Under the Moonlight

Darlin’ let’s go
Where the night goes
Time slips
Oh Darlin’ how it flies
When the night goes by

All through the night
Sirens call
Come to me
And I’ll come to you
As the night softly
Goes by bye

Midnight
Moon on our shoulder
Daybreak
Another one older
Darlin’ heavenly blue
Glories fade into view

Let’s go
Under the stars
That are beating
Under the moonlight
Stars shoot
Dusk just a whisper
Make this night
Last forever
Oh how I wonder
Where the night goes
