How High the Moon
Reeves Dianne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How faint the tune
Somewhere there's heaven
How high the moon
There is no moon above
When love is far away too
Until it comes true
That you love me as I love you
Somewhere there's music
It's where you are
Somewhere there's heaven
How near, how far
The darkest night would shine
If you would come to me soon
Until you will, how still my heart
How high the moon
Somewhere there's music
How faint the tune
Somewhere there's heaven
How high the moon
There is no moon above
When love is far away too
Until it comes true
That you love me as I love you
Somewhere there's music
It's where you are
Somewhere there's heaven
How near, how far
The darkest night would shine
If you would come to me soon
Until you will, how still my heart
How high the moon
Somewhere there's music
How faint the tune
Somewhere there's heaven
How high the moon
There is no moon above
When love is far away too
Until it comes true
That you love me as I love you
Somewhere there's music
It's where you are
Somewhere there's heaven
How near, how far
The darkest night would shine
If you would come to me soon
Until you will, how still my heart
How high the moon
Somewhere there's music
How faint the tune
Somewhere there's heaven
How high the moon
There is no moon above
When love is far away too
Until it comes true
That you love me as I love you
Somewhere there's music
It's where you are
Somewhere there's heaven
How near, how far
The darkest night would shine
If you would come to me soon
Until you will, how still my heart
How high the moon yeah
The lyrics to "How High the Moon" by Reeves Dianne convey the idea that love can transport one to a different world, a heavenly place where music is faintly heard and the moon is higher than one can imagine. The opening lines introduce the concept that there is music playing somewhere, though it may be barely audible. The next line goes on to suggest that heaven can also be found in some corner of the universe, but it is unreachable, and therefore it seems incomprehensibly high. The first verse ends by stating that when one's love is not reciprocated, the moon itself seems to have disappeared as well.
The second verse picks up where the first leaves off, with the revelation that music is heard where the beloved is. Here the heavens are either very near or extremely far away, depending on the distance between the two lovers. The third and final verse brings the song back to the beginning, repeating the opening lines, as if to emphasize that the high moon and faint music are just out of reach until the love is returned.
Overall, "How High the Moon" is a song that portrays the idea of love as a transformative experience that can change the entire universe, and take one to another dimension altogether. The lyrics are poetic and romantic, expressing the depth of emotion that one can feel when they are in love.

Does it reach out to mars
Though the words maybe wrong to this song
We're askin' how high high high high is the moon
