‘Moonlight Lady’ describes a beautiful elegant lady who is the ‘belle of the ball’, and loves to go out and enjoy the social scene. All the men notice her beauty and want to be her date.
I heard this at the end of a funeral once, so it must have perfectly described the elderly lady who had passed as she was in her younger days.
Lyrics
There were beggars and kings
In a magical sky
There were wings in the air
And I learned how to fly
There was me, there was you
In a world made for two, then you were goneMoonlight lady
Come along with me
To the bright city lights
It’s all right, ’cause tonight’s on me
Moonlight lady
Come along with me
To the bright city lights
It’s all right, ’cause tonight’s on meShe was satin and lace on the beach
And her beauty was there to inspire
She was loving the night in the grasp
Of a soft lit fireMoonlight lady
Come along with me
To the bright city lights
It’s all right, ’cause tonight’s on me
Moonlight lady
Come along with me
To the bright city lights
It’s all right, ’cause tonight’s on meEvery night is so empty without you
I’m so lonely since you went away
If by chance we could dance to the music
Let it play
Let me say Moonlight lady
Come along with me
To the bright city lights
It’s all right, ’cause tonight’s on me
Moonlight lady
Come along with me
To the bright city lights
It’s all right, ’cause tonight’s on meSeems it never rains in southern California
To the bright city lights
It’s all right, ’cause tonight’s on meIt never rains in California
But girl don’t they warn ya
To the bright city lights
It’s all right, ’cause tonight’s on meSeems it never rains in Southern California
To the bright city lights
It’s all right, ’cause tonight’s on meIt never rains in California
But girl don’t they warn ya
To the bright city lights
It’s all right, ’cause tonight’s on meIt never rains in California————————————————————Songwriters: Albert Hammond / Carole Sager / Mike HazlewoodMoonlight Lady lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group, Kobalt Music Publishing Ltd.
