    Come a little bit closer, hear what I have to say
Em (4)                                                                           D (4 w/low riff)
    Just like children sleepin' we could dream this night away.

     But there's a full moon rising,  let's go dancing in the light.

     We know where the music's playing, let's go out and feel the night.

                Because I'm still in love with you, I wanna see you dance

again, because I'm still in love with you, on this harvest moon.

     But now it's gettin' late, and the moon is climbin' high

     I want to celebrate, see it shinin' in your eye
