When tempting eyes across the road
  Said to me I'd love to be with you
  I'm not tempted for a moment
  I just think about my woman
  The baby calls me on the phone
  Telling me I need to hurrily home
  Well the hurrying is easy
  Because she's waiting up
  With all the love I need
  
  I prefer the moonlight
  The one right little lady by my side
  That's what I like
  I prefer a late drive down the turn park
  With the moonlight shining so brightly
  Got her by my side
  That's what I'd like
  I prefer the moonlight
  
  I prefer playing quiet song
  She's a mother love her daughter
  Moonlight dances on the water
  The moon is full and so am I
  I look at her and feel like I could cry
  But my tears contain no sorrow
  Because I know
  She'll wake up by my side tomorrow
  
  Morning, noon and night
  When the feeling comes so right
  Somewhere in some sky
  Where the moon is surely shining bright
