Can't Fight the Moonlight
LeAnn Rimes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning

Under a lovers' sky
Gonna be with you
And no one's gonna be around
If you think that you won't fall
Well, just wait until
'Til the sun goes down

Underneath the starlight, starlight
There's a magical feeling, so right
It'll steal your heart tonight

You can try to resist
Try to hide from my kiss
But you know
But you know that you can't fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark
You'll surrender your heart
But you know
But you know that you can't fight the moonlight
No (no), you can't fight it
It's gonna get to your heart

There's no escape from love
Once a gentle breeze (once a gentle breeze)
Weaves its spell upon your heart
No matter what you think
It won't be too long (not too long)
'Til you're in my arms
Underneath the starlight, starlight
We'll be lost in the rhythm, so right
Feel it steal your heart tonight

You can try to resist
Try to hide from my kiss
But you know
But you know that you can't fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark
You'll surrender your heart
But you know
But you know that you cant, can't fight the moonlight
No (no), you can't fight it (no)
No (no) matter what you do (no matter what you do)
The night is gonna get to you

Don't try
You're never gonna win, oh

Underneath the starlight, starlight
There's a magical feeling, so right
It will steal your heart tonight

You can try to resist (you can try)
Try to hide from my kiss
But you know
But you know that you can't fight the moonlight (you know that you)
Deep in the dark (deep in the dark)
You'll surrender your heart
But you know
But you know that you can't fight the moonlight
No, you can't fight it

You can try to resist (you can try to resist my kiss)
Try to hide from my kiss
But you know
(Don't you know that you can't) can't fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark
You'll surrender your heart (surrender your heart)
But you know
But you know that you can't fight the moonlight
No, you can't fight it
It's gonna get to your heart

Normu pipita

Bajo el cielo de un amante
Estaré contigo
Y nadie estará cerca
Si crees que no caerás
Bueno, solo espera hasta que se ponga
el sol
Debajo de la luz de las estrellas, la luz de las estrellas
hay un sentimiento mágico tan correcto
que te robará el corazón esta noche.
Puedes intentar resistir
Intentar esconderte de mi beso
Pero sabes, pero sabes que no
puedes luchar contra la luz de la luna En lo
profundo de la oscuridad, entregarás tu corazón
Pero sabes, pero sabes que no
puedes luchar la luz de la luna, no, no
puedes luchar contra ella
, va a llegar a tu corazón
No hay escapatoria al amor
Una vez que la suave brisa
Teje su hechizo sobre tu corazón
No importa lo que pienses
No pasará mucho tiempo (no demasiado tiempo)
Hasta que estés en mis brazos
Debajo de la luz de las estrellas, luz de las estrellas
Nos perderemos en el ritmo, así que bien
Siente que te roba el corazón esta noche
Puedes intentar resistir
Intentar esconderte de mi beso
Pero sabes, pero sabes que no
puedes luchar contra la luz de la luna En lo
profundo de la oscuridad, entregarás tu corazón
Pero sabes, pero sabes que no
puedes luchar la luz de la luna, no
No puedes luchar
No importa lo que hagas
La noche te alcanzará
No lo intentes, nunca vas a ganar, oh
Debajo de la luz de las estrellas, la luz de las estrellas
hay un sentimiento mágico, tan cierto
que te robará el corazón esta noche.
Puedes tratar de resistir, tratar de esconderte de mi beso
Pero sabes, pero sabes que no
puedes luchar contra la luz de la luna En lo
profundo de la oscuridad, entregarás tu corazón
Pero sabes, pero sabes que no
puedes lucha contra la luz de la luna
No, no puedes luchar contra ella
Puedes tratar de resistir, tratar de esconderte de mi beso
Pero sabes, no sabes que no puedes No
puedes luchar contra la luz de la luna En lo
profundo de la oscuridad, entregarás tu corazón
Pero sabes, pero sabes que no
puedes luchar contra la luz de la luna
No, no puedes luchar contra ella
Va a llegar a tu corazón

This songs reminds me of this girl I sat next to in English class. She use to sing it all the time and loved this film. She was absolutely amazing and maybe the most beautiful and genuine person I’ve ever met in my life. But I never had the balls to ask her out or even to just hang out away from school
When I was older and more confident, I thought I’d go looking for her through social media. About 5 years after We left I found out she died from leukaemia. Really suddenly, 2 weeks after being diagnosed
Every now and then, I come to this song just to remember her voice singing the chorus through English class and all the life we had ahead of us

Chis Roxana

Honestly I came here to cry over The Nostalgia but this is better.

Cassandra Müller

I'm only 25 but... it's already a quarter of a century. So many things I wish I'd done differently already, so many chances I wish I'd taken... In the end you just go on and try to take the chances you know you're gonna regret if you don't. Kinda really feel your comment even though this is not like any experience I've had.
It's nice that you remember her though. It means something. A part of her youth and all the possibilities lives on with your memory.

My condolences.
