Vegas Love
Donny & Marie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

That Mississippi moon is full tonight
And there's a million stars in that Delta sky
The crickets and the bull frogs are singing loud
I've got an Elvis CD turned down low
Singing love me tender as I pull you close
I got a crazy thought, now hear me out
I got money in my pocket and a full tank of gas
I know a Chapel with a preacher
That can get it done real fast

Let's spin the wheel, roll the dice
We can make tonight the night
Are you in the mood for a little Vegas love
It's in the cards, it's in our hands
I know we got the perfect plan
You feel like a little, a little Vegas love
Vegas love, oh yeah

Oh you are looking at me like I lost my mind
But I am ready to get off the fence tonight
The water looks warm and I feel like jumping in
That you've been talking to me about tying the knot
The time is right and I know the spot
It won't surprise our family or friends

We don't need a lot of money
Cause we got a lot of love
I'm not afraid to lay it all on the line, I'm betting all on us

Let's spin the wheel, roll the dice
We can make tonight the night
Are you in the mood for a little Vegas love
It's in the cards, it's in our hands
I know we got the perfect plan
You feel like a little, a little Vegas love

Well your mama's gonna cry and your daddy might be mad
But only till he figures out how he saved all that cash

Let's spin the wheel, roll the dice
We can make tonight the night
Are you in the mood for a little Vegas love
It's in the cards, it's in our hands




I know we got the perfect plan
You feel like a little, a little Vegas love

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Donny & Marie's song "Vegas Love" paint a picture of a spontaneous and romantic adventure for the couple mentioned in the song. The setting is described as a serene location in Mississippi, where the moon is full, and the stars are shining bright. Against the backdrop of crickets and bullfrogs singing, the singer suggests taking a road trip to Las Vegas to tie the knot. Despite the surprise and hesitation shown by the singer's partner, he strongly believes that they have everything they need - love, courage, money, and a sense of adventure - to make the night one for the ages.


The sentiment is romanticized by the lyrics, with the singer expressing the depth of his love and the strength of his convictions by stating that he is ready to bet it all on them. The idea of going to Las Vegas to get married may seem impulsive and reckless, but the singer underscores the fact that they neither need a lot of cash nor the permission of their parents/family to take the leap. The singer seems convinced that all they need is Vegas, and the love they share will create the magic needed to make their union permanent.

Any chance you could post An Audience with Donny Osmond as well please from 2002?

Classy...respectful...IMO these 2 represent an era gone by. These are truly hardworking entertainers who care about their audience. Their talent is off the charts. I hope to someday, after Covid of course, see them perform; what a feel-good show!

Dr.Roslee CTZONER SABAH
