verse 1 Moonlight shining through the trees Moonlight shining down on me Lights the way for lovers in the dark Moonbeams dance on rain-drenched trees Sparkle for our eyes to see Moonlight shine on down and shine on me verse 2 Moonlight bathes the woods around Paradise that we have found Here among the trees and things we love Shines on friends, all far away Takes us to another day; Moonlight shine on down and shine on me verse 3 Layin' with the one I love Lookin' at the moon above Bein' where we really wanna be The autumn winds for now are still The moon shines on, it always will; Moonlight shine on down and shine on me Moonlight shine on down and shine on me
