Moonlight Music and You
Laura Greene Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The night is full of love
Time my darling is standing still
Tonight my love I believe that we are the only two people in the world
Oh by the way, did you bring your guitar

All I want is moonlight, music and you in my arms
All I want is moonlight music and all of your charms
I want to put all my troubles away
In your arms I want to stay

All I want is moonlight music and you, you my love
All I need is moonlight music and stars up above
I want to stay by your side
Let tonight be our guide

Oh darling
Send me, send me, send me
To all the world and time

All I want is moonlight, music and your tender touch
All I need is moonlight, music, you're much too much
Tonight was made for bliss
Two lovers full of happiness

Moonlight, music and you, oh baby now
Moonlight, music and you, baby, baby now




Moonlight, music and you, baby, baby now
Moonlight...
