Lyrics Patti Austin

Patti Austin

Shoot The Moon (remastered Lp Version)

Pressure slowly buildin' like a sky about to rain

Somethin' so electric in the air

All this time we’re killin' only leads us back again

To the feeling that’s been waitin’ for us here

It’s too late to be cautious

If it’s a mistake, it’s one we’re meant to make

Shoot the moon

‘Cause one heart is the most we can lose

And if we shoot the moon

There’s no way that the stars can refuse

Feel the tiger stalkin’ in the jungle of the heart

Hungry for the tender and the warm

We can keep on talkin’ but as long as we’re apart

The feelin' just can’t break into a storm

Take a chance when the music is playing

You dance, there’s no reason we can’t

Shoot the moon

‘Cause one heart is the most we can lose

And if we shoot the moon

There’s no way that the stars can refuse

Finding you here

Had the odds of a million to one

And you’re the one

Now, it’s up to us to finish what fate has begun

Take a chance when the music is playing

You dance, there’s no reason we can’t

Shoot the moon

‘Cause one heart is the most we can lose

And if we shoot the moon

There’s no way that the stars can refuse

Shoot the moon

(There’s nothin' standin' in our way)

‘Cause one heart is the most we can lose

And if we shoot the moon

(It’s just the chance we have to take)

There’s no way that the stars can refuse

Shoot the moon

(There’s nothin' standin' in our way)

‘Cause one heart is the most we can lose

And if we shoot the moon

(It’s just the chance we have to take)

There’s no way that the stars can refuse

Shoot the moon

(There’s nothin' standin' in our way)

‘Cause one heart is the most we can lose

And if we shoot the moon

(It’s just the chance we have to take)

There’s no way that the stars can refuse
