I heard that lately, You've gone through a mysterious change. People say you're secretive, And you've been acting strange. They say there's magic afoot stay away they all warn, But to me you were magical from the day that you were born I have become spellbound, Spellbound. You lifted me up high, Now I don't know how to get down. I don't know how to get down. You're very different, You are so rare. Some kind of witchcraft, Is flying through the air. I'll admit I can't explain why I feel how I do, So you must have cast a spell, That's why my life feels new. I have become spellbound, Spellbound. You lifted me up high, Now I don't know how to get down. I don't know how to get down. I have become spellbound, Spellbound. You lifted me up high, Now I don't know how to get down. No, I don't know how to get down. No, I don't know how to get down. No, I don't know how to get down.

Well my eyes are closed, but my heart's on fire Because the clock is approaching the midnight hour I leave my window open, all the lights are out And from the darkest night comes the lightest shout Moonshine, moonshine moon The cow jumped over the moonshine moon Moonshine, moonshine moon I'll love you tonight under the moonshine moon Well as we walk through the streets, there's no-one nowhere And our nightgown's trailing and our feet are bare I don't know where we're going and I don't care Just as long as you're here and the moon's up there Moonshine, moonshine moon The cow jumped over the moonshine moon Moonshine, moonshine moon I'll love you tonight under the moonshine moon Now all the little boys and girls around the town Dreaming through the darkness till the moon goes down But me and my baby gonna be up all night Dancing under the moonlight Moonshine, moonshine moon I'll love you tonight under the moonshine moon Moonshine, moonshine moon The cow jumped over the moonshine moon Moonshine, moonshine, moonshine, moonshine moon
