Grammar:

• Will you stay with me, will you be my love

  ➔ Modal verb "will" for asking a question about future intention.

  ➔ This line uses the modal verb "will" to politely ask if the other person intends to stay and be the speaker's love. The structure is "Will + subject + verb...?".

• As the days get longer?

  ➔ Subordinating conjunction "as" indicating a time relationship/cause and effect

  ➔ Here, "as" means "while" or "during the time that". It indicates that something happens concurrently with the days getting longer. The verb "get" describes a change in condition.

• Let's keep dreamin'

  ➔ Imperative sentence with "let's" suggesting an action. Gerund "dreamin'" after the verb "keep".

  ➔ "Let's" is a contraction of "let us". It is used to make a suggestion, inviting someone to do something together. The verb "keep" is followed by a gerund ("dreamin'"). "Keep + gerund" means to continue doing something.

• Dreamin' as the sun goes down

  ➔ Present participle "Dreamin'" acting as a reduced adverbial clause indicating time. Subordinating conjunction "as" indicating simultaneity

  ➔ This line could be rewritten as "While we are dreaming, the sun goes down". The present participle "Dreamin'" is used to shorten the adverbial clause of time. "As" indicates that dreaming happens at the same time the sun sets.

• Stars are dancin'

  ➔ Present continuous tense to describe an action happening now.

  ➔ The present continuous ("are dancin'") describes an action that is in progress at the moment of speaking/singing. It creates a sense of liveliness and dynamism.

• Even in the silence

  ➔ Preposition "in" indicating a state or condition.

  ➔ The preposition "in" is used to specify the context or environment, which is "silence" in this case. "Even in" emphasizes that something happens *despite* the silence.

• I can hear your voice through all of the noise

  ➔ Modal verb "can" expressing ability. Preposition "through" indicating movement or passage.

  ➔ "Can hear" expresses the speaker's ability to hear the other person's voice. "Through" means 'in spite of' or 'amidst'. It conveys that the voice is audible even when there is noise.

• I will stay with you, I will be your love

  ➔ Future simple tense with "will" expressing a promise or intention.

  ➔ "Will stay" and "will be" express the speaker's commitment and future actions. "Will" is used here to make a promise.
