Verse 1

 
A D
Well, it’s a marvelous night for a moondance
A E
With the stars up above in your eyes
A D
A fantabulous night to make romance
A E
‘Neath the cover of October skies
F#m D
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
A E
To the sound of the breezes that blow
A D
And I’m trying to please to the calling
A E
Of your heart-strings that play soft and low
 

Chorus

 
A D
And all the night’s magic seems to whisper and hush
A E
And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush
 

Verse 2

 
A D
Can I just have one more moondance with you, my love?
A E
Can I just make some more romance with you, my love?
A D
Well, I wanna make love to you tonight
A E
I can’t wait ’til the morning has come
F#m D
And I know now the time is just right
A E
And straight into my arms you will run
A D
And when you come, my heart will be waiting
A E
To make sure that you’re never a-lone
F#m D A
There and all, the wonders of love you will own
 

Chorus

 
A D
And all the night’s magic seems to whisper and hush
A E
And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush

And when you come, my heart will be waiting

La, la, la, la, la in the moonlight
A
On a magic night
