Lyrics

The night is like a lovely tune

The night is compared to a beautiful melody.

Beware my foolish heart

A warning about being cautious with emotions, particularly the heart.

How white the ever constant moon

Describing the moon's brightness and constancy.

Take care my foolish heart

A repetition of the warning to be careful with one's heart.


There's a line between love and fascination

Highlighting the difficulty in distinguishing between love and fascination.

That's hard to see on an evening such as this

Suggesting that the distinction is challenging, especially in the current evening setting.

For they both give the very same sensation

Both love and fascination evoke similar feelings.

When you're lost in the magic of a kiss

Emphasizing the enchantment of a kiss and the confusion it may bring.


Her lips are much too close to mine

Expressing the proximity of the speaker's and another person's lips.

Beware my foolish heart

A repeated warning about the potential risks of emotions.

But should our eager lips combine

Considering the possibility of lips meeting despite the warning.

Then let the fire start

If the lips do meet, it signifies the beginning of passionate feelings.


For this time it isn't fascination

Clarifying that the current experience is not mere fascination or a fleeting dream.

Or a dream that could fade and fall apart

Addressing the depth and authenticity of the emotions involved.

It's love, this time is love

A declaration that what the speaker is feeling is genuine love.

My foolish heart

A repetition, expressing that the emotions are indeed the speaker's foolish heart in love.


Oh, for this time it isn't fascination

Reiterating that the current experience is not mere fascination or a fleeting dream.

Or a dream that could fade and fall apart

Stating again that the emotions are genuine and not temporary.

It's love, this time is love

Affirming that what the speaker is feeling is true love.

My foolish heart

A final repetition, emphasizing that the emotions are the speaker's foolish heart in love.
