Misty
Daniel Michaels and His Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look at me, I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree;
And I feel like I'm clingin' to a cloud,
I can' t understand
I get misty, just holding your hand.
Walk my way,
And a thousand violins begin to play,
Or it might be the sound of your hello,
That music I hear,
I get misty, the moment you're near.
Can't you see that you're leading me on?
And it's just what I want you to do,
Don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost
That's why I'm following you.
On my own,
When I wander through this wonderland alone,
Never knowing my right foot from my left
My hat from my glove
I'm too misty, and too much in love.




Too misty,
And too much in love

Overall Meaning

The song "Misty" by Daniel Michaels and His Orchestra is a romantic ballad that expresses the feelings of helplessness, cloudiness, and mistiness that the singer feels when he is around the person he loves. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who is completely entranced by the object of their affection and struggles to make sense of their feelings. They feel like a helpless kitten up a tree, clinging to a cloud, completely lost in their own emotions.


When the person they love walks towards them, they feel like a thousand violins begin to play, or perhaps it is just the sound of their hello that is so enchanting. Regardless, the music is a perfect reflection of the emotions that the singer feels, and every time they are near the object of their affection, they get misty, completely lost in their feelings.


The singer also acknowledges that the person they love is leading them on, but it is exactly what they want them to do. They are hopelessly lost, following their loved one around, and unable to control their feelings. They are too misty, and too much in love to be able to function on their own. This is a beautiful and romantic song that perfectly captures the feeling of being in love.


Line by Line Meaning

Look at me, I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree;
I am lost and trapped like a kitten stuck on a tree, needing your help to come down.


And I feel like I'm clingin' to a cloud,
My emotions are floating and unsteady, like holding onto a cloud in the sky.


I can' t understand
I am confused and overwhelmed by my feelings for you.


I get misty, just holding your hand.
Being close to you fills me with a hazy sense of excitement and love.


Walk my way,
Come towards me, meet me where I am.


And a thousand violins begin to play,
In my heart, I hear a grand symphony of joy and affection when I see you.


Or it might be the sound of your hello,
Even the simplest greeting from you causes my heart to flutter.


That music I hear,
The melody inside me when I'm with you is beautiful and sweet.


I get misty, the moment you're near.
Being close to you causes a mysterious and enchanting sensation inside me.


Can't you see that you're leading me on?
I am entranced by your allure and feel like you are intentionally captivating me.


And it's just what I want you to do,
Despite feeling like you have me under your spell, I want to be charmed by you even more.


Don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost
I am so caught up in my love for you that I am completely lost in it.


That's why I'm following you.
I am chasing after you because being near you brings me so much happiness.


On my own,
When I am alone.


When I wander through this wonderland alone,
As I explore the world by myself, it seems like a magical place to be.


Never knowing my right foot from my left
I am directionless and uncertain without you by my side.


My hat from my glove
Even simple things escape my notice and I feel lost without you.


I'm too misty, and too much in love.
My love for you is overwhelming and all-encompassing, filling me with a sense of ethereal joy.


Too misty,
Overwhelmed by my emotions and feelings for you.


And too much in love
My love for you is all-consuming and powerful.
