No Moon At All
Ames Brothers & Les Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Even lightnin' bugs have dimmed their lights
Stars have disappeared from sight
And there's no moon at all
Don't make a sound, it's so dark
Even Fido is afraid to bark
What a perfect chance to park
Should we want atmosphere for inspiration, dear
One kiss will make it clear
That tonight is right and bright moonlight might interfere
No moon at all way up above
This is nothin' like they told us of
Just to think we fell in love
And there's no moon at all
Should we want atmosphere for inspiration, dear
One kiss will make it clear
That tonight is right and bright moonlight might interfere
No moon at all up above
Aww, this is nothin' like they told us of
Just to think we fell in love
And there's no moon at all
Aww, there's no moon at all
There is no moon at all
No moon at all
The song "No Moon at All" by Ames Brothers & Les Brown describes a night without a moon, where even the lightning bugs have dimmed their lights and the stars have disappeared from sight. The darkness is so profound that even Fido is afraid to bark, making it a perfect chance to park. The absence of the moon creates an opportunity for a mysterious atmosphere, where one kiss in the dark is enough to confirm that the night is right and bright moonlight might interfere.
The lyrics suggest that the lack of a moon creates an ambiance of freedom and liberation, as there are no bounds or restrictions, and anything can happen in the darkness. It provides a sense of intimacy and privacy, where the lovers can explore each other's company without the fear of being seen or judged. The lyrics also convey that love can flourish without the need for external factors, such as the presence of the moon. Love can survive in any situation, even in the complete absence of light.
