You certainly know the right thing to wear
Moonlight becomes you, I'm thrilled at the sight
And we could get so romantic tonight
You're all dressed up to go dreaming
Now don't tell me I'm wrong
What a night to go dreaming
Moonlight becomes you
And I want you to know
It's not just because there's moonlight
Although moonlight becomes you so
Moonlight becomes you, it goes with your hair
You certainly know the right thing to wear
Moonlight becomes you, I'm thrilled at the sight
And we could get so romantic tonight
You're all dressed up to go dreaming
Now don't tell me I'm wrong
What a night to go dreaming
Mind if I tag along?
Moonlight becomes you
And I want you to know
It's not just because there's moonlight
Although moonlight becomes you so
