Moonlight Lady
Julio Iglesias Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There were beggars and kings
In a magical sky
There were wings in the air
And I learned how to fly
There was me, there was you
In a world made for two, then you were gone

Moonlight lady
Come along with me
To the bright city lights
It's all right, 'cause tonight's on me
Moonlight lady
Come along with me
To the bright city lights
It's all right, 'cause tonight's on me

She was satin and lace on the beach
And her beauty was there to inspire
She was loving the night in the grasp
Of a soft lit fire

Moonlight lady
Come along with me
To the bright city lights
It's all right, 'cause tonight's on me
Moonlight lady
Come along with me
To the bright city lights
It's all right, 'cause tonight's on me

Every night is so empty without you
I'm so lonely since you went away
If by chance we could dance to the music
Let it play
Let me say

Moonlight lady
Come along with me
To the bright city lights
It's all right, 'cause tonight's on me
Moonlight lady
Come along with me
To the bright city lights
It's all right, 'cause tonight's on me

Seems it never rains in southern California
To the bright city lights
It's all right, 'cause tonight's on me

It never rains in California
But girl don't they warn ya
To the bright city lights
It's all right, 'cause tonight's on me

Seems it never rains in Southern California
To the bright city lights
It's all right, 'cause tonight's on me

It never rains in California
But girl don't they warn ya
To the bright city lights
It's all right, 'cause tonight's on me

It never rains in California

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Julio Iglesias's song Moonlight Lady describe a magical world, where beggars and kings coexist under a magical sky, and the singer and his lover fly with wings in the air. However, this perfect world is short-lived since his lover leaves him, and the singer becomes lonely, yearning for her presence. He invites her to join him in the bright city lights, where tonight he will take responsibility for making her happy. Throughout the song, the singer describes the beauty of his lover, her inspiration, and her effect on him. The chorus repeats an invitation to join him in a magical world, where nothing is impossible, and everything is alright because tonight's on him.


The song brings back the essence of the '70s, with its poetic and dreamy lyrics that describe a fantasy world, where lovers can fly, and the only limit is their imagination. It reflects the desire for adventure, freedom, and new experiences that characterized that era. The lyrics also touch on the theme of loneliness and the search for meaning and companionship in life. They remind us that sometimes, we need to escape reality and embrace a magical world to find true happiness.


Line by Line Meaning

There were beggars and kings In a magical sky There were wings in the air And I learned how to fly There was me, there was you In a world made for two, then you were gone
In a whimsical setting, I found myself with both the oppressed and the wealthy. I witnessed unbelievable things like wings in flight and taught myself how to soar. It was just the two of us in a world that was made for us to exist together until you vanished.


Moonlight lady Come along with me To the bright city lights It's all right, 'cause tonight's on me Moonlight lady Come along with me To the bright city lights It's all right, 'cause tonight's on me
Oh, lovely moonlight lady, please join me on a journey to the dazzling urban areas. It's my treat tonight, so there is no need to worry. Let's go and have some fun!


She was satin and lace on the beach And her beauty was there to inspire She was loving the night in the grasp Of a soft lit fire
She was a mesmerizing sight as she lounged on the sand wearing luxurious satin and lace. Her dazzling looks were truly inspiring. She was enjoying the night in front of a gentle fire, held by its warmth and softness.


Every night is so empty without you I'm so lonely since you went away If by chance we could dance to the music Let it play Let me say
Every night feels pointless without you by my side. I am filled with loneliness, having lost you. And yet, if miraculously, we could dance together again, with music in the background, let it play. Let me offer a few words.


Seems it never rains in southern California To the bright city lights It's all right, 'cause tonight's on me It never rains in California But girl don't they warn ya To the bright city lights It's all right, 'cause tonight's on me Seems it never rains in Southern California To the bright city lights It's all right, 'cause tonight's on me It never rains in California But girl don't they warn ya To the bright city lights It's all right, 'cause tonight's on me It never rains in California
It seems to be endlessly sunny in Southern California, with no rain to dampen its bright city lights. But girl, don't be misled, they say California doesn't always stay dry. But despite that, let's continue to explore the glittering city lights tonight, I'll cover the bill.

My Mom listened to this album nonstop for two years back in the day. At 10 I wouldn’t admit to liking it. At 45 I love it. RIP Mom. You’re missed.
