Harvest Moon
Handsome Ghost Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come a little bit closer
Hear what I have to say

Just like children sleepin′
We could dream this night away

But there's a full moon risin′
Let's go dancin' in the light

We know where the music′s playin′
Let's go out and feel the night

Because I′m still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon

When we were strangers
I watched you from afar

When we were lovers
I loved you with all my heart

But now it′s gettin' late
And the moon is climbin′ high

I want to celebrate
See it shinin' in your eye

Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I′m still in love with you
On this harvest moon

Because I′m still in love with you
I want to see you dance again

Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon
