Moondance
Melissa Etheridge Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well it's a marvelous night for a moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
It's a fantabulous night to make romance
'Neath the cover of October skies
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
And I'm just trying to please to the calling
Of your heart strings that play soft and low

And all the night's magic seems to whisper and hush
And all the soul moonlight seems to shine in your blush
Can I just have one more moondance with you, my love?
Can I just make a little more romance with you, my love?

I want to make love to you tonight
I can't wait 'til the morning has come
And I know how the time is just right
And straight into my arms you will run
When you come, my heart will be waiting
To make sure that you're never alone
And all your dreams will come true, dear
Therein that I will make you my own

Everytime I touch you
You just tremble inside
And I know how much you want me there
You can't hide
Can I just have one more moondance with you, my love?
Can I just make a little more romance with you, my love?

Well it's a marvelous night for a moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
It's a fantabulous night to make romance
'Neath the cover of October skies
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
And I'm just trying to please to the calling
Of your heart strings that play soft and low

And all the night's magic seems to whisper and hush
And all the soul moonlight seems to shine in your blush
Can I just have one more moondance with you, my love?
Can I just make a little more romance with you, my love?
One more moondance in the moonlight
The magic moonlight





Can I just have one more moondance with you, my love?
