[Verse 1]
A big moon is rising so bright in the sky
But it won't shine brighter than the stars in your eyes
It rises above me so bright and so blue
And I won't see anyone as lovely as you

[Chorus]
Take me into the night
Past these lonely dreams in my heart
I love you more than I can show you
More than I could know in my heart

[Verse 2]
So lay down beside me and hold me tonight
For your love has found me and it feels so right
These thoughts in my mind are so scattered and few
But I won't see anyone as lovely as you

[Chorus]
Take me into the night
Past these lonely dreams in my heart
I love you more than I could show you
More than I could know in my heart

[Outro]
In my heart
