Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On Blueberry Hill when I found you
The moon stood still on Blueberry Hill
And lingered until my dreams came true
(The wind in the willow played
Love's sweet melody
But all of those vows we made
Though we're apart, you're part of me still
For you were my thrill on Blueberry Hill
(I found my thrill)
Come climb the hill with me, baby
(on Blueberry Hill)
We'll see what we shall see
(on Blueberry Hill)
I'll bring my horn with me
(when I found you)
I'll be wit' you where berries are blue
(the moon stood still)
Each afternoon we'll go
(on Blueberry Hill)
Higher than the moon we'll go
(and lingered until)
Then, to a weddin' in June we'll go
(my dreams came true)
Ba-ba-da-de-buzz-buzz va-de-n-da-day
The wind in the willow played (do you really love me)
Love's sweet melody (as I love you?)
But all of those vows we made (will you still remember)
Were never to be (when the night is through?)
Though we're apart, you're part of me still
For you were my thrill on Blueberry Hill

Do you really love me
Questioning the sincerity of love
As I love you?
Wondering if their love is reciprocated
Will you still remember
Asking if the other person will remember them in the future
When the night is through?
Wondering if they will still be together in the morning
Though we're apart, you're part of me still
Even though we are separated, you are still an integral part of me
For you were my thrill on Blueberry Hill
You are the source of my happiness and excitement on Blueberry Hill

I love this piece of music history from all three of them, Louis Armstrong, Fats Domino and Elvis Presley. Since I love Blueberry’s, I will be releasing my instrumental cover version with harmonica and french horns on my channel in the next few days.
