1 By Meah and Morgan

2 My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun; Coral is far more red than her lips' red; If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun; If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head. I have seen roses damask'd, red and white, But no such roses see I in her cheeks; And in some perfumes is there more delight Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks. I love to hear her speak, yet well I know That music hath a far more pleasing sound; I grant I never saw a goddess go; My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground: And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare As any she belied with false compare. Shakespeare refers to his mistress with wire hair and pale cheeks and lips. But, at the end he says, “And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare as any she belied with false compare.” This means that he believes that his mistress is as beautiful as any other woman. MY MISTRESS’ EYES ARE NOTHING LIKE THE SUN

3 Sister moon will be my guide In your blue blue shadows I would hide All good people asleep tonight I'm all by myself in your silver light I would gaze at your face the whole night through I'd go out of my mind, but for you Lying in a mother's arms The primal root of a woman's charms I'm a stranger to the sun My eyes are too weak How cold is a heart When it's warmth that he seeks? You watch every night, you don't care what I do I'd go out of my mind, but for you My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun My hunger for her explains everything I've done To howl at the moon the whole night through And they really don't care if I do I'd go out of my mind, but for you Sister Moon SISTER MOON The singer was trying to interpret the same thing as Shakespeare when he was saying, ‘My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun’. He was referencing to sonnet 130 by Shakespeare. He uses it to convey a better meaning than just saying that ‘I love her’.
