Harvest Moon
Miranda Johansen Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come 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 dancing in the light
We know where the music's playing

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 love you with all my heart

But now it's getting late
And the moon is climbing high
I want to celebrate
See it shining 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
