Can't Fight The Moonligh
RIMES LEANN Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Under a lovers' sky
Gonna be with you
And no one's gonna be around
If you think that you won't fall
Well, just wait until
'Til the sun goes down

Underneath the starlight, starlight
There's a magical feeling, so right
It'll steal your heart tonight

You can try to resist
Try to hide from my kiss
But you know
But you know that you can't fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark
You'll surrender your heart
But you know
But you know that you can't fight the moonlight
No (no), you can't fight it
It's gonna get to your heart

There's no escape from love
Once a gentle breeze (once a gentle breeze)
Weaves its spell upon your heart
No matter what you think
It won't be too long (not too long)
'Til you're in my arms
Underneath the starlight, starlight
We'll be lost in the rhythm, so right
Feel it steal your heart tonight

You can try to resist
Try to hide from my kiss
But you know
But you know that you can't fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark
You'll surrender your heart
But you know
But you know that you cant, can't fight the moonlight
No (no), you can't fight it (no)
No (no) matter what you do (no matter what you do)
The night is gonna get to you

Don't try
You're never gonna win, oh

Underneath the starlight, starlight
There's a magical feeling, so right
It will steal your heart tonight

You can try to resist (you can try)
Try to hide from my kiss
But you know
But you know that you can't fight the moonlight (you know that you)
Deep in the dark (deep in the dark)
You'll surrender your heart
But you know
But you know that you can't fight the moonlight
No, you can't fight it

You can try to resist (you can try to resist my kiss)
Try to hide from my kiss
But you know
(Don't you know that you can't) can't fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark
You'll surrender your heart (surrender your heart)
But you know
But you know that you can't fight the moonlight




No, you can't fight it
It's gonna get to your heart

Overall Meaning

LeAnn Rimes' hit song "Can't Fight The Moonlight" is a love song that uses the moonlight as a symbol of the power of love. The first verse begins with the couple being outside under a lovers' sky with no one around them. The lyrics suggest that the couple will fall in love as soon as the sun goes down, setting the tone for the passionate, romantic melody. The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea that the moonlight is irresistible and has the power to make people fall in love. The singer encourages her beloved to give in to the magical feeling and stop fighting the natural pull of fate, represented by the moonlight.


The lyrics use a lot of romantic imagery, like being "lost in rhythm" and "surrendering your heart" to someone you love. The repeated phrase "you can't fight the moonlight" emphasizes the theme of giving in to passion and letting love take hold. Even though the verses suggest that the lover might resist at first, the chorus makes it clear that there is no stopping the natural course of love. The song's upbeat tempo and catchy melody make it a popular dance track at weddings and other romantic events.

Under a lover's sky
Gonna be with you
And no one's gonna be around
If you think that you won't fall
Well just wait until
'Til the sun goes down
Underneath the starlight, starlight
There's a magical feeling so right
It will steal your heart tonight
You can try to resist
Try to hide from my kiss
But you know, but you know that you
Can't fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark, you'll surrender your heart
But you know, but you know that you
Can't fight the moonlight, no
You can't fight it
It's gonna get to your heart
There's no escaping love
Once the gentle breeze
Weaves its spell upon your heart
No matter what you think
It won't be too long (not too long)
'Til you're in my arms
Underneath the starlight, starlight
We'll be lost in the rhythm, so right
Feel it steal your heart tonight
You can try to resist
Try to hide from my kiss
But you know, but you know that you
Can't fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark, you'll surrender your heart
But you know, but you know that you
Can't fight the moonlight, no
You can't fight it
No matter what you do
The night is gonna get to you
Don't try, you're never gonna win, oh
Underneath the starlight, starlight
There's a magical feeling, so right
It will steal your heart tonight
You can try to resist, try to hide from my kiss
But you know, but you know that you
Can't fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark, you'll surrender your heart
But you know, but you know that you
Can't fight the moonlight
No, you can't fight it
You can try to resist, try to hide from my kiss
But you know, don't you know that you can't
Can't fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark, you'll surrender your heart
But you know, but you know that you
Can't fight the moonlight
No, you can't fight it
It's gonna get to your heart
