Shine on Harvest Moon
Moonlit Tales of Love's Yearning
Lyrics
The night was mighty dark so you could hardly see
The night was very dark, making it difficult to see.
For the moon refused to shine
The moon did not provide light, refusing to shine.
Couple sitting underneath the willow tree
A couple was sitting beneath a willow tree.
For love, they pined
They longed for love.
Little May was kinda 'fraid of darkness
Little May was somewhat afraid of darkness.
So she says, "I guess I'll go"
May decided to leave, expressing her fear of the dark.
Boy began to sigh, looked up to the sky
The boy sighed and looked up at the sky.
Told the sky his little tale of woe
He shared his tale of woe with the sky.
So shine on
Expressing a desire for light and positivity.
Shine on harvest moon
Asking for the moon to shine on the harvest moon.
Up in the sky
Referring to the moon being in the sky.
I ain't had no lovin' since January, February, June or July
The speaker hasn't experienced love since several months.
Snow time ain't no time to stay outdoors and spoon
In winter, it's not suitable to stay outside and engage in romantic activities.
So shine on
Reiterating the desire for the moon to shine on the harvest moon.
Shine on harvest moon for me and my gal
Asking for the moon to shine for the speaker and their romantic partner.
Snow time ain't no time to stay outdoors and spoon
Repeating that winter is not a suitable time for outdoor romance.
So shine on
Reiterating the desire for the moon to shine on the harvest moon.
Shine on harvest moon for me and my gal
Asking for the moon to shine for the speaker and their romantic partner.
