Once upon a time, a child heard a line
That moved him
The child never grew, the line it came true
And all around
Inside dreams it stays dormant through these days
That follow
Reminded only by the saddest lullaby
That was whispered

You've got to lie down for a while
This will pass it's only mild
You've got to ease your mind
For a while

I know I'll never be able to be free
From these memories
Have love and life the same
Embrace it every day
That it comes to you

You've got to lie down for a while
This will pass it's only mild
You've got to ease your mind
You've got to ease your mind
For a while, yeah

Lie down for a while
This will pass it's only mild
You've got to ease your mind for a while
Only for a while
Only for a while
Only for a while
Only for a while
Only for a while
Only for a while

we get it almost every night
and when that moon gets big and bright
it's supernatural delight
everybody was dancin' in the moonlight

== Guitar solo ==
everybody here is outta' sight
they don't bark and they don't bite
they keep things loose
they keep things alive
everybody was dancin' in the moonlight

dancin' in the moonlight
everybody feelin' warm, and right
it's such a fine and nat'ral sight
everybody's dancin' in the moonlight
we like our fun and we never fight
you can't dance and stay uptight
it's supernatural delight
everybody was dancin' in the moonlight

dancin' in the moonlight
everybody feelin' warm, and right
it's such a fine and nat'ral sight
everybody's dancin' in the moonlight
we like our fun and we never fight
you can't dance and stay uptight
it's supernatural delight
everybody was dancin' in the moonlight

== Guitar solo ==
we get it almost every night
and when that moon gets big and bright
it's supernatural delight
everybody was dancin' in the moonlight

dancin' in the moonlight
everybody feelin' warm, and right
it's such a fine and nat'ral sight
everybody's dancin' in the moonlight
we like our fun and we never fight
you can't dance and stay uptight
it's supernatural delight
