Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't resist the light of the moon
So place me in a light that is mellow
And let me hear a beautiful tune
The music must flow
The lights must be low
Soft lights and sweet music
Soft lights and sweet melody
Will bring you closer to me
Chopin' and pale moonlight
Reveal all your charms
So give me velvet lights and sweet music
And you in my arms
Bring out the gypsy in me
