Honey Honey
Perry Como Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Moon shinin' bright, up in the sky,
Looks down on me and I know why,
Even the stars up in the blue,
Seem to be shining for no one but you!

Honey, honey, bless your heart,
You're the "honey" that I love so well!
I'd die for you, if you'd only be true,
You're the "honey" that I love so well"

I'd die for you, if you'd only be true,
You're the "honey" that I love so well"

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Perry Como's song, Honey Honey, paint a picture of a lover gazing up at the moon and stars, knowing that they shine solely for the person they love, the "honey" in their life. The lyrics convey a sense of infatuation and devotion to this person, with the singer going as far as to declare that they would die for them. At the same time, the lyrics also convey a hint of insecurity and a longing for the person to reciprocate the same level of love and devotion.


The choice of celestial imagery in the lyrics is particularly powerful, as the moon and stars are often associated with romance and eternal love. The singer is essentially saying that the whole world seems to revolve around their beloved, and that there is nothing they wouldn't do for them. However, the song also suggests that the love is unrequited, or at least, uncertain, as the singer pleads for their "honey" to be true to them.


In all, Honey Honey is a classic love song that captures both the ecstasy and the agony of being in love, with lyrics that are both romantic and vulnerable.
