                          D   G        D 
Let's go on a moonlight swim, 
far away from the crowd all alone upon the beach, 
                         G                    D 
our lips and our arms close within each other's reach 
         A      A7             G            D 
 we’ll be           on a moonlight swim. 

                        D   G        D 
Let's go on a moonlight swim, 
to the raft we can race, after just a little while, 
                   G                       D 
I'll sit and pretend that you're on a desert isle 
        A      A7            G            D        G D 
with me           on a moonlight swim. 

                    G 
Though the air is cold with kisses, oh, so sweet, 
       D                          Em              E                                            A 
I'll keep you warm, so very warm        from your head to your feet. 

                       D   G        D 
Let's go on a moonlight swim, 
we're in love and above there's a crazy gold balloon, 
                          G                D 
that sits winking down and inviting us to come 
 A      A7           G              D 
on in          on a moonlight swim. 

                    G 
Though the air is cold with kisses, oh, so sweet, 
       D                          Em              E                                            A 
I'll keep you warm, so very warm        from your head to your feet. 

                      D   G        D 
Let's go on a moonlight swim, 
we're in love and above there's a crazy gold balloon, 
                G                D 
that sits winking down and inviting us to come 
    A      A7           G              D 
on in          on a moonlight swim. 
G                               D      G                                D 
On a moonlight swim.         On a moonlight swim
