Moonlight
Ray Jessel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Brings back that first night long ago
Were we two people on the brink of a new life?
Or did just moonlight make us think it was true love
We wondered would love stay
Well the answer's clear as day now
We're still together and still so much in love
Love, all my love every day you become more dear
You are my moonlight and you are my shining star
And where's my sunlight
It's only where you are
Our love's forever
And each night will forever be filled with moonlight
Now, kiss me now, kiss me now with moonlight kisses
Come, hold me close, hold me close as you held me that first night
Hold me tight, hold me tight, let me know what bliss is
Love, we found love, let's make love
Where the moonlight casts its spell
Until the moon beams very well
'Til the birds sing their song to say day is dawning
'Til the sun drives the night away and its morning
Come love me, hold me fast
Let our love be everlasting
Ever shining, ever glowing
Ever moonlight love
Moonlight love
Shivering moonlight love
The song "Moonlight" by Ray Jessel is a romantic ballad that reflects on the enduring nature of love. The opening lines of the song describe the moonlight on the snow, which brings back memories of a couple's first night together. Jessel sings about the uncertainty that they felt at the beginning of their relationship, wondering if they were truly meant to be together. However, as time passed, their love for each other grew stronger and more secure. The lyrics express the idea that true love endures, and that the couple's love will continue to shine like moonlight for eternity.
The chorus of the song is particularly poignant, as it emphasizes the depth of love that the couple shares. Jessel sings about his partner being his "moonlight" and his "shining star," and how he can only find happiness in her presence. The couple's love is "forever," and each night they spend together is filled with moonlight. The second half of the song is a call to action for the couple to indulge in their love for each other, to hold each other close and experience the bliss of being together. Jessel's smooth and soothing voice lends an air of timelessness to the song, making it a perfect romantic ballad that will surely stand the test of time.
