one evening when I was walking down the road
saw the sky on fire
until the moon arose
and in my heart
everybody knows
and that is how it goes
the gift of love
so right
is gonna get you through the night

and so I kept right on til the rooster crowed
moon lit up the mountains
up in a silver glow
and in my mind
I knew that I suppose
and that is how it goes
heaven's above
so wise
can be found right here in your eyes

you are the moonshine of my life
you make me drunk with love
every single night
you are the moonshine of my life
you turn my darkest days
to paradise
and when I come to your door
I know I'll be sure
you'll pour me a cup and offer more
of your moonshine
tomorrow when I head back across the coast
you will still be waiting
just like a friendly ghost
and in my gut
there's no question of
who you really truly love
you are the moon
shine in
the heaven of my ever-lovin' life

you are the moonshine of my life
you make me drunk with love
every single night
you are the moonshine of my life
you turn my darkest days
to paradise
and when I come to your door
I know I'll be sure
you'll pour me a cup and offer more
your moonshine

and if I never come down I'll be glad
to think of all of the love that we had
and there's no reason to ever be sad
cause life aint so bad it aint so bad
and if the sun never rises again
we will always be better than friends
and there will never be ever an end
not to our love
our love
