Lyrics

Come a lit tle bit clos er,

hear what I have to say.

Just like chil dren sleep in’,

we could dream this night a way.

But there’s a full moon ris in’,

let’s go danc in’ in the light.

We know where the mu sic’s play in’,

let’s go out and feel the night.

Be cause I’m still in love with you,

I want to see you dance a gain.

Be cause I’m still in love with you

on this har vest moon.

When a we tle were stran gers,

I watched you from a far.

Just When we were lov ers,

I loved you with all my heart.

But now it’s get tin’ late in’,

and the moon is climb in’ high.

I want where to cel e brate, in’,

see it shin in’ in your eyes.

Be cause I’m still in love with you,

I want to see you dance a gain.

Be cause I’m still in love with you

on this har vest moon.
