Moonlight
Sophie Milman Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm sure it is bright
But you left so early that morning

It's known for it's light
It's not very far
Come back to me
For the moonlight

It's so dangerous here
Love takes my time
Love makes me worry

But it ain't so far
To where you are
We still can meet

In the moonlight
In the moonlight

Overall Meaning

Sophie Milman's song "Moonlight" is an emotive and beautifully sung track, with tender and poignant lyrics. It conveys the pain and longing that one feels when they are separated from the person they love. The song begins with the singer lamenting the fact that her lover left so early in the morning, presumably to go somewhere far away. She ponders the brightness of the moon and how it shines even though her lover is gone. She speaks of the moonlight being known for its light and warmth, and how she wishes her lover would come back to her in that light.

The next verse speaks of the singer's emotions and fears. She is worried and anxious about the absence of her lover, and how she is afraid for them in a dangerous world. But she also expresses hope, saying that it is not too far to where they are, and that they can still meet in the moonlight. The chorus repeats the longing and desire for the moonlight to bring her lover back to her.

I'm sure it is bright
I know the moon is shining bright

But you left so early that morning
You left before the moon was visible in the sky

It's known for it's light
The moon is famous for its brightness

It's not very far
The moon is not very distant

Come back to me
Return to my side

For the moonlight
So we can be together under the moonlight

It's so dangerous here
This place is fraught with danger

Love takes my time
My love for you takes up all my time

Love makes me worry
I worry about the safety of our love

But it ain't so far
The distance between us is not too great

To where you are
To be where you are
