The lyrics of the song depict two people in love under the light of a harvest moon and dancing to the music of the night.

Lyrics
Come a little bit closer
Hear what I have to say
Just like children sleepin’
We could dream this night away
But there’s a full moon risin’
Let’s go dancin’ in the light
We know where the music’s playin’
Let’s go out and feel the night
Because I’m still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I’m still in love with you
On this harvest moon
When we were strangers
I watched you from afar
When we were lovers
I loved you with all my heart
But now it’s gettin’ late
And the moon is climbin’ high
I want to celebrate
See it shinin’ in your eyes
Because I’m still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I’m still in love with you
On this harvest moon
Because I’m still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I’m still in love with you
On this harvest moon
