MoondanceAnita Baker

Songwriter: Van Morrison

Producer: George Duke

[Intro]
It's just an old Van Morrison tune
It's called "Moondance"

[Verse 1]
Well, it's a marvelous night for a Moondance
Beneath stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
Beneath the cover of October skies
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
And I'm trying to please to the calling
Of your heart-strings that play soft and low
And all the night's magic seems to whisper and hush
And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush

[Chorus]
Can I just have some more romance with you, with you, my love
Can I just have one more Moondance with you, my love

[Verse 2]
Well, I wanna make love to you tonight
I can't wait 'til the morning has come
And I know that the time is just right
And straight into my arms you're gonna run
And when you come my heart will be waiting
To make sure that you're never alone
There and then all my dreams will come true
There and then I'm gonna make you my own
Every time I touch you, you just tremble inside
And I know that you want me that you said you can't
Don't you know you can't hide, baby

[Chorus]
Baby, can we dance?
Can I just make some more romance with you, my love

[Scatting]

[Outro]
Every time I touch you, baby, you tremble
And I know that you want me, baby, that
Baby, that you can't hide, you can't hide it from me, baby
Let me dance, one more dance, one more dance with you
Baby, let me dance, I wanna dance, let me dance with you
Baby, dance, said I wanna dance with you, baby
Dancin', dancin'

Anita Baker

Anita Baker is a Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter known for her distinct low contralto vocals. She started out in the band Chapter 8, which had the hit song “I Just Wanna Be Your Girl” that was later sampled by Bone Thugs-n-Harmony for their hit song “1st of tha Month.” “Anita” went on to become a big name in ‘80s R&B alongside “Luther” and “Whitney” as she began to rack up #1 hits.

Her debut album, The Songstress, was released in 1983 on independent label Beverly Glen and featured the hit song “Angel.” She left Beverly Glen and signed with Elektra Records, releasing her second album Rapture in 1986, which went on to sell over 5 million albums and peaked at #1 on the Billboard R&B Albums chart thanks to the hits “Sweet Love,” “Same Ole Love,” and “Caught Up in the Rapture.”

Her third album, Giving You the Best That I Got, was released in 1988 and hit #1 on the Billboard 200, and the title track hit #1 on both the Billboard R&B and Adult Contemporary Singles charts. Rapture and Giving You the Best That I Got accounted for five of her eight Grammy Awards, with her sixth in that time frame coming from her gospel collaboration with The Winans on the song “Ain’t No Need To Worry” in 1988.
