[Intro-Soft organ (Hammond-style) with light tremolo guitar and deep kick.
Backing vocals humming “Ooh, moonlight…” to set the tone]
Oh your love is moonlight
Oh your love is moonlight
[Verse- Light drums (brushes or muted snare), soulful electric guitar plucks. Female
(Keep it intimate)— let the vocal carry the emotion.]
Blossoms flaunting in the eye of day,
Love is always you
Every day.
Like a burning star
1000 times magnified,
Of moonlight..moonlight.. Moonlight...
[Pre Chorus-Add a small build — a sustained bass note, rising organ chords.]
A love that eats away the darkness from night
Gazing into your deep brown eyes,
Through the finest woven
Shimmery webs of your lies,
I smile.
Of moonlight.....
moonlight, moonlight.....
[Chorus- Full sound: gospel-style backing vocals, open hi-hats, layered harmonies. Female
Guitar strums more openly, bass groove deepens]
Watching you slip into sleep, moonlight
Waking up in a frenzy of azure sky,
Moonlight oh moonlight..
Oh, his love is like moonlight
Oh his love moonlight
(moonlight, moonlight)
[Bridge- Stripped down — mostly vocals and organ. Female.
Reintroduce full band on the last “moonlight, moonlight” repetition ]
To fall in love and yet to sedate,
then scatter the star in sky to scintillate.
On maple leaves arms with a burning flame
of your love ,
Oh my
moonlight, moonlight, moonlight.
Oh your love is moonlight,
Oh your love is moonlight,
( moonlight, moonlight , moonlight )
[Outro- Gentle fade — just organ, soft vocal hums, and echo, female voice ]
I couldn’t say it all, moonlight
Love feels cruel, I hurt each time
I hope it reaches you, moonlight
my true feelings as sweet as cherry wine .
For you are my moonlight....
moonlight , moonlight .
