jackie and the starlighters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
maybe its the way that she's romantically attracted to the moon
maybe its the perfume that I know she doesn?t wear
or maybe its the way she dances when she thinks there aint nobody there
she loves me in the morning without warning before the sun begins to rise
and in the evening i can tell her feelings just by looking in her eyes
songbirds in the garden sing to her through frozen holidays
sugar, dandellion, honey, peach never did too much for me
cause I aint no cassanova and no i never ever tried to be
but something in her smile charms me like a child and then
she turns the thieves and outlaws into nothing less than perfect gentlemen
well the moon is in the mountains and the night is taking pictures of the sky
and i've got nothing for you, nothing but this simple lullabye
now should your mind forget me, regret me, or even do me wrong
you?ll always live here in my heart cause baby thats right where you belong
The song "Maybe" by Jackie and the Starlighters is a heartfelt and romantic tune about the singer's admiration for his lover. The lyrics suggest that the singer is captivated by his lover's unique qualities, whether it's the way she wears her hair down on a lazy Sunday afternoon, her fondness for the moon, or the way she dances when no one is watching. The singer also notes how his lover's presence brings him comfort, from the way she loves him in the morning before the sun even rises to the way she can express her feelings with just one look in her eyes.
The song also suggests that the singer is aware that their time together is limited, as they will eventually have to go their separate ways. Despite this, the singer still acknowledges how significant his lover is to him and how she has helped to shape him into a better person, inspiring him to be more chivalrous and gentlemanly towards others. The last verse suggests that the singer is content with just offering his words and his heart as a tribute to his lover, knowing that she will always hold a special place in his heart, even if they are no longer together.
