How High the Moon
Unveiling Love's Celestial Harmony in Ray Anthony's Melody
Lyrics
Somewhere there's music
Somewhere there is music
How faint the tune
Describing the faintness of the musical tune
Somewhere there's heaven
Suggesting the existence of a heavenly place
How high the moon
Expressing the height or intensity of the moon, possibly symbolizing a pinnacle or ideal
There is no moon above
Highlighting the absence of the moon
When love is far away too
Connecting the lack of the moon to love being distant
Till it comes true
Anticipating a realization or fulfillment of love
That you love me as I love you
Expressing mutual love between two individuals
Somewhere there's music
Reiteration of the presence of music somewhere
How near, how far
Describing the proximity or distance of the music
Somewhere there's heaven
Repeating the idea of a heavenly place, possibly tied to the person's location
It's where you are
Stating that heaven is where the person is
The darkest night would shine
Using metaphor to convey that even the darkest night would be brightened by the person's presence
If you would come to me soon
Expressing eagerness for the person to come soon
Until you will, how still my heart
Reflecting on the stillness of the heart until the person arrives
How high the moon
Reiterating the height or intensity of the moon, possibly emphasizing the importance of the person's arrival
Somewhere there's music
Repetition of the theme of music existing somewhere
How faint the tune
Reiterating the faintness of the musical tune
Somewhere there's heaven
Repeating the idea of a heavenly place and the intensity of the moon
How high the moon
Reiterating the connection between a heavenly place and the intensity of the moon
The darkest night would shine
Repeating the metaphor that even the darkest night would be brightened by the person's presence
If you would come to me soon
Expressing eagerness for the person to come soon (similar to line 15)
Until you will, how still my heart
Reflecting on the continued stillness of the heart until the person arrives (similar to line 16)
How high the moon
Concluding with the emphasis on the height or intensity of the moon
