Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As I gaze from my window
At the moon in its flight
My thoughts all stray to you
In the still of the night
While the world is in slumber
Oh, the times without number
Do you love me as I love you
Or you might lie to be my dream come true
Or will this dream of mine fade out of sight
Like the moon growing dim on the rim of the hill
In the chill still of the night
Do you love me as I love you
Or you might lie to be my dream come true
Or will this dream of mine fade out of sight
Like the moon growing dim on the rim of the hill
In the chill still of the night
The opening lines of Engelbert Humperdinck's song In the still of the night sets an atmospheric and romantic tone. The singer sets the scene, looking out of his window at the moon and thinking of his beloved, whose image takes over his thoughts. The use of the words "still of the night" and "world in slumber" conjures up an image of calmness and peacefulness, accentuating the singer's intense feelings for his love.
As the song continues, the singer wonders if his beloved shares his deep feelings or if he is just a dreamer. The lyrics "Or you might lie to be my dream come true" suggests that the singer is somewhat uncertain and perhaps even anxious about the love being shared. The repeated "Do you love me as I love you" emphasizes this desire for certainty and clarity.
The final lines of the song compares the fading moon to the singer's fading dream of being with his love. The use of the words "rim of the hill" and "chill still of the night" plays with the feelings of melancholy and sadness. The song ends abruptly, leaving the listener to wonder about the outcome of the singer's quest for love.
Overall, the song In the still of the night is a poignant and moving anthem to love and longing. The singer evokes powerful emotions and a sense of vulnerability in his questioning of the sincerity of his love. The use of poetic language and powerful imagery makes this song a classic.

In the still of the night
During the quiet hours of the night
As I gaze from my window
Looking out through my window
At the moon in its flight
Watching the moon move across the sky
My thoughts all stray to you
My mind wanders and thinks about you
While the world is in slumber
When everyone else is asleep
Oh, the times without number
So many times before
Darling, when I say to you
My love, when I ask you
Do you love me as I love you
Do you have the same feelings of love for me?
Or you might lie to be my dream come true
Or are you only pretending to love me to fulfill my desires?
Or will this dream of mine fade out of sight
Or will my hope for our love diminish over time?
Like the moon growing dim on the rim of the hill
Like the moon losing its brightness on the horizon
In the chill still of the night
During the cold and quiet night

Still
Lady, morning's just a moment away
And I'm without you once again
You laughed at me, you said you've never needed me
I wonder if you need me now
We played the games that people play
We made mistakes along the way
Somehow I know deep in my heart, you needed me
Remembering the pain, if I must say
It's deep in my mind and locked away
But then most of all, I do love you
Still
Those memories, times I'm sure we'll never forget
Those feelings we can't put aside
For what we had, sometimes I try to understand
But it's so heavy on my mind
So many dreams that flew away, so many words we didn't say
Two people lost in a storm, where did we go, where'd we go?
Lost what we both had found, you know we let each other down
But then most of all, I do love you
Still
We played the games that people play
We made mistakes along the way
Somehow I know deep in my heart, you needed me
Cause I needed you so desperately
We were too blind to see, but then
Most of all, I do love you
