Shadows In The Moonlight
Anne Murray Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We'll be shadows in the moonlight
Darlin' I'll meet you at midnight
Hand and hand, we'll go
Dancin' through the Milky Way

And we'll find a little hideaway
Where we can love the whole night away
We'll be shadows in the moonlight
Right up 'til the light of day

Ooh, the night is young
And baby, so are we
Glad, I'm gonna make you glad you came

Ooh, you won't need a thing
Just bring your love for me
And darlin', I will do the same

We'll be shadows in the moonlight (shadows in the moonlight)
Darlin', I'll meet you at midnight
Hand and hand, we'll go
Dancin' through the Milky Way

Ooh, you won't need a thing
Just bring your love for me
You'll be glad you came
Just wait and see (wait and see)

We'll be shadows in the moonlight (shadows in the moonlight)
Darlin', I'll meet you at midnight
Hand and hand, we'll go
Dancin' through the Milky Way

And we'll find a little hideaway (find a little hideaway)
Where we can love the whole night away




We'll be shadows in the moonlight
Right up 'til the light of day
