Down by the river where the willows sway,
You and I, we found our way.
The stars are out, shining so bright,
And we're dancing in the moonlight.
Dancing in the moonlight, just you and me,
With the world at our feet, feeling so free.
Holding you close, everything's right,
As we're dancing in the moonlight.
The crickets sing a sweet country tune,
While we sway beneath the August moon.
Your smile's as warm as the summer breeze,
With you, my love, time seems to freeze.
Dancing in the moonlight, just you and me,
With the world at our feet, feeling so free.
Holding you close, everything's right,
As we're dancing in the moonlight.
No place I'd rather be tonight,
Than here with you in the soft moonlight.
We'll keep on swaying 'til the break of dawn,
In your arms, where I belong.
Dancing in the moonlight, just you and me,
With the world at our feet, feeling so free.
Holding you close, everything's right,
As we're dancing in the moonlight.
Dancing in the moonlight, love so true,
Every step, I'm falling for you.
