Moonlit Memories: Love's Eternal Glow
Lyrics
Everybody else has gone,
Expressing that everyone else has departed.
But you're still here with me.
Despite others leaving, the person being addressed is still present.
All the world is sleeping by and by.
Describing a tranquil world in slumber.
Through the windowpane
Reference to a window through which light is entering.
The frosted light is streaming in,
Imagery of light streaming in, possibly symbolizing clarity or revelation.
Full moon sailing high across the sky.
Describing a full moon in the night sky.
Tonight is like the night when we first met.
Comparing the current night to the one when they first met.
I always knew I never would forget you.
A firm belief that the memory of the person will never be forgotten.
Come and hold me close,
Inviting the person to come closer.
I miss you more than I can say.
Expressing intense longing and missing the person.
I can't remember how I pass the time (with you away),
A statement about difficulty passing time in the absence of the person.
Wondering if you'll ever know
Expressing curiosity if the person understands their importance.
How much you mean to me.
Expressing deep emotional connection and importance of the person.
I never dreamed there'd be a change of mind.
Surprise at unexpected changes in feelings or circumstances.
Lover, this is where I want to stay.
Expressing a desire to remain with the person.
Maybe it could always be this way.
Expressing a hope for a continuous positive state in the relationship.
I recall you said to me
Recalling advice given about staying true to oneself.
A long, long time ago,
A reference to a past conversation emphasizing self-direction.
?Don't you lose direction in the crowd (I think you could).?
Quoting advice about avoiding getting lost in a crowd.
But when I did you found me
Acknowledging that when lost, the person found and helped.
And I didn't even know.
Realizing the presence and understanding of the person.
I hardly even knew you were around and understood.
Reflecting on not fully comprehending the support received.
I was reaching out each moment to be free.
Describing a yearning for freedom and reaching out for it.
You were all those things I'd never be.
Acknowledging the person as embodying qualities one lacks.
Gentle music, rock away the sadnesses in me.
Introducing the concept of gentle music alleviating sadness.
Rock away my lonely yesterdays,
Extending the idea of music soothing past loneliness.
Like pennies on the ocean

'Til no trace of them I see,
Expressing a desire for traces of past troubles to disappear.
'Til moonlight shows no ripples on the waves.

And then the clear reflection will remain.

Perhaps the same reflection
Suggesting the enduring nature of the reflected image.
Of that same full moon.
