Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Through years of endless springs
The murmur of a brook at eventide
That ripples through a nook where two lovers hide
That great symphonic theme
That's Stella by starlight
And not a dream
She's everything on this earth to me
That great symphonic theme
That's Stella by starlight
And not a dream
My heart and i agree
She's everything on this earth to me

Einstein's original equation was E=Miles Davis Squared, but he had to scrap it because, of course, Miles was never square.
