[Verse 1]
When I passed you in the doorway
Well you took me with a glance
I should have took that last bus home
But I asked you for a dance
Now we go steady to the pictures
I always get chocolate stains on my pants
And my father he's going crazy
He says I'm living in a trance

[Chorus]
But I'm dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me in its spotlight
It's alright, alright
Dancing in the moonlight
On this long hot summer night

[Verse]
It's three o'clock in the morning
And I'm on the streets again
I disobeyed another warning
I should have been in by ten
Now I won't get out until Sunday
I'll have to say I stayed with friends
But it's a habit worth forming
If it means to justify the end

[Chorus]
Dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me in its spotlight
It's alright, alright
Dancing in the moonlight
On this long hot summer night

[Bridge]
And I'm walking home
The last bus has long gone
But I'm dancing in the moonlight

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me in its spotlight
It's alright, alright
Dancing in the moonlight
On this long hot summer night
Dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me in its spotlight
Dancing in the moonlight
On this long hot summer night

Niall Horan

Niall James Horan (born September 13th, 1993) is an Irish singer-songwriter, musician, and founder of Modest! Golf Management company. He auditioned on The X Factor at 16 years of age as a solo act and he came to worldwide prominence when he and four other boys were joined together to form pop boy band One Direction, which became one of the biggest boy bands in the world. Since the band’s hiatus in 2015, Horan has released two solo albums, has collaborated with the likes of Maren Morris, Julia Michaels and Ashe and has created a track for animated comedy film Smallfoot.

In September 2016, it was revealed that Niall had signed a solo contract with Capitol Records.

Following this news, Horan released his debut solo single “This Town”, becoming the first One Direction member to release solo music. “This Town” showcases his songwriting skills and vocals, as Horan strips everything down to him and his guitar. In support of the single, he also uploaded a one-take acoustic version of the single. The song peaked at No. 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart on January 14th, 2017.
