A Starry Night
Francesca Castro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You looked at me too
When we gaze upon a starry night
I can see your eyes
Dancing in the skies
When we gaze upon a starry night
And with you I would much rather see
All the wonderful things to be found
When you're not looking straight to the ground
When the sunlight dies
It is no surprise
You will always be here in my heart
When we gaze upon a starry night
Francesca Castro's "A Starry Night" talks about the beauty of the night sky and how it brings people together. In the first two lines, the artist talks about an exchange of glances between two individuals, which creates a connection. The following lines explicitly relate to the night sky and how both parties gaze upon it. The third line emphasizes that there is no other place that they would rather be than with each other under the starry night.
The fourth line refers to the eyes of the other person shining as bright as the stars that are observing. This particular line deems essential as it signifies that the other person is just as beautiful and awe-inspiring as the night sky. In the stanza's final line, the singer emphasizes the importance of experience all the wonders around them instead of just looking straight to the ground.
The last stanza's first line mentions the end of sunlight, which sets the stage for nightfall, and the appearance of the starry night. The next line talks about the person being present in their heart, signifying a deep emotional connection, and it is not just about the physical presence. The last two lines talk about how a starry night brings people closer together, almost like it binds them within the same expanse of the sky, which further emphasizes the importance of this particular night.

When I looked at you
As I gazed at you
You looked at me too
You returned my gaze
When we gaze upon a starry night
As we admire the majestic stars above
I can see your eyes
I see the reflection of the stars in your beautiful eyes
Dancing in the skies
As if they are dancing in the sky above us
There is no place that I'd rather be
I couldn't imagine being anywhere else
And with you I would much rather see
Especially with you by my side
All the wonderful things to be found
All the incredible sights and experiences that await us
When you're not looking straight to the ground
If you look up instead of down at the world beneath us
When the sunlight dies
As the bright sun sets
It is no surprise
I always know
You will always be here in my heart
That you will forever have a place in my heart
When we gaze upon a starry night
As we gaze upon the beautiful, star-filled sky
