INTRO - four bars
Verse 1 Well, it's a mar-vel-ous night for a moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fan-tab-ulous night to make romance
'Neath the cov-er of October skies
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
You know I'm try-in' to please to the calling
Of your heart-strings-that play-soft-and low
Bridge 1 (Sop/Alto) And all the night's magic seems to whi-sper and hush
(Bass/Tenor) And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush
Chorus (All) Can I just have one more moondance with you, my love?
Can I just make some more romance with a-you, my love?
Verse 2 Well, I wan-na make love to you tonight
I can't wait 'til the mornin' has come
And I know now the time is just right
And straight in-to my arms you will run
And when you come, my heart will be wait-ing
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
Bridge 2 (Bass/Tenor) And every time I– touch you, you just trem-ble inside
(Sop/Alto) And I know how much you want me that– you can't hide
Chorus (All) Can I just have one more moondance with you, my love?
Can I just make some more romance with a-you, my love?
