Meet Me by the Moonlight
Moonlit Love's Bittersweet Tale: A Heart's Sacrifice
Lyrics
Meet me by the moonlight love meet me
Expressing a desire to meet the loved one under the moonlight.
Meet me by the moonlight alone alone
Reiterating the plea to meet under the moonlight, emphasizing solitude.
I have a sad story to tell you
Indicating the speaker has a sorrowful narrative to share.
All down by the moonlight alone
Setting the scene for the sad story, alluding to moonlight as a backdrop.
I've always loved you my darling
Professing enduring love for the darling.
You said I've never been true
Recalling an accusation of unfaithfulness from the darling.
I'd do anything just to please you
Expressing a willingness to go to any extent to please the beloved.
I'd die any day just for you
Stating a readiness to sacrifice and die for the beloved.
I have a ship on the ocean
Introducing a ship metaphorically associated with wealth.
All lined with silver and gold
Describing the ship adorned with silver and gold.
And before my little darling shall suffer
Declaring a commitment to prevent the darling's suffering at any cost.
I'll have the ship anchored and sold
Expressing a determination to sell the ship to protect the beloved.
If I had wings like an angel
Imagining having wings like an angel for freedom.
Over these prison walls I would fly
Contemplating escaping prison walls with angelic wings.
I'd fly to the arms of my darling
Desiring to reunite with the darling's arms despite obstacles.
And there I'd be willing to die
Expressing a willingness to face death in the embrace of the beloved.
