The Coney Island Waltz
Andrew Lloyd Webber Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Glistening and glimmering
Rising bright
Drenched in light
See it smile
Beckoning and shimmering
All a-gleam
Like a dream
Summer rising by the sea
Wonders and astonishments for your delectation
Phantoms and automatons for your fascination
Marvels undreamt since the dawn of creation
Coney isle miracle on miracle
See the sound burning round
Mile by mile
Loud and lewd and lyrical
Dream on dream never seen
Welcome one and welcome all
Welcome to the master's hall
Welcome to the
Welcome to the
Welcome to the
The lyrics of The Coney Island Waltz depict the vivid and lively energy that one experiences while visiting Coney Island. The singer describes it as "Glistening and glimmering", "Rising bright", and "Drenched in light". The lyrics paint a picture of Coney Island smiling and beckoning the visitors with all its glory. The singer talks about the wondrous and astonishing sights and sounds that one experiences at Coney Island, from "Phantoms and automatons" to "Marvels undreamt since the dawn of creation". This creates an atmosphere of magic and limitless possibilities, where every fantasy is set free, and every dream comes true.
The last few lines of the lyrics welcome everyone to the master's hall. This can be seen as an invitation to join in and become part of the magic of Coney Island. The phrase "Welcome to the" is repeated thrice, perhaps indicating the abundance of experiences and emotions that Coney Island has to offer, and how it welcomes everyone with open arms.
