Come Over
Ben Ft. Lloyd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every beam brings a dream, dear, of you
Once again we'll stroll 'neath the mountain
Through that rose-covered valley we knew
Each day is grey and dreary
But the night is bright and cheery
When the moon comes over the mountain
The first verse of "Come Over" is actually a reference to a 1931 song titled "When the Moon Comes over the Mountain" by Harry Woods, Kate Smith, and Howard Johnson. This song is a classic and has been covered by many artists throughout the years. In Ben ft. Lloyd's interpretation of the song, they use the lyrics to set a melancholy tone as the singer reminisces about a past love. The moon brings memories of the person back to the forefront of the singer's mind, causing them to long for them once again.
The second verse adds to the tone established in the first. The days are "grey and dreary," which suggests that the singer is experiencing some sort of emotional turmoil. However, the arrival of the moonlight offers a glimmer of hope for the singer. They can escape into their memories of the past and relive happier times. The overall atmosphere of the song is sad, but it also shows that the singer is holding onto hope and finding comfort in their memories.

When the moon comes over the mountain
When the night sky is filled with glowing celestial bodies
Every beam brings a dream, dear, of you
Each ray of light that bounces off the moon reminds me of you
Once again we'll stroll 'neath the mountain
We will walk together under the mountain's mighty shadow
Through that rose-covered valley we knew
We will venture through the cherished valley adorned with beautiful flowers and plants that we remember fondly
Each day is grey and dreary
Daytime is a monotonous, boring period composed of indistinguishable routines
But the night is bright and cheery
The darkness of night is vibrant and lively
When the moon comes over the mountain
When the moon rises over the mountaintop
I'll be alone with my memories of you
I will be isolated, reflecting on my memories of you
