Old Devil Moon
Karen Francis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Something in your eyes I see
Soon begins bewitching me
It's that old devil moon
That you stole from the skies
It's that old devil moon in your eyes
You and you glance make this romance
Stars in the night
Blazing their light
Can't hold a candle
To your razzle-dazzle
You've got me flyin' high and wide
On a magic carpet ride
Full of butterflies inside
Wanna cry, wanna croon
Wanna laugh like a loon
It's that old devil moon in your eyes
Just when I think
I'm free as a dove
Old devil moon
Deep in your eyes
Blinds me with love

Line by Line Meaning
I look at you and suddenly
As soon as I glance at you
Something in your eyes I see
There's an unmistakable expression in your eyes
Soon begins bewitching me
Immediately captivating and casting a spell on me
It's that old devil moon
The enchanting and irresistible moon
That you stole from the skies
The moon that you somehow acquired from the heavens
It's that old devil moon in your eyes
Its influence continues to shine through your eyes
You and you glance make this romance
Our connection, intensified by your frequent and meaningful glances
Too hot to handle
The passion is at its peak and almost overwhelming
Stars in the night
The twinkling and peaceful stars of the sky
Blazing their light
Unable to match the brightness of your presence
Can't hold a candle
Clearly inferior when compared with you
To your razzle-dazzle
The charming and attractive quality you possess
You've got me flyin' high and wide
I feel an exhilarating sensation, beyond my control
On a magic carpet ride
As though I'm floating through an enchanting journey
Full of butterflies inside
An intense fluttering feeling in my stomach
Wanna cry, wanna croon
Longing to shed tears or sing melodiously
Wanna laugh like a loon
An almost uncontrollable urge to laugh loudly
It's that old devil moon in your eyes
Your eyes continue to be the source of this irresistible longing
Just when I think
At the moment when I feel
I'm free as a dove
A sense of freedom from these irresistible feelings
Old devil moon
That captivating moon once again
Deep in your eyes
The cause of this insatiable feeling that still resides in your eyes
Blinds me with love
Leaves me absolutely vulnerable to the overwhelming emotions of love
