Moonlight Serenade Lyrics

Stars are aglow and tonight how their light sets me dreaming
My love, do you know that your eyes are like stars brightly beaming?
I bring you and sing you a moonlight serenade

Let us stray till break of day in love's valley of dreams
You and I, a summer sky, a heavenly breeze kisses the trees

So don't make me wait, come to me tenderly in the June light
I stand at your gate and I sing you a song in the moonlight
A love song, my darling, a moonlight serenade

We can stay till break of day in love's valley of dreams
You and I, a summer sky, a heavenly breeze kisses the trees

So don't make me wait, come to me tenderly in the June light
I stand at your gate and I sing you a song in the moonlight
A love song, my darling, a moonlight serenade

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

My favorite version of this song. A big hug and kiss to the person who first introduced me to its video SO long ago. May s/he have a wonderful day, especially with this particular day being very rewarding for her/him. And may s/he know that no matter where I am, s/he will always bring a smile to my face...that quirky laugh; the door slapping her skinny butt in the behind before s/he sat with me on that bench (albeit the wrong side of me when the perfume was on the other side of my neck:); the unbelievable wit that nobody can surpass; the inquisitive and all-knowing brain that is sexier than anyone can imagine; the ability to feel emotions so deeply while reading others so well at times; and the cutest lil' body part(s) above the waist that any living being possesses. Mmmmmmmm. Shame on me. I digress. The song lyrics are self-explanatory, and even though I shall never get my dance, it will always be one of my most cherished songs...for obvious reasons. Here's to Carly, and here's to a memory of someone so special that even s/he cannot recognize it within her/himself.
