Goodnight Moon
Boogie Belgique Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When first I saw the love-light in your eyes
When you were sweet
And even though we drifted far apart
When you were sweet
When you were sweet

When first I saw the love-light in your eyes
When you were sweet
And even though we drifted far apart




When you were sweet
When you were sweet Sixteen.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Boogie Belgique's song 'Goodnight Moon' begins with the lines "When first I saw the love-light in your eyes, When you were sweet, And even though we drifted far apart, When you were sweet, When you were sweet." These lyrics are about reminiscing the moments from the past when the singer first saw the love-light in his lover's eyes. The love-light, here, symbolizes the true love and bond that they shared, which is why the singer refers to the lover as 'sweet.' The use of the repetition of the phrase "When you were sweet" emphasizes how their relationship was pure and innocent at the beginning. The lyrics indicate that even though they have drifted apart, they still remember the sweet and loving moments that they shared together.


The last line of this verse, "When you were sweet sixteen," reinforces the idea of innocence and young love that the singer is trying to convey. The age of sixteen is a time when one is considered to be at the peak of their adolescence, filled with vibrant emotions and experiences, and their first crushes and romances. Therefore, using the age of sixteen in this song enhances the listeners' visualization of their first love and the emotions felt during the time.


Overall, the lyrics suggest that the singer went through a lot of changes and has grown up since his first love. However, the sweet memories of his past love continue to reside within him, leaving a mark on his soul.


Line by Line Meaning

When first I saw the love-light in your eyes
I remember the exact moment I fell in love with you, when I saw a spark in your eyes that conveyed affection towards me.


When you were sweet
At that time, you were kind, compassionate and loving towards me.


And even though we drifted far apart
Although over time we grew emotionally distant and were no longer as close as we once were.


When you were sweet
When you were that affectionate and caring person I fell in love with.


When you were sweet Sixteen.
That was when we were young, and everything felt perfect, like we had our whole lives ahead of us. But even though we've grown and changed, I still remember that person you were and the love we shared back then.

Lyrics

When first I saw the love-light in your eyes
When you were sweet
And even though we drifted far apart
When you were sweet
When you were sweet

When first I saw the love-light in your eyes
When you were sweet
And even though we drifted far apart
When you were sweet
When you were sweet Sixteen.

I started to love this genre some time ago and I enjoy it more and more, it seems it has everything, pretty melodies, beautiful voices, the best instruments (trumpet <3) and a rhythm, so it's energetic and nostalgic at the same time, so great:)
