The Sun And The Moon
Annalise Emerick Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The sun has been up for hours
And the moon I can see up there too
And you're still following Greenland
But me I'm just looking at you
I used to be so scared and I'd sing about terrible things but you
You make it so easy
Your love gave me my wings
Cause you are the sun and I am the moon
You shine so bright and I like the night
Baby we fit together just right
You are the sun and I am your moon

And I don't care about corny cause baby we waited for this
And the days will never be long enough no matter how much I wish
And of course the day will be perfect
This much I know to be true
And baby you can bring on
Come shine
It's just me and you

Cause you are the sun and I am the moon
You shine so bright and I like night
And baby we fit together just right
You are the sun and I am your moon
You shine so bright and I like the night
Baby we fit together just right
You are the sun and I am your moon

The day will come to an end
But we love the night too




The sun it never quite sets
It always waits for you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Annalise Emerick's song The Sun and the Moon convey a sense of contentment and satisfaction in a romantic relationship. The imagery of the sun and the moon is used to symbolize the two lovers – the sun representing one partner who is outgoing and shining brightly, and the moon representing the other partner who is quieter and prefers the night. The singer explains how she used to be scared and sing about terrible things, but her partner has given her the confidence she needs to fly (hence "Your love gave me my wings"). The couple "fit together just right" and even though the day will come to an end, they love the night too.


The chorus, "You are the sun and I am the moon / You shine so bright and I like the night," is particularly poignant as it shows how the two individuals complement each other. Even though they have different personalities and lifestyles, they are perfect for each other. The lines "And of course the day will be perfect / This much I know to be true" show the singer's confidence in the relationship and their future together. The song ends with the reassuring line, "The sun it never quite sets / It always waits for you," implying that the couple will always find each other no matter what.
