Moonlight in Vermont
Stan Getz / Astrud Gilberto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Falling leaves a sycamore
Moonlight in Vermont
Gentle finger waves
Ski trails down a mountain side
Snowlight in Vermont
As they travel each bend in the road
And when people meet, in this romantic setting
They're so hypnotized be the lovely...
Evening summer breeze
Sweet warblings of the meadowlark
Moonlight in Vermont
The lyrics to Moonlight In Vermont by Stan Getz describe the natural beauty of Vermont at different times of the year. The opening lines, "Pennies in a stream" and "Falling leaves a sycamore," evoke the image of a peaceful, serene countryside setting where even small details like a stream or falling leaves can bring joy. Later, the lyrics mention ski trails down a mountainside and a sweet summer breeze, highlighting how Vermont has something to offer in every season. The Moonlight in Vermont becomes the unifying image throughout the piece, as it creates a sense of tranquility and awe that unites all of the different elements. The description of "Telegraph cables, how they sing down the highway" adds a touch of modernity, but the song ultimately pays tribute to the rustic coziness of Vermont's natural landscape.
