I Prefer the Moonlight

When temptin' eyes 'cross the room

Said to me I'd love to be with you

I'm not tempted for a moment

I just think about my woman

My baby calls me on the phone

Telling me I need to hurry home

Well the hurryin' is easy

'Cause she's waiting up

With all the love I'm needin'

I prefer the moonlight, and a blanket

And the one right little lady by my side

That's what I like

I prefer a late drive down the turnpike

With the moonlight shinin' so bright

Got her by my side

That's what I'd like

When its magic moment time,

I prefer the moonlight

The river plays a quiet song

She and I lay down and play along

She's her mother's lovely daughter

Moonlight dances on the water

The moon is full and so am I

I look at her and feel like I could cry

But my tears contain no sorrow

'Cause I know she'll wake up by my side tomorrow

I prefer...

Mornin' noon and night,

When the feelin' comes around

Somewhere in some sky

That ol' moon is surely shinin' bright

I prefer...
