[Verse 1]
Amaj13 C6/9 Amaj13
In the moonlight when the shadows play

When the thought of what could happen

Takes your breath away sighs and whispers

Quiet laughter in the air unspoken invitations everywhere
C#7 Cmaj7
[Verse 2]

In the moonlight all the words you say
C6/9 Amaj13 F#m7 G#m7
Make it relatively easy to be swept away

In the half light can we trust the way we feel
Cmaj7 F#m7 C#7sus4 C#7
Can we be sure that anything is real?
[Bridge]

Stars keep secrets as they wandering discreetly
Gm9 Gm7/C C7(b9) Fmaj7
While the echoes of a song go drifting by

We must be careful not to lose our way completely

Or the magic that we see here

We can't be sure will be here

in the love light when our eyes have grown accustomed to the day----light

For all the things we've dreamed of in the moonlight

Will be there e e-------
