In the Glow of Love: City Lights and Longing
Lyrics
These city lights will never shine
Expressing that the city lights will never outshine a person's eyes, emphasizing their significance.
Brighter than your eyes
Highlighting the brightness and allure of the person's eyes in comparison to city lights.
They light up my life
Describing how the person's presence illuminates and brings meaning to the singer's life.
Close your eyes tonight and kiss your last goodbye
Suggesting a farewell, encouraging the listener to close their eyes and say their last goodbye.
Set it sailing
Metaphorically letting go of something, possibly a relationship or a moment.
Into the night
Describing the departure into the unknown, symbolized by "the night."
Past the day
Moving beyond the confines of the day, embracing the possibilities of the night.
So far from here
Expressing distance, both physical and emotional, from the current situation.
Maybe then
Speculating about the possibility of disappearing, seeking a fresh start or escape.
We could disappear
Continuing the theme of potential escape or renewal, despite uncertainties.
But I

Need you right now

Oh I love you so
Reaffirming deep love and affection for the person mentioned.
All the lights they shine
Observing the lights around, possibly symbolizing other aspects of life or people.
As they pass me by
Reflecting on passing moments and experiences as represented by shining lights.
I'll float to tomorrow
Looking forward to the future, anticipating a journey or progression.
All through the night
Expressing a continuous longing or yearning throughout the night.
I miss your smile
Expressing a sense of nostalgia and missing the positive aspects of the person.
Your laugh your love
Enumerating specific qualities of the person that are missed.
I can't find my way
Feeling lost and unable to find direction without the person's presence.
Maybe someday
Expressing hope for a future reunion or resolution, albeit uncertain ("Maybe someday").
But I
Reiterating the immediate need for the person despite the uncertainties.
Need you right now
Reaffirming the urgency of needing the person right at the moment.
Oh I loved you so
