Big Dipper
Embracing Distance: Love Under the Stars
Lyrics
Goodnight my baby
Sending a farewell message to a loved one.
Goodnight my love
Reiterating the farewell and expressing affection.
Tonight we will look up
Anticipation of a shared experience of looking at the stars.
At the same stars above
Emphasizing a connection despite physical separation.
You lay down in the West
Describing the geographical separation during the night.
I lay down in the East
Highlighting personal locations during the night.
Goodnight my baby
Repeating the goodnight message, acknowledging the distance.
Through the miles inbetween
Acknowledging the miles between them.
But tonight I sing hey Big Dipper up in that sky
Expressing a desire to connect with the Big Dipper.
Looking down here on us every night
Recognizing the celestial presence watching over them.
While you're shining and making your rounds
Acknowledging the consistent shining of the Big Dipper.
Come pick me up and drop me down
Metaphorically asking for a celestial journey to the lover.
Into my lovers arms
Desiring an embrace with the lover.
Tonight
Emphasizing the immediacy of the desire.
Goodnight my baby
Repeating the goodnight message with affection.
You're the one I adore
Affirming the loved one's significance.
Right here in this moment
Expressing deep affection in the present moment.
I could not love you more
Stating the peak of current love for the recipient.
Goodnight my angel
Using endearment and saying goodnight temporarily.
Goodnight just for now
Acknowledging a brief separation.
Soon love I will lay
Anticipation of reuniting and laying down together.
I will lay your down
Committing to a future shared moment.
But tonight I sing hey Big Dipper up in that sky
Repeating the desire to connect with the Big Dipper.
Looking down here on us every night
Acknowledging the constant presence of the Big Dipper.
Hey Big Dipper I'm making my wish
Expressing a wish due to the challenges of separation.
'Cause Love should not have to be apart like this
Contemplating the difficulty of being apart in love.
And while you're shining and making your rounds
Reiterating the Big Dipper's consistent presence.
Come pick me up and drop me down
Metaphorically requesting a celestial journey to the lover.
Into my lovers arms tonight
Desiring an embrace with the lover, emphasizing urgency.
Into my lovers arms tonight
Repeating the desire for an immediate embrace.
Into my lovers arms
Emphasizing the immediacy of the desire for an embrace.
Tonight
Finalizing the night with a repeated goodnight message.
Goodnight my baby
Repeating the goodnight message with affection.
Goodnight my love
Reiterating love and bidding goodnight again.
Goodnight my baby
Final goodnight message, concluding the communication.
