When tempting eyes across the road
Said to me I'd love to be with you
I'm not tempted for a moment
I just think about my woman
The baby calls me on the phone
Telling me I need to hurrily home
Well, the hurrying is easy
Because she's waiting up
With all the love I need.

I prefer the moonlight
The one right little lady by my side
That's what I like
I prefer a late drive down the turn park
With the moonlight shining so brightly
Got her by my side
That's what I'd like
I prefer the moonlight.

I prefer playing quiet song
She's a mother love her 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
Because I know
She'll wake up by my side tomorrow.

Morning, noon and night
When the feeling comes so right
Somewhere in some sky
Where the moon is surely shining bright...
