Lyrics

V1
(F) In the light of the moon on a cool summer night
all the (Bb) stars lined up with their magical light
Just (Dm) Merle and his girl with Sal and her pal
they (C) danced till dawn to sweet (F) love songs

V2
(F) In the light of the day in the warm summer sun
(Bb) swimming at the beach, soaking up the fun
Just (Dm) Merle and his girl with Sal and her pal
they (C) splashed till dusk, feeling (F) sun struck

CH 1
(Am) under the moon and under the sun
where (Dm) there are always sweet moments of love
where (Am) girls with guys find hope in romance
where (Bb) there are changed rhythms
(C) rhythms of the (F) dance

V3
(F) In the twilight zone as the full moon arose
(Bb) love took a turn down a different road
Now (Dm) Merle and Sal’s pal and Sal and Merle’s girl
de(C)cided to give - new love a (F) whirl

B
Now (Bb) guy with a guy and girl with a girl
(C) Merle and Sal found true love
in their newfound (F) world

CH 2
(Am) Under the moon and under the sun
where (Dm) there are always sweet moments of love
where (Am) people seek to find hope and romance
where (Bb) there are changed rhythms
(C) rhythms of the (F) dance (x2)
