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, 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 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 like      Mornin' noon and night, when the feelin' comes around   Somewhere in some sky that ol' moon is surely shinin' bright      I prefer the moonlight and a blanket   And the one right little lady by my side, oh 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 like   When its magic moment time   I prefer the moonlight, I prefer the moonlight   I prefer the moonlight, I prefer the moonlight   I prefer the moonlight, I prefer the moonlight      Moonlight, moonlight, moonlight   Moonlight, moonlight, moonlight   I prefer the moonlight, I prefer the moonlight   I prefer the moonlight, I prefer the moonlight   I prefer the moonlight, I prefer the moonlight   I prefer the moonlight, I prefer the moonlight   I prefer the moonlight, I prefer the moonlight
