             Am         Bm/A        Am7
Well, it's a marvellous night for a Moondance,
D/A       Am        Bm/A         Am7  D/A
With the stars up above in your eyes.
      Am       Bm/A          Am7
A fantabulous night to make romance,
D/A         Am        Bm/A    Am7   D/A
'Neath the colour of October skies.

And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
And I’m trying to please to the calling
Of your heartstrings that play soft and low

             Dm      Am
You know the night's magic, seems to,
 Dm          Am
whisper and hush.
             Dm   Am
You know the soft moonlight, seems to shine,
Dm          E7
in your blush.

Chorus:
    Am     Dm       Am        Dm
Can I just have one more Moon-dance with
Am  Dm  Am    Dm
you, my love?
    Am     Dm        Am      Dm
Can I just make some more ro-mance with
Am  Dm  Am   E7
you, my love?

Well, I want to make love to you tonight
I can’t wait ’til the morning has come
And I know now the time is just right
And straight into my arms you will run
And when you come my heart will be waiting
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

And every time I touch you, you just tremble inside
Then I know how much you want me that you can’t hide

Chorus

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

You know the night’s magic seems to whisper
and hush
You know the soft moonlight seems to shine in
your blush

Chorus

One more moondance with you
In the moonlight
On a magic night
La, la, la, la
In the moonlight
On a magic night
Can’t I just have one more moondance with you,
my love?
