Moondance
Nathan East Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With the stars up above in your eyes
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 trying to please to the calling
Of your heart-strings that play soft and low
And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush
Can I just have one a' more Moondance with you, my love
Can I just make some more romance with a-you, my love
Well, I wanna make love to you tonight
I can't wait 'til the morning has come
And I know that the time is just right
And straight into my arms you will run
And when you come my heart will be waiting
To make sure that you're never alone
There and then all my dreams will come true, dear
There and then I will make you my own
And every time I touch you, you just tremble inside
And I know how much you want me that you can't hide
Can I just have one a' more Moondance with you, my love
Can I just make some more romance with a-you, my love
Well, it's a marvellous night for a Moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
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 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 soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush
One more Moondance with you in the moonlight
On a magic night
La, la, la, la in the moonlight
On a magic night
Can't I just have one more dance with you my love

I just heard this the radio and I quickly identified Michael McDonald's distinct vocals. I ABSOLUTELY love this rendition. It is so bluesy and jazzy! While I always liked Michael McDonald I never knew the scope of his talent. I don't know why this collaboration did not get more attention. I will be listening to this over and over again. Thanks for the posting!

I am a big Michael McDonald fan. We've been fortunate to see him seven times through the years.
His voice is truly amazing and this is another one of those songs that he kicks up to the highest level.
Love that voice!!
More please!
