Midnight In Moscow
Kenny Ball & His Jazzmen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not a rustling sound
Softly shines the moon clear and bright
Dear, if you could know
How I treasure so
This most beautiful Moscow Night
Lazily the brook like a silvery stream
And a song afar fades as in a dream
In this night that will end too soon
Yes a song afar fades as in a dream
In this night that will end too soon
Dearest, why so sad, why the downcast eyes
And your lovely head bent so low
Oh, I mustn't speak, though I'd love to say
That you've stolen my heart away
Promise me my love, as the dawn appears
And the darkness turns into light
That you'll cherish dear, through the passing years
This most beautiful Moscow Night
Say you'll cherish dear through the passing years
This most beautiful Moscow Night

The singer notices the sadness in their dear one and questions the reason behind the downcast eyes and the lovely head bent low.

Stillness in the grove
Peaceful silence surrounds the area
Not a rustling sound
There is no sound of any leaves or branches moving
Softly shines the moon clear and bright
The moon is shining softly with a clear and bright light
Dear, if you could know
If you only knew, my love
How I treasure so
How much I value this moment
This most beautiful Moscow Night
This stunning night in Moscow
Lazily the brook like a silvery stream
The brook is flowing slowly and calmly like a stream of pure silver
Ripples in the light of the moon
Small waves can be seen reflecting the moonlight
And a song afar fades as in a dream
The sound of a distant song slowly fades, as if in a dream
In this night that will end too soon
The night will be over before we know it
Dearest, why so sad, why the downcast eyes
My love, why do you appear so unhappy? Why are you looking down?
And your lovely head bent so low
Your beautiful head is lowered down
Oh, I mustn't speak, though I'd love to say
I shouldn't say anything, even though I want to express myself
That you've stolen my heart away
You have captured my heart completely
Promise me my love, as the dawn appears
Promise me, my dear, when the sun rises
And the darkness turns into light
When the darkness gives way to light
That you'll cherish dear, through the passing years
That you will treasure this moment for years to come
This most beautiful Moscow Night
This stunning night in Moscow
Say you'll cherish dear through the passing years
Promise to treasure this moment forever
This most beautiful Moscow Night
This stunning night in Moscow
