Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It fills me with longing for you;
Am I taking too much for granted,
Wond'ring if you miss me too?
Tho' we said "goodbye," when the moon is high,
Does your heart beat for me?
I wonder if I still linger
When you hear my name, is the thrill the same
as it once used to be?
When you're lonesome, my sweetheart,
Does your heart beat for me.
Tho' we said "goodbye," when the moon is high,
Does your heart beat for me?
I wonder if I still linger
In your memory.
When you hear my name, is the thrill the same
as it once used to be?
When you're lonesome, my sweetheart,
Does your heart beat for me.

Is the moonlight tonight enchanted
Is the beauty of the moonlight tonight captivating and mesmerizing, filling my heart with an intense longing for you
It fills me with longing for you
The enchanting moonlight tonight stirs deep emotions within me, causing me to yearn for you
Am I taking too much for granted
Is it presumptuous of me to hope that you also long for me, despite us having said goodbye
Wond'ring if you miss me too
I am curious whether you also experience the same sense of loss and longing that I feel
Tho' we said "goodbye," when the moon is high, Does your heart beat for me?
Despite the fact that we parted ways, I am still hopeful that when we gaze upon the same beautiful moon, you too are filled with thoughts and feelings of me
I wonder if I still linger In your memory
I am uncertain if the memories of our time together still linger in your mind and heart
When you hear my name, is the thrill the same as it once used to be?
When you recall my name, do you still feel the same excitement and anticipation as you did when we were together
When you're lonesome, my sweetheart, Does your heart beat for me.
When loneliness creeps in, do you also yearn for me, my dear
