No Moon At All
Ames Brothers Lyrics

No moon at all, what a night
The absence of the moon in the sky on this particular night makes it especially unique and special.

Even lightnin' bugs have dimmed their lights
The darkness is so profound that even the typically bright lightning bugs have become less visible.

Stars have disappeared from sight
The sky is so dark that even the stars have vanished from view.

And there's no moon at all
Reemphasizing the initial absence of the moon in the sky and the unique quality of the evening.

Don't make a sound, it's so dark
The darkness creates an atmosphere of quiet, and any sounds made feel amplified and potentially dangerous.

Even Fido is afraid to bark
The darkness is so intimidating that even a normally alert and protective dog is frightened.

What a perfect chance to park
This isolated and dark environment is the ideal opportunity for a couple to stop and park their car.

And there's no moon at all
Again, highlighting the absence of the moon and the unique atmosphere that creates.

Should we want atmosphere for inspiration, dear
If the couple desires an environment that inspires them and enhances their romantic mood,

One kiss will make it clear
A single kiss can create the ambiance they seek without the interference of bright moonlight.

That tonight is right and bright moonlight might interfere
A bright moon might detract from the couple's sense of intimacy and passion, so the darkness is ideal.

No moon at all way up above
Once again, noting the absence of the moon and how it differs from expectations.

This is nothin' like they told us of
The evening's atmosphere is surprising and differs from what the couple was told to expect.

Just to think we fell in love
Despite the unexpected nature of the evening's atmosphere, the couple still fell in love.

And there's no moon at all
Final repetition of the central motif that has defined the song from the outset.

Aww, there's no moon at all
Expresses a feeling of disappointment that there is no moon in the sky, but also notes the uniqueness of the atmosphere created as a result.

There is no moon at all
Final confirmation that this evening's sky is devoid of the moon's presence.
