Under The Man In The Moon
Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You put your heart on the line
Every time after time and then you lose
But I'd never seen the stars shinning in your eyes
Now it's all very clear what is happening here to night
It's only me and you
Counting stars up above
And falling in love
Like we're meant to do
It's only me and you
Under the man in the moon
So let's start with a kiss
And make every little with come true
I never thought that I'd be the lucky one
With everything I've been through
I find some body like you to share my love
It's only me and you
Oh-o the man in the moon
(the man in the moon)
Oh-o the man in the moon
The man in the moon
The man in the moon
It's only me and you
It's only me and you
The song "Under The Man In The Moon" by Engelbert Humperdinck speaks about discovering love unexpectedly and understanding that it is not a game, as one had earlier thought. The opening lines state, "I always thought that love was a game for fools / You put your heart on the line / Every time after time and then you lose," indicating that the singer had cynicism about love in the past. However, the lyrics then shift towards discovering newfound love and the realization that it was all they needed. The lines "But I'd never seen the stars shining in your eyes / Now it's all very clear what is happening here tonight" show the gradual change of the singer's perception of love.
The chorus "It's only me and you / Under the man in the moon / Counting stars up above / And falling in love / Like we're meant to do" emphasizes the exclusivity of the moment, where the only two people who exist in the world are the singer and their lover, and how they are experiencing an enchanting moment. The phrase "Counting stars up above / And falling in love / Like we're meant to do" is a powerful metaphor that suggests the two individuals are following an essential path marked by the universe. The final lines of the song "It's only me and you" repeats the idea of exclusivity and emphasizes that true love exists between only those interested individuals.
