The World Belongs To Me
Carlos St. John Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You belong to somebody new
But Tonight you belong to me
Although (Although)
We're apart, your part of my heart
And tonight you belong to me
Way down by the stream
Once more just to dream
In the moonlight
My honey I know
With the dawn
That you will be gone
But tonight you belong to me
Way down way down along the stream
How very very sweet it will seem
Once more just to dream in the silvery moonlight
My honey I know
With the dawn, that you will be gone
But tonight you belong to me
Just to little old me
The lyrics to Carlos St. John's song, "The World Belongs To Me" speaks to a feeling that many people can relate to - the desire to make someone yours for just one night, despite knowing that they belong to someone else. The lyrics express a bittersweet sentiment: the knowledge that the moment is fleeting, but the memory will last forever. The repetition of the phrase "Tonight you belong to me" emphasizes the urgency and importance of this fleeting moment, while the acknowledgment that the lover will be gone with the dawn suggests that this romance is doomed from the start.
The imagery used is also worth noting. The setting of the stream and moonlight are both romantic and intimate, and the dreamy tone of the lyrics suggests a longing for a simpler, happier time. The singer knows that he can't have what he wants, but he still captures the moment and holds onto it tightly. The lyrics are particularly powerful because they speak to the universal human experience of desire and heartbreak, showcasing the beauty of poetic lyrics when done right.

My honey I know
My dear, I am aware
With the dawn
As the morning comes

You will have left by then
But tonight you belong to me
In this moment, I want you to be mine
Way down way down along the stream
In a remote location by the water
How very very sweet it will seem
It will be incredibly pleasing
Once more just to dream in the silvery moonlight
To have the opportunity to fantasize again under the light of the moon
Just to little old me
For no one else but me
