Silently
莫文蔚 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm missing you,
I'm feeling blue,
In the night.

With starry skies,
and starry eyes,
Shining bright
Walking in your sleep
With love you come to me.
Silently...

Silently you come away
Won't you stay another day?
Silently you run away
Forever and ever
How silently you took my love away.

I'll be waiting... (echo)
I'll be praying... (echo)
For the day...

When you will learn (echo)
And will return (echo)
For always.

Talking in your sleep.
Of love you sing to me.
Heavenly...

Silently you come away
Won't you stay another day?
Silently you run away




Forever and ever
How silently you took my love away.

Line by Line Meaning

I'm missing you,
I am feeling a deep longing for you,


I'm feeling blue,
I am overwhelmed with sadness,


In the night.
Especially during the quiet time of the day when I am alone with my thoughts,


With starry skies,
As the sky is decorated with innumerable, twinkling stars,


and starry eyes,
And my eyes are wet with tears that gleam in the light,


Shining bright
Reflecting my emotions as they radiate at their peak


Walking in your sleep
As you are not completely aware of your actions or feelings,


With love you come to me.
But in your subconscious, you come to me with feelings of endearment,


Silently...
Without any noise, without any disturbance,


Silently you come away
You leave without making any noise,


Won't you stay another day?
I request you to stay with me a little longer, in my loneliness,


Silently you run away
In the same hushed manner, you run away from my life,


Forever and ever
Leaving me to suffer eternally,


How silently you took my love away.
You broke my heart without making any noise, without any explanation,


I'll be waiting...(echo)
I'll still be here, waiting for your return,


I'll be praying...(echo)
I'll keep praying that you come back to me,


For the day...
For that one day when we'll be together again,


When you will learn (echo)
When you'll realize the mistake you made and come back to me,


And will return (echo)
And come back to my life,


For always.
To stay with me, to love me unconditionally till the end of time,


Talking in your sleep.
In your dreams, you speak and reveal your true feelings,


Of love you sing to me.
You sing about your love for me, in your dreams,


Heavenly...
As if your dreams are taking you to heaven,


Silently you come away
Quietly leaving once again


Won't you stay another day?
Yet, I beg you to stay and keep me from being lonely,


Silently you run away
But again, you leave without any sound,


Forever and ever
Damn you forever and always for giving me this agony,


How silently you took my love away.
Because it was then I realized you took my love away – without any noise.
