Rimes emerged with her first single, "Blue," when she was just thirteen years old in 1996. She is most recognized for her crossover hit "How Do I Live" which, according to the Billboard charts, is one of the most successful songs in American music history, spending 69 weeks on the Hot 100 chart, which currently stands as the second longest run in the chart's history (behind Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours"). Read Full BioMargaret LeAnn Rimes (born August 28, 1982, in Jackson, Mississippi) is a popular American country and pop music singer.
Rimes emerged with her first single, "Blue," when she was just thirteen years old in 1996. She is most recognized for her crossover hit "How Do I Live" which, according to the Billboard charts, is one of the most successful songs in American music history, spending 69 weeks on the Hot 100 chart, which currently stands as the second longest run in the chart's history (behind Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours"). While country singer Trisha Yearwood's version of the song won a Grammy in 1998, Rimes' version outsold Yearwood's by millions of copies. Rimes' other notable songs include "Can't Fight the Moonlight" and "You're the right kind of wrong" (from the movie Coyote Ugly) and American Idol favorite "I Need You."
She has won an American Music Award, two Grammy Awards, three Academy of Country Music Awards, and four Billboard Music Awards.
Rimes was chosen to sing the theme song "Light the Fire Within" for the February 8, 2002, Opening Ceremony of the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.
On February 23, 2002, she married Dean Sheremet, a dancer whom she met while recording Twisted Angel. They currently live in Nashville, Tennessee.
In 2005, LeAnn was selected to become the new host of the USA Network reality tv series Nashville Star, a position she held for only one season. She also was selected to sing "Remember When," the official song for Disneyland's 50th anniversary celebration.
On January 25, 2005, Rimes released a new album called This Woman. Although it has been met with mixed reviews, This Woman is a comeback of sorts for Rimes. With sales over 600,000, this is Rimes best-selling album since her self-titled album in 1999. In terms of the singles released, this is her most successful album since her debut nearly 10 years ago. "Nothin' 'Bout Love Makes Sense" reached the Top 5 and became her biggest years on the country charts in years. "Probably Wouldn't Be This Way," a song about a woman trying to get over a lost love, was released as a single. The video for "Probably Wouldn't Be This Way" was very dark, and the song was received well in the country music world. When "Something's Gotta Give" reached the #2 spot in June 2006, it became her biggest country hit since "One Way Ticket (Because I Can)", her sole number one hit 10 years ago.
Rimes co-wrote four songs off This Woman: "Something's Gotta Give," "I Got It Bad," "When This Woman Loves a Man," and "Afraid to Fall."
"I Got it Bad" was co-written with her husband Dean Sheremet.
On Saturday, September 3, 2005, Rimes performed a concert, on a three-hour special on Larry King Live, as a benefit for those affected in the Gulf Coast by Hurricane Katrina. As a Mississippian, she said that Hurricane Katrina "hit close to home." Just days before the hurricane, she had performed in Biloxi, Mississippi.
On January 4, 2006, Rimes performed the National Anthem before the Rose Bowl championship game between the USC Trojans and the Texas Longhorns in Pasadena, California.
On June 6, 2006, LeAnn released a new album in Europe called Whatever We Wanna.
The new album presents a pop-oriented sound; the first single released was "And It Feels Like." The album did not receive a US release.
In March 2009, LeAnn became the first country crossover artist to top the Billboard Club Play list when remixes for "What I Cannot Change" topped this dance chart. Prior to LeAnn's accomplishment, the highest charting song by a country artist on this dance survey had been the #2 peak of Reba McEntire's remixed remake of "You Keep Me Hangin' On."

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 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

"Can't Fight the Moonlight" by LeAnn Rimes is a song about falling in love under the magical feeling of starlight. The lyrics describe a scenario where the singer is with their lover, and it feels like they are the only two people in the world. They advise their partner that they cannot resist their feelings for each other, as the moonlight will steal their heart tonight. This romantic ballad draws inspiration from the idea that love is unstoppable, and the universe has its ways of bringing people together.
The opening verse sets the stage for the song, with the singer describing the scene of being under the starry sky with their lover, with no one else around. They tempt their partner that if they think they won't fall for them, they should wait until the sun goes down, and they are under the enchanting spell of the moonlight. The second verse talks about the inevitable nature of love and how no one can escape it, no matter how hard they try. Lastly, the chorus reiterates that the moonlight steals hearts and that there's no escaping the intensity of love.
The song's theme revolves around falling in love, and the overall tone of the song is romantic, making it a popular choice for weddings and romantic events. "Can't Fight the Moonlight" also reflects on the idea that love knows no bounds and that it can overcome any obstacle.

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

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

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

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.
