Dancing In The Moonlight 2
King Harvest Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We get it on most every night
And when that moon gets big and bright
It's a supernatural delight
Everybody was dancin' in the moonlight

Everybody here is out of sight
They don't bark and they don't bite
They keep things loose, they keep things light
Everybody was dancing in the moonlight

Dancing in the moonlight
Everybody's feeling warm and bright
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight

We like our fun and we never fight
You can't dance and stay uptight
It's a supernatural delight
Everybody was dancin' in the moonlight

Dancing in the moonlight
Everybody's feeling warm and bright
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight

Everybody here is out of sight
They don't bark and they don't bite
They keep things loose, they keep things light
Everybody was dancing in the moonlight

Everybody's dancing in the moonlight
Everybody's feeling warm and bright
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight
Everybody's feeling warm and bright
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight

Everybody's dancing in the moonlight
Everybody's feeling warm and bright
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight
Everybody's feeling warm and bright




It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight

Beautiful, Wonderful, Incredible memories that bring a VERY big meaningful survival tactic that I grabbed on to, when I was struggleing to live. This song played an instrumental part of me being alive, today. Along with my ABSOLUTE, most BEST friend in the world, Sofi. I was 16, and very suicidal, and actually attempted 5 times, before I was 16. I awoke from a coma, to this song. Sofi, by my side. That's when I decided to fight. 44 years later, I've come a long way. And Sofi, me, and this song, continue to be a combined effort to bring about an awareness of mental health issues. At that time, no one knew. I actually don't know how to accurately express express those emotions. All I can say is, THANK YOU for posting. And, I'm doing well.

@KingHarvestMusic
