Fausto Papetti Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It must have been moonglow that led me straight to you
I still hear you sayin', "Dear one, hold me fast"
And I keep on prayin', "Oh Lord, please let this last"
We seemed to float right through the air
Heavenly songs seemed to come from everywhere
I'll always remember, that moonglow gave me you
It must have been moonglow, way up in the blue
It must have been moonglow that led me straight to you
I still hear you sayin', "Sweet child, hold me fast"
And I keep on prayin', "Oh Lord, please let this last"
We seemed to float right through the air
Heavenly songs seemed to come from everywhere
And now when there's moonglow, way up in the blue
I'll always remember, that moonglow gave me you

The first two lines suggest that the moon’s mystical light was what brought these two people together. The lyrics then describe how the other person holds the singer tightly and they hope that the moment lasts forever. The image of floating through the air and heavenly songs adds to the mystical nature of the moment. The final lines indicate that whenever the singer looks at the moon, they will be reminded of this moment.
The lyrics highlight how the moon can be a powerful symbol of love and mystery, while also evoking a sense of timeless and eternal beauty. It’s possible that the lyrics allude to the idea that the moon has a kind of magic that can bring people together and create a moment of intimacy and beauty that is lasting and powerful.
