Still Still Still
101 Strings Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As I gaze out of my window
At the moon in it's flight
My thoughts all stray, stray to you
In the still of the night
While the world lies in slumber
Oh the times without number
Do you love me
Just like I love you
Are you my life to be
That dream come true
Or will this dream of mine
Will it fade way out of sight
Just like that moon growing dim
Way out on the rim of the hill
In the still of the night
The song "In the Still of the Night" by the 101 Strings Orchestra is a beautiful ode to the quiet moments of the night when the world lies in slumber. The opening lines paint a vivid picture of the singer gazing out of their window at the moon as it makes its flight across the sky. The quiet of the night is the perfect time for the singer's thoughts to wander, and they can't help but think of a special someone.
As the song continues, we learn that the singer's thoughts always seem to stray to this person in the still of the night. They wonder if this person feels the same way about them, if they love them just as much. The singer's hope is that this person is the one meant to be in their life and make their dreams come true. However, there is also a sense of insecurity, as the singer fears that this dream may fade away, just as the moon grows dim in the night sky.
The melody of the song is lulling and evocative, and the lyrics capture the delicate balance of hope and fear that comes with falling in love. The sense of yearning conveyed by the lyrics is palpable, as is the vulnerability of the singer.

In the still of the night
During the quiet hours of the night
As I gaze out of my window
While looking through my window
At the moon in it's flight
Observing the movement of the moon
My thoughts all stray, stray to you
My mind wanders to thoughts of you
While the world lies in slumber
While the rest of the world is asleep
Oh the times without number
So many times in the past
When I say to you
Whenever I speak to you
Do you love me
Do you have strong feelings for me
Just like I love you
As deeply as I feel for you
Are you my life to be
Will you be the center of my life
That dream come true
The one dream that could be fulfilled
Or will this dream of mine
Or will this hope of mine
Will it fade way out of sight
Gradually disappear into oblivion
Just like that moon growing dim
Just like that moon losing its brightness
Way out on the rim of the hill
Far in the distance, at the edge of the horizon
In the still of the night
During the quiet hours of the night
