Meet You At The Moon
May Imelda Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're lookin' at the same moon
Though we're miles apart

We're wishin' on the same star
When you're deep in my heart

I don't know if you know
But when we miss each other so
Look up
I'll meet you at the moon

We're starin' at the same sky
Strangers it seems
We're sittin' on the same earth
Though there's oceans between

I don't know if you know
But when we miss each other so
Look up
I'll meet you at the moon

Mm I'm part of you
And your part of me
But it's a cold old world
When your missin' somebody

With out you
I wouldn't couldn't be
So when your heart is achin'
And it can't take much more breaking

We're lookin' at the same moon
Though we're miles apart
We're wishin' on the same start
When your deep in my heart

I don't know if you know
But when we miss each other so




Look up
I'll meet you at the moon

Overall Meaning

The song "Meet You At The Moon" by May Imelda is a beautiful tribute to the power of love and connection even when distance separates us. The lyrics express the notion that two people can be physically apart but still share a deep emotional bond. The opening lines "We're lookin' at the same moon/Though we're miles apart/We're wishin' on the same star/When you're deep in my heart" show that the two people in the song may be separated by distance, but they still have something that unites them - a shared experience of wishing on a star and looking at the same moon.


The chorus of the song - "I don't know if you know/But when we miss each other so/Look up/I'll meet you at the moon" - is particularly poignant as it emphasizes the idea that even when we can't physically be with someone we love, we can still feel their presence if we look up and see the same moon. The bridge of the song says, "Mm I'm part of you/And your part of me/But it's a cold old world/When your missin' somebody," which emphasizes that the two people are connected in a deep and meaningful way, even if they are physically apart.


Overall, the song is a reflection on the power and endurance of love - even when two people are physically separated, their emotional connection can transcend distance and time. It's a reminder to cherish the connections we have with the people we love, even when we can't physically be together.

Easy Listening

Imelda handles this song beautifully. She could sing the great standards from the jazz/pop repertory and truly make them her own and completely authentic. She's a wonderful artist.

This my wedding song. My husband and I were in the military at the time and in different locations at the time, so this was fitting at the time for us.
