LeAnn Rimes Can’t Fight The Moonlight Lyrics
Under a lover’s sky
Gonna be with you
And no one’s gonna be around
If you think that you won’t fall
Well just wait until
‘Til the sun goes down
Underneath the starlight, starlight
There’s a magical feeling so right
It will steal your heart tonight
You can try to resist
Try to hide from my kiss
But you know, but you know that you
Can’t fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark, you’ll surrender your heart
But you know, but you know that you
Can’t fight the moonlight, no
You can’t fight it
It’s gonna get to your heart
There’s no escaping love
Once the gentle breeze
Weaves its spell upon your heart
No matter what you think
It won’t be too long (not too long)
‘Til you’re in my arms
Underneath the starlight, starlight
We’ll be lost in the rhythm, so right
Feel it steal your heart tonight
You can try to resist
Try to hide from my kiss
But you know, but you know that you
Can’t fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark, you’ll surrender your heart
But you know, but you know that you
Can’t fight the moonlight, no
You can’t fight it
No matter what you do
The night is gonna get to you
Don’t try, you’re never gonna win, oh
Underneath the starlight, starlight
There’s a magical feeling, so right
It will steal your heart tonight
You can try to resist, try to hide from my kiss
But you know, but you know that you
Can’t fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark, you’ll surrender your heart
But you know, but you know that you
Can’t fight the moonlight
No, you can’t fight it
You can try to resist, try to hide from my kiss
But you know, don’t you know that you can’t
Can’t fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark, you’ll surrender your heart
But you know, but you know that you
Can’t fight the moonlight
No, you can’t fight it
It’s gonna get to your heart
