Fred Ahlert Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Someone waits for me.
And the gold of her hair crowns the blue of her eyes,
Like a halo tenderly.
If only I could see her,
Oh, how happy I would be.
Where the blue of the night meets the gold of the day,
The lyrics to Fred Ahlert's "Where the Blue of the Night" speak of longing for a loved one, who waits at the place where the sky transitions from blue to gold - at sunrise or sunset, symbolizing both the end of an old day and the start of a new one. The imagery is quite powerful; when the blues and golds of the sky come together, so does the singer's love and happiness. The person they long for is depicted as having a golden halo from the sun, and blue eyes that match the color of the sky. This image suggests that the person waiting for the singer is a kind of angelic presence that brings light and hope into their world.
The last stanza portrays an image of yearning - the singer wishes they could see this person waiting for them at the meeting of daytime and nighttime. The lyrics are full of emotion, aspiration, and a sense of desire for something unattainable. While the meaning of the lyrics may be up for interpretation, it is clear that the words express a sense of unfulfilled longing and the desire to be reunited with someone special. Through these lyrics, we see the power that the natural world can have to influence our emotional state, as well as the longing for connection and companionship that every human being experiences at some point in their lives.
