Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And all my daydreams have gone astray
I think about the one and only
Who's bound to find me some golden day
The one I love is coming along some day
And I'll have none except the one I love
He/She may be near or ever so far away
And though our meeting is left to chance
Until our meeting
I still will have my dream romance
And through the night I pray to the moon above
To please be kind and find the one I love

Line by Line Meaning
When days are long and nights are lonely
During times of hardship and solitude,
And all my daydreams have gone astray
When all my hopes and fantasies have been disrupted,
I think about the one and only
I reflect upon the unique and special person in my life,
Who's bound to find me some golden day
Who is destined to discover me on a fortunate occasion,
The one I love is coming along some day
The person I deeply care for will arrive in my life at some point in the future,
And I'll have none except the one I love
And I won't settle for anyone except the person I love,
He/She may be near or ever so far away
Regardless of whether they are close to me or distant,
But I'll have none except the one I love
I won't accept anyone else as my partner except the person I love,
And though our meeting is left to chance
Even though the possibility of us meeting depends on luck,
Until our meeting
Until the time we finally meet,
I still will have my dream romance
I will continue to cherish my idealistic vision of a romantic relationship,
And through the night I pray to the moon above
During the nighttime, I earnestly beseech the moon in the sky,
To please be kind and find the one I love
Requesting the moon's benevolence in helping me discover the person I love
