Blueberry Hill
Glenn Miller And His Orchestra & Ray Eberle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On Blueberry Hill when I found you
The moon stood still on Blueberry Hill
And lingered until my dreams came true
(The wind in the willow played
Love's sweet melody
But all of those vows we made
Though we're apart, you're part of me still
For you were my thrill on Blueberry Hill
(I found my thrill)
Come climb the hill with me, baby
(On Blueberry Hill)
We'll see what we shall see
(On Blueberry Hill)
I'll bring my horn with me
(When I found you)
I'll be wit' you where berries are blue
(The moon stood still)
Each afternoon we'll go
(On Blueberry Hill)
Higher than the moon we'll go
(And lingered until)
Then, to a weddin' in June we'll go
(My dreams came true)
Ba-ba-da-de-buzz-buzz va-de-n-da-day
The wind in the willow played (Do you really love me)
Love's sweet melody (As I love you)
But all of those vows we made (Will you still remember)
Were never to be (When the night is through)
Though we're apart, you're part of me still
For you were my thrill on Blueberry Hill
The song "Blueberry Hill" is a classic love song written by Vincent Rose, with lyrics by Larry Stock and Al Lewis. The song was first recorded by Gene Autry, but it was the version by Fats Domino that became famous. Glenn Miller's version of the song was released after his death in 1944 and became a hit, solidifying the song's place as a classic of American popular music.
The opening lines of the song, "I found my thrill on Blueberry Hill", describe the feeling of finding love and happiness in unexpected places. The line "On Blueberry Hill when I found you" suggests that the singer has found the person they love on a physical location, but that location is not as important as the feeling of being in love. The line "The moon stood still on Blueberry Hill" creates a romantic atmosphere, suggesting the magic of falling in love can make everything else fade into the background. The final lines of the song, "For you were my thrill on Blueberry Hill", summarize the song's theme of finding happiness in love.
The lyrics also include a contrast between the sweet sounds of love and the reality of heartbreak. The lines "The wind in the willow played love's sweet melody / But all of those vows we made were never to be" suggest that the promises made in love are not always fulfilled, and that even when love is at its sweetest, it can still end in disappointment.

It was on Blueberry Hill that I met you and fell in love
The moon stood still on Blueberry Hill
The atmosphere was so perfect and special that even the moon seemed to pause and admire it
And lingered until my dreams came true
The moon stayed in its position until I achieved the thing I wanted most: true love
Though we're apart, you're part of me still
Even though we're physically separated now, emotionally and mentally, you're still a huge part of my life
For you were my thrill on Blueberry Hill
It was because of you that I found true happiness and joy on that hill that day, and you continue to be a source of joy for me
Come climb the hill with me, baby
Let's go back to Blueberry Hill together and relive that magical moment
We'll see what we shall see
Let's see if we can recreate the same atmosphere and experience from last time
I'll bring my horn with me

Ba-ba-da-de-buzz-buzz va-de-n-da-day
Nonsensical words meant to convey a feeling of joy and excitement
The wind in the willow played
Nature itself contributed to the special atmosphere and beauty of Blueberry Hill
Love's sweet melody
The love between the artist and their partner was a beautiful and sweet thing
But all of those vows we made
Despite our promises to each other, things didn't quite turn out the way we anticipated
Were never to be
Our promises went unfulfilled or unattained

@eustace8520
I love the old gramophones but I just can't trust them to play my records lol
@RyanSmith-yf4cv
@Eustace as long as you're using the correct record for it, it'll be good. I have a vintage record player for 78s and as long as I'm using correct 78s I've never had a problem with it damaging them.
@GavinLepley
@@RyanSmith-yf4cv I hear that some people buy special adapters to play 78s on modern record players. They attach a pulley that plays it at 78 revolutions per minute.
