By The Light Of The Silvery Moon
Jimmy Bowen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

By, by, by the light
Of the silvery moon
I want to croon
With my baby, I'll croon
Love's old sweet tune

Honeymoon
Keep on shining in June
Love's silvery beams
Will bring love's dreams
We'll be cuddling soon
By the silvery moon

By, by, by the light
Of the silvery moon
I want to croon
With my honey, I'll croon
Love's old sweet tune

Honeymoon
Keep on shining in June
Love's silvery beams
Will bring love's dreams




We'll be cuddling soon
By the silvery moon

Overall Meaning

The song "By the Light of the Silvery Moon" is a romantic tune that evokes feelings of love and nostalgia. The lyrics describe a couple who wants to spend time together under the light of the silvery moon. The singer wants to "croon" with his baby, a term that suggests that he wants to sing softly and intimately to her. He describes love as an "old sweet tune" that they will be singing together. The word "croon" is used again when he refers to his "honey," adding to the romantic sentiment of the song.


The song then shifts to talk about honeymoon and the way that the silvery beams of the moon will bring love's dreams. The couple will be "cuddling soon," enjoying each other's company on a warm summer night. The repetition of the phrase "By the silvery moon" binds the song together, reminding us of the gentle, romantic setting that the couple is enjoying.
