In The Still Of The Night
Matt Monro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As I gaze from my window
At the Moon in its flight
My thoughts all stray to you
In the still of the night
While the world is in slumber
Oh, the times without number
Do you love me as I love you
Are you my life to be, my dream come true
Or will this dream of mine fade out of sight
Like the Moon growing dim on the rim of the hill
In the chill, still of the night
The first verse of the song "In The Still Of The Night" by Matt Monro talks about a person who is standing near the window late at night admiring the moon in the sky. The silence of the night makes the person's mind wander towards the person they love. It reflects how even in the quietness of the night, the thoughts of the loved one never fade away. The person's mind is often filled with thoughts about their loved one and the lyrics invites the loved one to reciprocate their feelings.
The second verse talks about how the world is often asleep at night while the person is wide awake, thinking and dreaming about their loved one. The times spent with the loved one are countless, and the person often asks if the loved one reciprocates their love, and if they are destined to be together. The lyrics further imply that the dream of being with the loved one is real, and it should not fade away like the moonlight on the rim of the hill.
Overall, the lyrics of the song express the deep emotions and desires that a person feels for their loved one, even in the stillness of the night.

In the still of the night
During the quietness and calm of the night
As I gaze from my window
As I look out of my window
At the Moon in its flight
Watching the movement of the Moon
My thoughts all stray to you
All my thoughts drift to thinking of you
While the world is in slumber
While the world around is fast asleep
Oh, the times without number
Countless times
Darling, when I say to you
When I express my feelings to you
Do you love me as I love you
Do you have the same intense feelings of love for me, as I do for you.
Are you my life to be, my dream come true
Are you the person I've always wished for and hoped to spend my life with?
Or will this dream of mine fade out of sight
Will my hope and dream to be with you eventually disappear?
Like the moon growing dim on the rim of the hill
Just as the brightness of the moon fades as it touches the hills, will my dream fade and disappear?
In the chill, still of the night
During the coldness and calming of the night
