Dancing In The Dark
Garth Lyrics

Lazy yellow moon coming up tonight
The moon is slowly rising and shining a warm, yellow light through the trees.

Shining through the trees
The moon's light is filtering through the leaves of the trees surrounding them.

Crickets are singing and lightning bugs
The sounds of crickets fill the air, and the soft glow of lightning bugs illuminates the night.

Are floating on the breeze, baby, get ready
The gentle, cool breeze carries along the sounds of the insects and the sweet, earthy smells of the night. The singer urges his beloved to prepare.

'Cross the field where the [unverified] turns back
They will cross a field where it appears the path ends in order to reach their destination.

By the old stump road
They will pass by an old tree stump, indicating that their destination is somewhere secluded and hidden away.

I'm gonna take you to a special place
The singer promises to take his beloved somewhere unique and meaningful to him.

That nobody knows, baby, get ready
The destination is a secret and personal to the singer, and he encourages his love to prepare for the journey.

You and me going fishin' in the dark
Together, they will go fishing in a place with no artificial light sources.

Lying on our backs and counting the stars
They will lay together, looking up at the stars in the dark, serene night sky.

Where the cool grass grows
Their location is near a river or some other location where the grass is lush and cool.

Down by the river in the full moonlight
They will be close to a river, wherein the light of the full moon reflects off the water, casting an ethereal glow.

We'll be falling in love in the middle of the night
The singer and his love will become more intimately connected as they spend time together in this idyllic setting.

Just moving slow
They will enjoy each other's company, taking things slowly and enjoying the moment without worrying about time.

Spend the whole night through
They will stay up all night, savoring the time they have and cherishing each other's company.

Feels so good to be with you
The singer expresses his happiness to simply be in his love's presence.

Spring is almost over and the summer's coming
The season is changing from spring to summer, and the singer is ready to take advantage of the warm weather with his love.

The days are getting long
As summer approaches, the days are getting longer, providing more time for the pair to be together.

I've waited all winter for the time to be right
The singer has been eagerly anticipating the chance to take his love to this special place for months.

Just to take you along, baby, get ready
The singer tells his love to prepare to make this special journey with him.

And it don't matter if we sit forever
There is no pressure to do anything, as long as they are together, that is all that matters.

And the fish don't bite
The fish may not be biting, but it does not matter to them as long as they are enjoying each other's company.

We'll jump in the river and cool ourselves
If they get too hot, the singer and his love will jump into the river to cool off.

From the heat of the night, baby, get ready
