[intro:] 2 x |Am7  Bm7 |Cmaj7   Bm7  |
 
[verse 1]
             Am7       Bm7         Cmaj7    Bm7
Well it's a marvelous night for a moondance  
          Am7      Bm7           Cmaj7   Bm7
With the stars up above in your eyes
      Am7     Bm7            Cmaj7    Bm7
A fantabulous night to make romance beneath the 
 Am7     Bm7       Cmaj7     Bm7
Color of October skies
         Am7          Bm7          Cmaj7     Bm7
All the leaves on the trees are   falling to the
Am7          Bm7             Cmaj7    Bm7
Sounds of the breezes that blow
         Am7      Bm7           Cmaj7    Bm7
And i'm trying to place to the calling of your 
 Am7            Bm7             Cmaj7    Bm7
Heartstrings that play soft and low

[bridge:]
             ||Dm7     |Am7   
You know the night’s    magic  
         |Dm7          |Am7  
Seems to whisper and   hush 
             |Dm7      |Am7              
You know the soft   moonlight
         |Dm7 {three hits}
Seems to shine
        |E7#9 {three hits}
In your blush
 
 
[chorus:]
    Am7    Dm7     |Am7        Dm7      
Can I just have one more moon dance with 
 Am7   Dm7      Am7  Dm7
You___      my love
    Am7     Dm7       Am7    Dm7
Can I just make some more romance with 
                1  2
 Am7 Dm7       Am7 E7#9
You___     my love
 

[verse: 2]
         Am7       Bm7          Cmaj7     Bm7
Well I want to make love to you tonight
         Am7       Bm7            Cmaj7     Bm7
I can't wait til the morning has come
       Am7        Bm7            Cmaj7     Bm7
And I know now the time is just right
             Am7     Bm7           Cmaj7     Bm7
And straight into my arms you will run
          Am7     Bm7           Cmaj7     Bm7
When you come my heart will be waiting 
         Am7            Bm7     Cmaj7     Bm7
To make sure that you're never alone
           Am7       Bm7                Cmaj7    Bm7
There and then all my dreams will come true dear
           Am7       Bm7          Cmaj7    Bm7
There and then I will make you my own

[bridge:]
          Dm7         Am7
And everytime I touch you 
           Dm7      Am7
You just tremble inside 
            Dm7          Am7     
Then I know how much you want me
          Dm7 {three hits}
That
           E7#9 {three hits}
You can’t hide
