unfairness.
It's not fair"
The speaker acknowledges the paradox of wanting the lover to leave but being grateful for their presence.
But I'm so grateful to discover
Despite the initial request, the speaker is grateful to discover that the lover is still there.
He's still there
The lover's continued presence is a source of gratitude for the speaker.
I love my ceiling more
The speaker expresses a heightened love for their ceiling because it serves as a dance floor for the lover.
Since it is a dancing floor
The ceiling becomes more cherished as it becomes a symbolic dancing floor dedicated to the love.
Just for my love
The dancing on the ceiling is exclusively for the speaker's love, reinforcing the special connection.
